Frequently asked questions:

How long does a top-up take to reflect?
Most top-ups reflect within a few minutes. Timing depends on your bank's transfer speed. If your wallet has not been credited after 30 minutes, contact support via in-app live chat with your transfer receipt and session ID or transfer reference.
​

What is the minimum and maximum amount I can top up? There is no minimum. Top-ups above ₦300,000 may be flagged for an additional compliance review before being credited.
​

What is the fee for topping up?

A fee of 2% is charged on every top-up.

Can I fund my Cedis and USD wallets?

Currently, direct wallet funding is available for the Naira wallet only. You cannot top up your Cedis or USD wallet directly at this time.
​

Can I top up from someone else's bank account?
It is strongly advised to only top up from a bank account linked to your BVN. Transfers from a different account may be flagged and held for review. Your top-up account could be deactivated if this happens repeatedly.
​

I haven't received my top-up — what do I do?

Check that you transferred to the correct account number. If the account number was correct and the funds still haven't arrived after 30 minutes, reach out to support via in-app live chat or email help@prestmit.com with your transfer receipt, session ID or transfer reference.
