About Moniepoint in Nigeria

Nigeria's wallet market is led by the free-transfer fintechs OPay and PalmPay, with MTN MoMo and Moniepoint charging small flat fees. Because OPay, PalmPay and Smartcash move money free, they set the price floor; the telco wallets compete on reach, not on fee.

On pricing, here is how Moniepoint structures its fees. Sending is priced by band : flat ₦20 up to ₦9,999.99; flat ₦20 above ₦10,000. Cash-out is priced by band : 0.5% ₦1–₦19,999.99 (cap ₦100); flat ₦100 above ₦20,000. Receiving money is free; the cost sits at sending and at cashing out to physical cash.

Government levy. Nigeria applies a government levy (Stamp Duty (EMTL)) on top of the operator fee — it is already included in the calculator totals above.

How to use it. You manage Moniepoint via the mobile app, the operator's USSD menu (no internet needed), or an authorised agent to deposit and withdraw cash. Fees are identical on every channel — the schedule above applies with no per-channel surcharge, and an agent should never charge cash on top of the fee deducted from your balance.
