Crypto In. Naira Out. Spent in the Same App.

Every service on this page runs on the same loop: send BTC, USDT or any supported crypto to your Monica address, it converts to naira at the live market rate the moment it confirms on-chain (payout in under 60 seconds after confirmation, 0% platform fees) — and the naira is instantly spendable inside the same app. No withdrawing to a bank first, no second app, no P2P.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay bills with crypto in Nigeria?

Yes. On Monica you deposit BTC or USDT, it converts to naira at the live rate in under 60 seconds after on-chain confirmation, and you pay NEPA/DISCO electricity, DSTV, GOtv, Startimes, airtime, data and more inside the same app.

Which bills can I pay with USDT?

Electricity (all 12 Nigerian DISCOs), cable TV (DSTV, GOtv, Startimes), airtime and data on all networks, water, internet, and betting wallet funding (18+). USDT converts to naira first; the bill is settled in naira instantly.

What does it cost?

0% conversion fee, ₦0 bill-payment service fee. Airtime and data come at discounted rates (shown in-app). The only unavoidable cost is your deposit's blockchain network fee — about $1 on TRC-20.

How fast is it end to end?

USDT on TRC-20 confirms in seconds to ~2 minutes; conversion plus payment takes under a minute after that. Realistic total: under 5 minutes from wallet to paid bill.

Is paying bills with crypto legal in Nigeria?

Yes. The crypto leg is a lawful conversion under the SEC's VASP framework; the payment leg is an ordinary naira transaction.

Do I need a bank account?

No — bills are paid straight from your Monica naira balance. A bank account is only needed if you want to withdraw cash.

Can I pay a NEPA prepaid meter with Bitcoin?

Yes. Deposit BTC, wait for confirmation (10–30 minutes typical for Bitcoin), then buy the prepaid token — it arrives in minutes with the token number in-app.

What happens if my payment fails?

Failed bill payments are automatically reversed to your Monica balance, and in-app support runs 24/7 in English, Pidgin, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo.

Can I schedule recurring bills?

You can re-pay saved billers in two taps; recurring auto-pay is rolling out — check the app.

Why not just use my bank app?

If your money starts as crypto, Monica removes the extra hop: no exchange-then-withdraw-then-pay. One confirmation, one app, done — and the conversion itself is 0%.
