In Nigeria,we offer dedicated codes and channels on our shared USSD code. This code is presently connected on MTN and 9mobile. 

Getting set up on our shared USSD  is cost free, however there is a monthly maintenance fee of NGN 20,000 (Exclusive of 5% VAT). See our pricing page for pricing.

For KYC, we will require the following from you:

-Certificate of Incorporation.

-Letter of request 

-Valid Form Of ID (Int’l Passport, Voter’s Card, Driver’s License, National ID). 

It will take one working day to get it set up. 

For dedicated codes, we raise them on MTN, Airtel and 9 Mobile and attract an overall monthly maintenance fee of NGN 70,000 + 5% VAT, compulsory deposit of NGN 100,000 is required for the session cost and NGN 11,500 USSD code acquisition fee payable to NCC.
