Fund your Monica naira balance from any Nigerian bank, convert to USDC at live rate, withdraw to any external wallet on ERC-20, Solana.
Per 1 USDC • Updates every 60 seconds
Most Nigerian crypto apps quote a buy price 2–3% above the live market and call it a "spread." Monica doesn't. The USDC/NGN rate you see is the rate you pay. Combined with 0% transaction fees and instant delivery, the total cost difference on a ₦1,000,000 buy can be ₦20,000–₦30,000 vs typical exchanges.
Funding USDC from naira on Monica works in three quick steps.
Add naira via instant bank transfer from any Nigerian account. Most deposits clear within 30 seconds via NIBSS.
Open the buy screen, choose USDC, type the naira amount, confirm. Live market rate, no spread.
Send USDC to an external wallet on ERC-20, Solana, or hold inside Monica for instant cashout later.
USDC is multi-chain. Picking the right network saves you money and time:
| Network | Confirmation Time | Fee Profile | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| ERC-20 | 1–3 minutes | Higher gas (varies) | Standard for ETH-based wallets |
| Solana | ~30 seconds | Negligible fees | Ideal for high-frequency moves |
| BEP-20 | ~5 seconds | Very low fees | Best if you're coming from Binance |
| Polygon | Varies | Network-dependent | Confirm fees in your wallet |
Always match your sending network to the receiving address. Sending USDC on the wrong network can result in lost funds — Monica's app shows the correct network beside every deposit address.
