Phone number format

Switzerland mobile numbers are written locally as 078 123 45 67 and internationally as +41781234567. The leading 0 is a national prefix: we drop it when we add +41, so local-format numbers work if you also send the country.

Topping up your balance

Card payments in CHF, 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 Switzerland is governed by the Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
