How to fund your wallet via bank transfer

Add naira by transferring to your Boldswitch Virtual Bank Account number.

Last updated June 1, 2026


The quickest way to add naira is a bank transfer to your Boldswitch Virtual Bank Account (VBA) number.

Find your VBA number

  1. Open the app and tap Add Money.
  2. Select Bank transfer.
  3. You'll see your dedicated VBA number, bank name and account name.

Make the transfer

  1. Open your bank's app or USSD.
  2. Add your VBA number as the recipient.
  3. Enter the amount and send.

Funds are credited to your Boldswitch balance once the transfer settles. Most bank transfers arrive quickly.

Good to know

  • Your VBA number is yours — you can reuse it for every deposit.
  • The sender's name should match your account details to avoid delays.
  • A small stamp duty may apply to some inbound transfers.

Tip: Save your VBA number as a beneficiary in your bank app so future top-ups take seconds.

If a transfer doesn't show up, see Deposit not received. For limits, see Deposit limits.
