Topping up your balance

Card payments in SCR, 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 Seychelles is governed by the Data Protection Act 2023. Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
