Monica Wallet Guide — How to Use Your Monica Crypto Wallet

Step 1: Setting Up Your Monica Account

Step 1.1: Create Your Account

Visit monica.cash/app on your phone or computer. You can create an account using your email address or phone number. Choose a strong password that is unique to Monica. You will receive a verification code via email or SMS to confirm your identity.

The signup process takes less than 2 minutes. Once your email or phone is verified, you can proceed to identity verification.

Step 1.2: Complete Identity Verification (KYC)

Monica requires identity verification to comply with SEC regulations and AML policies. You will need to provide:

Full legal name as it appears on your government ID
Bank Verification Number (BVN) or National Identification Number (NIN)
Government-issued ID: National ID card, international passport, voter's card, or driver's license
Selfie verification: A photo to match against your ID

Verification typically processes quickly. Once approved, your account is fully activated and you can access all wallet features.

Step 1.3: Link Your Bank Account

Add the Nigerian bank account where you want to receive your Naira. Enter your bank name, account number, and verify the account name matches your Monica profile. You can link accounts from any Nigerian bank including GTBank, First Bank, UBA, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, and others. You can update your bank details later if needed.

Pro Tip: Make sure your bank account name matches the name on your Monica account exactly. Mismatched names can cause delays in processing Naira withdrawals. If your bank account has a slightly different name format, contact Monica support for assistance.

Step 2: Understanding Your Monica Wallet Addresses

Monica generates a unique wallet address for each supported cryptocurrency. These addresses are where you send crypto from external wallets or exchanges. Each cryptocurrency has its own address, and some cryptocurrencies have addresses on multiple networks. Always double-check that you are sending to the correct address on the correct network.

Finding Your Wallet Address

Log into your Monica account
Navigate to the Wallet section
Select the cryptocurrency you want to receive (e.g., Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum)
Your wallet address will be displayed as both a text string and a QR code
Tap Copy to copy the address to your clipboard

Supported Cryptocurrencies and Networks

Cryptocurrency	Network(s)	Deposit Fee	Conversion Time
Bitcoin (BTC)	Bitcoin network	$2 flat	15-40 min
USDT	TRC-20 (Tron), ERC-20 (Ethereum)	Free	1-10 min
Ethereum (ETH)	Ethereum network	Competitive	5-15 min
USDC	Multiple networks	Competitive	1-10 min
Solana (SOL)	Solana network	Competitive	5-15 min
Tron (TRX)	Tron network	Competitive	1-10 min
BNB	BNB Chain (BEP-20)	Competitive	5-15 min
Litecoin (LTC)	Litecoin network	Competitive	5-15 min
XRP	XRP Ledger	Competitive	5-10 min
TON	TON network	Competitive	5-15 min
Dogecoin (DOGE)	Dogecoin network	Competitive	5-15 min
Avalanche (AVAX)	Avalanche C-Chain	Competitive	5-15 min
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)	BCH network	Competitive	5-15 min

Critical Warning — Network Selection: When sending USDT, always confirm you are sending on the correct network (e.g., TRC-20 vs ERC-20). Sending crypto on the wrong network can result in permanent loss of funds. If your Monica USDT address is for TRC-20, you must send USDT on the Tron network. Sending ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address will result in lost funds.

Step 3: Depositing Crypto to Your Monica Wallet

Step 3.1: Copy Your Monica Address

In your Monica wallet, select the cryptocurrency you want to deposit, note the network, and copy the wallet address. Double-check the network matches what you intend to send.

Step 3.2: Send from Your External Wallet or Exchange

Open the wallet or exchange where your crypto is currently held (Trust Wallet, Binance, MetaMask, etc.). Initiate a withdrawal or send transaction:

Paste the Monica wallet address as the recipient
Select the correct network (must match Monica's network)
Enter the amount you want to send
Review the transaction details, including network fees
Confirm and send the transaction

Step 3.3: Wait for Automatic Conversion

Once the blockchain confirms your transaction, Monica automatically detects the deposit and begins the conversion process. You do not need to do anything else. The conversion happens automatically. USDT converts in 1-10 minutes, most altcoins in 5-15 minutes, and Bitcoin in 15-40 minutes.

Step 3.4: Receive Naira in Your Bank

After conversion, Monica deposits the Naira equivalent into your linked Nigerian bank account. The bank withdrawal is free. You will receive a notification confirming the deposit. Check your bank app or USSD to verify the credit.

