You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach.
Transaction limits apply based on verification level and regulatory requirements.
Your account is subject to transaction limits for deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and spending based on your verification tier and applicable regulations. These limits may include daily, weekly, or monthly caps on transactions. We reserve the right to modify limits at any time to comply with regulatory requirements or manage risk. Higher limits may be available upon completion of enhanced verification procedures. We may impose additional restrictions on accounts that exhibit unusual activity or pose compliance risks.
You can fund your USD wallet through crypto, bank transfers, or virtual accounts.
Transa.io supports multiple funding methods including cryptocurrency conversions, Nigerian bank transfers, virtual account deposits, and international wire transfers. All deposits are subject to verification and processing times that vary by method. We do not guarantee specific processing times and are not liable for delays caused by third-party payment processors or banking institutions. Deposits may be rejected or refunded if they fail compliance checks or violate these Terms. Funding through cryptocurrency is subject to additional verification and may incur conversion fees.
Virtual cards allow you to make online USD purchases and pay for international subscriptions.
Transa.io provides virtual dollar cards that function as prepaid debit cards for online transactions. Cards are subject to spending limits and can only be used for permitted merchant categories. You are responsible for all transactions made with your virtual card. Cards may be declined, suspended, or terminated for suspected fraud, policy violations, or compliance reasons. Virtual cards cannot be used for certain restricted categories including gambling, adult content, or illegal activities. Card issuance is subject to availability and approval.
Conversions between USD and NGN use our prevailing exchange rates, which include a service margin.
Transa.io facilitates conversions between US Dollars and Nigerian Naira at exchange rates determined by market conditions and our operational costs. Our rates include a service margin and may differ from interbank rates or rates offered by other providers. Exchange rates are dynamic and may change without notice. The rate applicable to your transaction is the rate displayed at the time you confirm the transaction. We do not guarantee any specific exchange rate and rates may vary based on transaction size, payment method, and market volatility.
We charge fees for transactions, conversions, withdrawals, and card services.
Transa.io charges fees for various services including but not limited to: currency conversion fees, withdrawal fees, transfer fees, virtual card issuance and maintenance fees, international payment fees, and inactivity fees for dormant accounts.

We monitor transactions for fraud and compliance, and may suspend accounts exhibiting suspicious activity.
Transa.io employs automated and manual monitoring systems to detect fraud, money laundering, and policy violations. We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your account immediately if we detect suspicious activity, policy violations, or regulatory compliance concerns. During suspension, your funds will be held pending investigation, which may take up to 90 days or longer if required by authorities. We are not obligated to provide advance notice of suspension or detailed reasons for our actions. If your account is permanently closed due to violations, we may forfeit your remaining balance as permitted by law.
Disputed transactions must be reported within 60 days; unauthorized access must be reported immediately.
You must review your transaction history regularly and report any unauthorized transactions or errors within 60 days of the transaction date. Claims made after this period may not be honored. For unauthorized access to your account, you must notify us immediately to limit your liability. We will investigate all valid disputes in accordance with our policies and applicable payment network rules. Chargeback fees may apply for certain transaction types. You agree to cooperate with our investigation and provide requested documentation. Frequent disputes or chargebacks may result in account restrictions.
Accounts inactive for 12 months may incur maintenance fees or be closed.
If your account remains inactive (no login or transaction activity) for 12 consecutive months, it will be classified as dormant. Dormant accounts may be subject to monthly maintenance fees deducted from your balance. If your balance falls to zero or below a minimum threshold, we may close your account and remit any remaining funds to you at your last known address, minus applicable fees and costs. You may reactivate a dormant account by logging in and completing any required reverification procedures.
You must secure your account credentials and enable recommended security features.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, including keeping your password, PIN, and two-factor authentication codes confidential. Enable all available security features including biometric authentication and transaction notifications. Do not share your credentials with anyone or allow others to access your account. Use strong, unique passwords and update them regularly. You are liable for all activities conducted through your account until you report unauthorized access to us. We will never ask for your password or PIN via email, phone, or text message.

You may close your account at any time by withdrawing all funds and submitting a closure request through our app or customer support. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately, with or without notice, for violations of these Terms, suspected fraud, regulatory compliance reasons, or at our sole discretion. Upon termination, you must immediately stop using our services and any outstanding balances will be handled according to applicable law. We may retain your information as required for legal, regulatory, or business purposes. Termination does not affect accrued rights, obligations, or liabilities.

These Terms are governed by Nigerian law; disputes should first be resolved through negotiation.

The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. Notwithstanding the above, we may seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in any court of competent jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms periodically; continued use means acceptance of changes.
Transa.io reserves the right to modify or update these Terms of Use at any time. We will notify you of material changes via email, in-app notification, or by posting the updated Terms on our website.
