Sending money home should not mean guessing.

The fee, the total and the status are on the screen every time, not quoted at a counter and discovered later.

WHY SEND WITH US

Priced up front, checked on the way, returned if it fails.

You see the fee before you send.

Every transaction carries a fee, and the amount plus the fee plus the total are on the confirm screen. corridor fees.

A phone number is enough.

We detect the mobile-money network from the number so you do not have to pick it, and we show you the registered name we get back before you confirm.

Nothing disappears.

Your balance is held the moment you send. If the payout fails or expires, it is returned to you automatically, without you asking.

BEFORE YOU SEND

The questions people ask, in the order they ask them.

How much can I send?

Your limit is set by your verification level, and we check the amount against it as you type.

What does it cost?

There is a fee on every transaction, and it is shown with the total before you confirm. Corridor pricing is above.

How fast does it arrive?

Mobile money is usually within minutes. Bank payouts are not instant, and you can check the status at any time.

What if I send it to the wrong number?

On mobile money we show you the registered name on that number before you confirm, so check it there. Recovering a payout that has already succeeded is not something we can do from the app, so the confirm screen is the moment that matters.

What if the payout fails?

Your balance is returned automatically. You do not have to ask.

Does the person receiving it need an account with 80eight?

No. They receive it on their mobile money wallet or in their bank account.

Which countries can I send to?

Only the corridors listed above. If it is not on the list, the rail is not live yet.
