FLUTTERWAVE FAQS

Can I pay for my visa, school fees, and Facebook ads with my card (NGN and USD)?

The NGN card (Yellow card/limited use card) can only be used on Flutterwave merchant sites (look out for Flutterwave or its logo on the checkout page). The USD card can be used on sites that accept international prepaid cards.

Can I send money from my Barter USD gift card to my domiciliary account?

No. The cards are specifically designed for merchant payments and cannot be used to send/receive funds or fund a wallet/account on a merchant website. You can however send funds from your USD wallet to your domiciliary account.

Can I use my Nigerian Bank issued USD card to fund my USD wallet on barter?

You can only use an international or foreign card to fund your USD wallet

How do I move my funds from my collection balance to my payout balance?

The movement of funds from your collection balance to your payout balance is automatic and based on the settlement schedule/cycle. Generally, the settlement cycle for local & international transactions is T+1 and T+5 days respectively.
