You need to give Nigerians ability to verify using nin. Cause majority don't have a driver's license or passport. Which makes it difficult for verification, aside from that. It's a wonderful app. Also the charges for transfers and conversation is really high, please reduce it too. Why do I have to pay #500 to withdraw #1000 making it a total of #1500 transaction which is too high.

This is a scam!!! Do not download this App...They don't even have a proper customer service, it's all digital. I changed my phone from a Samsung to Honor... although I forgot to disable my old phone as a trusted device, but I still have access to my phone number and email. The app kept transferring me to the help page when I tried to recover my account. Whatever I do(reset password or disable trusted device) it kept sending a code to the old phone. After 30 hours it's still not solved.

The transaction charges are too much. 2% on every buy and sell. if it is 2% per at least five consecutive transactions, it will be fine. Not just that, after paying the big charges, you will still get the Coins at future price, which is bad. if you want to sell your coin, you get big charges again and sell at a lesser price compared to the current price of the coin which can make you lose most of your profit. Kindly review the charges and ensure coin are bought and sold in current price.
