Cash Pickup Available for Nigeria

How does Cash Pickup work?

Simply select how much you want to send in US dollars (USD), enter information about your recipient, enter your payment information and submit your order. Please note that the amount you send must be in increments of $10 or our system will round up to the next $10 amount.

You will need to communicate the pickup number to your recipient. Please ask the BOSS Revolution retailer for the pickup number if you don't see it on your receipt or check the transaction details in the BOSS Money App. You will also receive the pickup number via text message and email.

Some of our partner networks in Nigeria will attempt to send the recipient a text message with the pickup number when the funds are ready for pickup, but consider this a backup to personally conveying the pickup number to your recipient.

Where can the recipient pick up the funds?

The funds sent to the recipient will be available at any branch of the following bank(s):

The recipient can pick up the funds at any branch of the bank that was specified.

THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT WITH THE BANK IN ORDER TO PICK UP FUNDS.

Additional banks will soon be added for cash pickup.

How will the recipient know when and where to pick up the funds?

Once the transfer has been processed, the funds are usually available for pickup within 30 minutes during normal banking hours.

The recipient must present the pickup number and a government issued photo ID to the cashier at any branch of the specified bank.

  • For First Bank: The recipient should identify the payer network as BOSS Revolution or IDT when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will begin with "BR" followed by 14 digits.
  • For Access Bank: The recipient should identify the payer network as BOSS Revolution or IDT when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will begin with "BR" followed by 14 digits.
  • For Zenith Bank: The recipient should identify the payer network as BOSS Revolution or IDT when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will begin with "BR" followed by 14 digits. At the time of pickup, a 6-digit validation code will be sent via SMS to the recipient's phone and must be presented to the cashier. You will also receive an SMS message with the validation code. Please note that the validation code is the last 6 digits of the pickup number.
  • For United Bank for Africa: The recipient should identify the payer network as BOSS Revolution when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will begin with "BR" followed by 14 digits.
  • For Polaris Bank: The recipient should identify the payer network as BOSS Revolution when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will begin with "BR" followed by 14 digits.
  • For GTBank: The recipient should identify the payer network as BOSS Revolution when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will begin with "BR" followed by 14 digits.
  • For Fidelity Bank: The recipient should identify the payer network as Thunes when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will be a 20-digit alphanumeric number beginning with “Thunes”.
  • For FCMB: The recipient should identify the payer network as VTN/VCash when speaking with the cashier. The pickup number will be a 13-digit alphanumeric number beginning with “VTN”.

When the order is ready for pickup, your recipient can go to any branch of the bank you have selected to pick up the funds in US dollars (USD).

Does the recipient need to bring ID to pick up the money?

The recipient must bring the pickup number and a government issued photo ID, such as a Bank Verification Number card, valid international passport, Nigerian Driver's License or National ID. (If the passport is not Nigerian, please ensure that it has not expired and that the recipient has valid entry to Nigeria.)

Zenith Bank will require two forms of identification: a government issued photo ID and a BVN.

Some bank branches will ask the recipient to complete a form with the details of the transaction and present it to the cashier to pick up the funds.

What is a Bank Verification Number?

A Bank Verification Number (BVN) is a unique number issued to every Nigerian bank customer by the Central Bank of Nigeria to protect the customer's bank account from unauthorized access. It is a means of identification for that banking customer across ALL Nigerian banks.

The recipient can bring their BVN card to the bank for validation of ID. If the recipient does not have a BVN, it can be created at the bank branch with valid ID. It takes 24 hours for a BVN to be created, and it can be used for any bank in Nigeria.

Can I request the payout to the recipient in Nigerian naira (NGN) instead of US dollars (USD)?

Due to the recent directive by the Central Bank of Nigeria, cash pickup transactions must be paid out in US dollars (USD).

The recipient can ask the bank in which they pick up the funds to convert the US dollars to Nigerian naira. Or they can take the dollars to their own bank or any location that will exchange dollars to naira.

What should I do if my recipient does not have an account at a participating bank?

Your recipient does not have to have an account with a participating bank in order to pick up funds that you send.

Every branch of the participating banks has access to the order record and is an authorized location where the funds that you send can be retrieved.

