Frequently asked

How long does a deposit take?

Most deposits are verified automatically and added to your Wallet instantly. If a receipt needs a manual review, it's usually added within a few minutes, up to about 15 minutes.

Why was my receipt not accepted?

Make sure you upload a clear image of a Bank of Maldives or Favara transfer to Payer Private Limited (7730 000204 201) made within the last 24 hours, and that the receipt hasn't been used before. If it still fails, contact us with the receipt attached and we'll review it manually.

Do I need to enter the amount?

No. Payer reads the amount and reference directly from your uploaded receipt, so there's nothing to type in.
