How would you like to send money back home to your loved ones (in Africa) at your own preferred rates? Quite amazing, one must say. While this is not common, Kyshi allows you to do this for as low as $1.
Kyshi is a neo bank for Africans globally, allowing them to send money to about 20 African countries from around the globe. With Kyshi, you can send money to and fro Nigeria at rates you choose, the lowest possible cost, and in no time.
To get started on Kyshi, you need to create an account. Kyshi allows you to own a multi currency account, giving you the privilege of controlling multiple currencies from just one account. Below is a detailed guide on how to create an account on Kyshi so you can send and receive money abroad at your preferred rate.
Step 1- Download The Kyshi App
The first step is to download the Kyshi app from your respective device store. The app is available on Android and iOS devices.
Step 2: Begin With How You Got To Know About Kyshi
Once you have downloaded and launched the Kyshi app, the first thing to do after clicking on the “Sign Up” button is to select how you got to know about Kyshi (Google search, Social media channels, referrals, etc.). The “Referral” option allows you to input the referral code of whoever referred you to Kyshi.
Step 3: Enter Your Country Of Nationality and Residence
The next thing to do is to select your nationality and country of residence from the dropdown list of countries. Once you have found and selected your countries, you can then continue your sign up process by entering your mobile number (+234** for Nigeria, +41** for UK, and +1** for US.). It is important to note that the mobile number you input has to be the one from your country of residence.
After inputting your phone number, you will need to verify it through an OTP that will be sent to the number you provided. If you don’t get the OTP through an SMS, you can request it through WhatsApp, or change the phone number you provided.
If there is still no head way, you can contact Kyshi Support through the app for assistance and resume once you have verified your OTP.
Step 4- Enter Your Personal Data, Create Your Password, and Verify Your Email
The next step is to provide your basic information, including your First Name, Middle Name and Surname. You will also need to provide a valid email address and confirm that the names you provided are on a valid government issued ID.
Once you have quickly provided your basic information, you will have to enter an 8-character password that has capital and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Next, you confirm your password and verify your email address.
To verify your email, you will need to open your email and copy the OTP in the confirmation email to your Kyshi app. Once verified, you can proceed in your sign up process. Now we’re almost done.
Step 5- Complete Your Sign Up
This is the last phase of your sign up process. All you need to do is to input some more details about yourself, including your date of birth, postal code, gender, etc. Once you have done that you will need to provide one of these (based on the country of residence you chose):
BVN if you reside in Nigeria.
Residential address if you reside in the UK.
Social Security Number (SSN) if you live in the US.
Once you provide any of these, your account is all set up.
