How to Pay DSTV with USDT in Nigeria

Monica Editorial · 14 July 2026

The short answer: DSTV doesn't accept cryptocurrency — MultiChoice bills in naira. But if your money is in USDT, you can still renew in under 10 minutes: convert on Monica, then pay the subscription from the same app.

Step 1 — Deposit USDT

Send USDT (TRC-20 recommended: ~$1 network fee, confirmation in seconds to two minutes) to your permanent Monica address from any wallet or exchange.

Step 2 — It converts automatically

Once the deposit confirms on-chain, it converts to naira at the live market rate — 0% fees, credited in under 60 seconds after confirmation.

Step 3 — Renew your DStv

Open Bills → Cable TV → DSTV, enter your smartcard number, pick the package (Padi to Premium), confirm. Reconnection is typically instant; at worst, power-cycle the decoder.

What it costs

Official bouquet prices, ₦0 service fee, 0% conversion fee. The only cost in the chain is the network fee on your deposit.

GOtv and Startimes too

The identical flow covers GOtv and Startimes — all bouquets. Full details: pay DSTV, GOtv & Startimes with crypto.
