🛠️ Dealing with deposit issues

Most deposit issues are resolved by waiting 15 minutes after the money was deducted or by performing basic troubleshooting.

  • If the issue persists, please check the following:

    • ⚙️ Make sure you are using a phone number from a supported country.

    • ⚙️ Confirm that the selected mobile operator provides an active mobile money service in your country.

    • ⚙️ Ensure your internet connection is stable while sending the payment.

    • ⚙️ Your mobile wallet may have transaction limits based on your country or verification level. If the limit is reached, use an alternative payment method until it resets.

  • If you did not receive the payment SMS:

    • ⚙️ Check your network coverage and confirm the phone number is correct.

    • ⚙️ Ensure you have sufficient balance to receive SMS messages, as some providers may charge a small fee.

    • ⚙️ On dual-SIM phones, temporarily disable the other SIM.

    • ⚙️ Contact your mobile operator to use a USSD code for completing the transaction

If the funds were deducted but are not showing in your trading balance after 15 minutes, you can submit a checking request via the chatbot.