The bank cashier had trouble locating my transaction. What should my recipient do?

Have your recipient tell the bank cashier the name of the partner network in Nigeria:

  • For First Bank, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, United Bank for Africa, Polaris Bank and GTBank, the partner network is: BOSS Revolution/IDT
  • For Fidelity Bank, the partner network is: Thunes
  • For FCMB, the partner network is: VTN/VCash

What if my transaction is canceled?

We will notify you if your transaction cannot be picked up, and your payment will be refunded.

Nigeria Bonus Promotion

What is the promotion?

The Central Bank of Nigeria announced a promotion offering a bonus of 5 Naira (NGN) for every 1 US Dollar (USD) sent to a recipient in Nigeria. The promotion began on March 8, 2021, and will remain in effect until further notice.

How does the promotion work?

For every $1 sent that is paid out successfully, your recipient will receive 5 Naira at the time of pickup, in addition to the money you send.

BOSS Revolution transactions can be picked up at any branch of the following participating banks:

  • Access Bank
  • Zenith Bank
  • United Bank for Africa
  • Polaris Bank
  • Fidelity Bank
  • GTBank (Guaranty Trust Bank)
  • FCMB (First City Monument Bank)

Additional banks in Nigeria will be added soon.

Remember, the recipient does not need an account at the bank in order to pick up funds.

Is there a limit on the send amount to receive the Naira promotion?

No, there is no limit on the send amount. There is also no limit on the number of transactions that you can send to take advantage of this promotion.

When does the promotion end?

The promotion began on Monday, March 8, 2021, and according to the Central Bank of Nigeria, it will remain in effect until further notice.

Do I have to apply for the promotion or fill out any special paperwork?

The bonus will be paid at the bank automatically when the USD funds that you sent are paid out to your designated recipient. The sender does not have to do anything more than submit the transaction. The bank in Nigeria will take care of the bonus payout.

Haiti: MonCash Mobile Wallet

What are the requirements for sending a money transfer to my recipient's MonCash mobile wallet?

In order to receive international money transfers, your recipient must have a MonCash Full Wallet account. You can send up to 75,000 HTG per transaction.

Please note that a MonCash Mini Wallet cannot receive international money transfers. If your recipient has this type of MonCash mobile wallet, they will need to register for a Full Wallet account.

More information about MonCash mobile wallets can be found on the MonCash website.

How can my recipient get a MonCash Full Wallet account?

Your recipient should contact the Digicel store in their area for specific instructions, but the general process would be for your recipient to complete a registration form and provide copies of a valid ID. This is to comply with government regulations.

Digicel does not charge a fee for opening a Full Wallet account.

More information about MonCash mobile wallets can be found on the MonCash website.

I have sent money to my recipient's MonCash mobile wallet, but they are unable to access or use the funds. What do they need to do?

MonCash customer support agents are contacting customers who have received international money transfers and need to complete the registration or upgrade process. This registration or upgrade is required before your recipient can access the money you sent.

1) If your recipient has not been contacted, ask them to check if they have received an SMS from MonCash that includes a link to the online registration form (the link is bit.ly/MonCashFW).

2) Your recipient will need to complete the online registration form at bit.ly/MonCashFW and upload a valid ID (Driver License, Passport or National ID). The ID can also be emailed to Moncash_FW_KYC@prismco.com.

3) MonCash will review the registration form and send your recipient an SMS containing a one-time passcode (OTP) and a MonCash phone number to call. Your recipient must be reachable at the phone number associated with the transaction.

4) The recipient will need to call the phone number and provide the MonCash agent with the one-time passcode to verify that they have the phone associated with the transaction.

5) The agent will complete the registration process with your recipient on the phone. In one to five business days, the funds will be available, and your recipient will be able to receive any future money transfers.

My recipient has a MonCash Full Wallet, but they are still unable to access the funds I sent. What do they need to do?

Please make sure your recipient has authorized MonCash's remittance partner in Haiti (PRIZM Transfer) to deposit the money into their Full Wallet.

Your recipient can do this over the phone or directly from the MonCash app. The authorization process only needs to be completed once. Please refer to the MonCash website for instructions.
