Why use Cardtonic Transfers

No Account Numbers

Forget long strings of digits and bank names. All you need is your recipient's Cardtonic username and the money finds them.

Any Wallet You Hold

Send from your Naira, Cedis, Shillings, Rand or USD wallet. Whichever balance suits, that is the one you send from.

Straight Into Their Wallet

Your recipient gets the money in their Cardtonic wallet, ready to spend, convert or withdraw. No withdrawal step in between.

Across Our Markets

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to send money to another Cardtonic user?

You only need the recipient's Cardtonic username. Enter the username, input the amount you want to send, review the transaction, and confirm the transfer.

Can I send money to someone who isn't on Cardtonic?

No. In-App Transfers are only available between Cardtonic users. The recipient will need to create a Cardtonic account before you can send them money.

Transfers are processed immediately and generally cannot be cancelled once completed. Always confirm the recipient's details and amount before confirming the transfer.

What happens if I send money to the wrong username?
