Love the look and feel. Works fast. Verification is through so it could take a sec but that in my opinion means more security which is awesome.

Very convenient and easy to use service. Plus the customer service was super when I contacted them.

A valid ID
If you’re picking up cash in Nigeria and are asked for information about the money transfer provider, please provide the name of our partner, Cashpot Limited (Afripay)

At AiDEMONEY, we understand how important it is for your money transfer to arrive quickly. However, recent policy changes have caused delays in money remittances to Nigeria. If you have a question about the status of your transfer, please email our team at support@AiDEMONEY.com. We’re here to help.

Why is my transfer on hold?

AiDEMONEY’s platform uses robust security processes to keep our customers safe and our community 100% fraud-free. If you’re a first-time user, your account may be placed on a brief hold while we verify all the information you’ve provided about both yourself and your recipient. Once the process is complete, the hold will be lifted and your transfer will be initiated.

If you’re not a first-time user and your transfer has been placed on hold, this means that we’ve identified a concern during our compliance and regtech reviews. Sometimes, this could be due to a mismatch between the name of the sender and bank account holder. Other reasons for a “hold” include initiating a transfer with an IP address not located in a state supported by our platform; a failed balance check for the amount you’re sending; potential fraud; and other security red flags that require further review.

Have a question about a transfer marked “on hold?” We’re here to help. Please contact us for more information.
