How to deposit Naira (NGN)

Written by Spence

You add money to your Naira balance by bank transfer to your own dedicated Celia account. Once you have completed KYC, this account is permanently yours, the same account number every time, so you can save it and fund your wallet whenever you like.

Step by step

1. On the Cash tab, tap Deposit. 2. Enter the amount you want to add and continue to the Bank transfer screen. 3. From your bank app, transfer that amount to the Bank Name, Account Name, and Account Number shown (tap any detail to copy it), then tap I have paid.

Good to know

Transfer only from a bank account in your own name. When you enter the narration in your bank app, keep it simple and avoid crypto-related words. Deposits are usually credited within a few minutes of your bank confirming the payment, you will see "Deposit Queued" and your balance will update once it is verified. Try to send amounts that fit your current limits, since a large deposit above your tier will be held until you verify (see "My deposit is on hold").
