• ●NIN verification
• ●Driver's licence (FRSC)
• ●Bank account name check
• ●BVN to account match
• ●CAC business registry check

New Zealand has no single national ID. Document OCR reads passports and driving licences, and liveness and face match confirm the person. We are evaluating registry checks for New Zealand.

Prices in NZD

Your balance is held in naira. Prices below are converted at ₦753.4227 per NZD, rounded up. Top-ups in NZD are credited at the same rate.

Phone number format

New Zealand mobile numbers are written locally as 021 123 4567 and internationally as +64211234567. The leading 0 is a national prefix: we drop it when we add +64, so local-format numbers work if you also send the country.

Topping up your balance

Card payments in NZD, converted to your naira balance at the rate shown when you pay. Provider availability is set per country, and cards in US dollars are the fallback where a local-currency option is not open yet.

Data protection

Personal data in New Zealand is governed by the Privacy Act 2020. Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