Step 4: Checking Your Transaction History

Monica maintains a complete history of all your transactions. You can view:

Deposit history: Every crypto deposit with amount, cryptocurrency, conversion rate, and Naira equivalent
Withdrawal history: Every Naira bank withdrawal with amount, bank name, and status
Conversion rates: The rate applied at the time of each conversion
Transaction status: Whether a transaction is pending, processing, or completed

This transaction history is valuable for record-keeping and for resolving any issues with support. It also helps if you need transaction documentation for tax purposes or financial records.

Security Tips for Your Monica Wallet

Account Security

Strong password: Use a unique, complex password for your Monica account. Do not reuse passwords from other platforms
Enable 2FA: If Monica offers two-factor authentication, enable it immediately. This adds a second layer of security beyond your password
Secure your email: Your email is the recovery point for your Monica account. Make sure your email itself has a strong password and 2FA enabled
Beware of phishing: Always access Monica through the official URL (monica.cash). Do not click links in unsolicited emails or messages claiming to be from Monica
Log out on shared devices: If you access Monica on a shared computer or phone, always log out when done

Transaction Security

Verify addresses: Always double-check the wallet address before sending crypto. Compare the first and last 6 characters at minimum
Test with small amounts: For your first deposit, send a small amount to verify everything works correctly before sending larger amounts
Check the network: Confirm you are sending on the correct blockchain network. Wrong network = lost funds
Record your transactions: Keep a personal log of your Monica transactions (dates, amounts, rates) for your own records

First-Time User Tip: For your very first Monica transaction, we recommend sending a small amount of USDT (TRC-20). It has free deposits, the fastest conversion time (1-10 minutes), and very low blockchain fees (under $1). This lets you test the entire flow with minimal cost and risk. Once you see the Naira in your bank account, you will be confident to transact larger amounts.

Using the Monica Calculator

Before depositing crypto, you can use the Monica Calculator to see exactly how much Naira you will receive for any crypto amount. This helps you make informed decisions about when and how much to convert. The calculator shows real-time rates for all supported cryptocurrencies.

How to Use the Calculator

Visit the Calculator page
Select the cryptocurrency you plan to deposit
Enter the amount of crypto you want to convert
The calculator instantly displays the Naira equivalent at the current rate

Rates fluctuate based on market conditions, so the rate at the time of your actual deposit may differ slightly from the calculator estimate. However, the calculator gives you a reliable approximation for planning purposes.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: Deposit Not Showing

If you sent crypto to your Monica wallet but it is not showing:

Check blockchain confirmations: Use a blockchain explorer to verify your transaction has been confirmed. Bitcoin requires multiple confirmations which can take 30-60 minutes
Verify the network: Confirm you sent on the correct network. If you sent USDT on ERC-20 but your Monica address was for TRC-20, the transaction will not arrive
Verify the address: Compare the address you sent to with your Monica wallet address. Even one character difference means it went to a different address
Wait: During high network congestion, confirmations can take longer than usual. Give it extra time before contacting support
Contact support: If none of the above resolves the issue, contact Monica support with your transaction hash (TXID)

Issue: Naira Not Received in Bank

If Monica confirmed the conversion but Naira has not appeared in your bank:

Bank processing time: Some banks take a few minutes to reflect credits, especially during off-hours
Check all accounts: Verify the Naira was not sent to a different linked bank account
Bank maintenance: Nigerian banks occasionally have system maintenance that delays credits
Contact support: If more than 30 minutes have passed, reach out to Monica support with your transaction reference

Issue: Wrong Network Used

If you sent crypto on the wrong network (e.g., ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address), the crypto may be lost. This is a blockchain limitation, not a Monica issue. Always triple-check the network before sending. Monica support may be able to assist in some cases, but recovery is not guaranteed.

Tips for Getting the Best Experience

Use USDT on Tron for the fastest and cheapest experience. Free deposits, under $1 blockchain fees, and 1-10 minute conversion
Check rates before converting. Use the calculator to verify you are getting a competitive rate
Send larger amounts less frequently. Bitcoin's $2 flat fee is more economical on larger transactions. A $2 fee on $5,000 is just 0.04%
Keep your bank details updated. If you change banks, update your Monica profile immediately to avoid withdrawal issues
