KongaPay is a way to pay and get paid for things. At first, it was built for Konga.com. People loved using it so much that Konga decided to share the love and make it available even outside the Konga.com platform.
Registration on KongaPay is just as easy as transacting. Because we understand the peculiarities of our customers, we have reviewed our registration process to be simpler and customers can operate on different levels. The requirements levels are broken down as follows;
KongaPay Classic:
- Name
- Phone number (Verified with One Time Password)
- Date of Birth
- Gender
- Home address
KongaPay Premium:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Gender
- Home Address
- Card or Bank Account details
- BVN
To get started, simply follow the steps below;
Your registration is just this once and you will not be required to provide the same information when making a purchase or payment.
As a KongaPay Classic user, you can only make transactions on KongaPay if your wallet has been funded by another KongaPay user.
To link your cards, please follow the steps below:
To link your Bank account, please follow the steps below:
For One Time Password sent to my phone number linked to your bank account:
When you create a KongaPay account, we want to make absolutely sure that you are who you claim to be. This is why we use the BVN service to verify the information you provide. Once you create your account, you’ll notice how pain free it is to use KongaPay.
Forget tokens. Forget your wallet, even. We totally understand how tedious it must feel to enter all this information each time you make a payment. We also understand that we’re handling sensitive information. That’s why we only bother you for all this info once at signup.
In fact, it’s become a saying around here – you only KongaPay once #YOKO!How frustrating! We really don’t like it when that happens to our customers. We’ve seen this happen when there have been errors between the records held at the bank and what the bank sent to the BVN service.
For this, you’ll need to contact your bank. Make sure their records reflect the phone number you expect. Also make sure there isn’t an error with the date of birth on your records. We apologize for the inconvenience. You know we’d fix this ourselves if we could!
We take no prisoners when it comes to the security of your information.
First of all, you are always in control. No debit can occur on your account without you first authorising it with the KongaPay PIN and verification code sent by your bank to your phone or email. It’s like having two keys on the door to your account.
Secondly, we don’t store your sensitive payment information. We simply verify what you provide against your bank’s database. So, when you forget your PIN, we need proof that it is indeed you making the request. The fastest way to do this is to have you re-verify the information you entered when you signed up.
Finally, KongaPay is a regulated mobile money operator and are required by the Central Bank of Nigeria to maintain the same security standards you’ve come to trust with your bank.
In compliance with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regulations, transactions from your KongaPay account will be limited to the following:
KongaPay Lite: Maximum transaction limit of ₦3,000 per transaction / Maximum Daily Limit of ₦30,000 per day
KongaPay Classic: Maximum transaction limit of ₦10,000 per transaction / Maximum Daily Limit of ₦100,000 per day
KongaPay Premium: Maximum transaction limit of ₦100,000 per transaction / Maximum Daily Limit of ₦1,000,000 per day
PLEASE NOTE: These daily limits only apply to transactions from your KongaPay account; your bank’s transactional limits still apply.
