Safety, built in

Only you can move your money.

How your money is kept safe

Stops anyone else paying from your phone

Your face or fingerprint approves every payment

The key lives in your phone's secure chip. Nomapay has no key to your account.

Stops SIM swaps

A stolen SIM is not enough

Your number is how people pay you, not a key. A SIM thief gets a sign-in code, not your money.

Stops rushed or stolen transfers

Big changes wait, and you can cancel

Large transfers wait 6 hours. Account changes wait 48 to 72 hours. Cancel any time during the wait.

Forced to send money? Use your safety PIN.Set it up in advance. If someone ever forces you to pay, someone you trust is quietly told, our safety team is alerted, and you lose less. The safety PIN

Free to send. Free to receive. Free to hold.

Fees, plainly

Sending is free, with fair use. Every other fee, and any network fee, is shown on its own line before you confirm.

The things people ask first. Everything else is in the Help centre.

Visit the Help centre

Is Nomapay a bank?

No. Nomapay is a financial technology company: an app that lets you hold and send dollars by phone number. Your money stays in your own account, and only you can move it.

Can Nomapay take or freeze my money?

No. Only you can move it. Every payment is approved with your face or fingerprint, and Nomapay has no key that can move your money. The Security page explains each protection, and its honest limits.

What if I lose my phone?

Sign in on your new phone with your phone number, a code by SMS or WhatsApp and your face or fingerprint. If you use the same Apple or Google account, your key is already there.

If it is truly gone, you can recover your account with your two guardians, after a 72-hour wait that you can cancel if it was not you.

Is sending really free?

Yes. Sending to anyone, in any country, is free. Fair use: your first 100 sends each month are free when they’re above a small amount (about $0.35 in your own money). Smaller or extra sends pay the network fee at cost, shown before you confirm. Receiving and holding are free. Cash-out and bills cost 1% + the rate shown, and every fee is shown before you confirm.

How do I cash out?

To your bank or mobile money, where available. You see what you get, the rate and the fee before you confirm with your face, and it is usually paid within minutes. Cash-out is available in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria.

Which countries?

You can hold, send and receive dollars by phone number in any country. Cash-out, bills and buying dollars are available in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria. The Countries page shows what is available where.
