Most Nigerian crypto apps quote a buy price 2–3% above the live market and call it a "spread." Monica doesn't. The USDT/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 USDT 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 USDT, type the naira amount, confirm. Live market rate, no spread.
Send USDT to an external wallet on TRC20, ERC20, or hold inside Monica for instant cashout later.
USDT lives across multiple chains and the network you choose dictates fees and confirmation time. Monica supports the four that matter for Nigerian users:
| Network | Confirmation Time | Fee Profile | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRC20 | ~3 seconds | Cheapest fees (~$1) | Most popular for USDT in Nigeria |
| ERC20 | 1–3 minutes | Higher gas (varies) | Standard for ETH-based wallets |
| BEP20 | ~5 seconds | Very low fees | Best if you're coming from Binance |
| Solana | ~30 seconds | Negligible fees | Ideal for high-frequency moves |
Always match your sending network to the receiving address. Sending USDT on the wrong network can result in lost funds; Monica's app shows the correct network beside every deposit address.
