| Fee structure | Jeroid credited ₦21,800 to the wallet after the test trade. It charged a ₦100 withdrawal fee, so ₦21,700 was sent to the researcher's bank account. | For this trade, Tbay showed an order amount of approximately ₦23,540.23 (18.6989097 points) and a settled amount of approximately ₦21,552.53 (17.12 points). That leaves a difference of approximately ₦1,987.70 (1.5789097 points). The order page did not clearly label this total difference as a fee, so we calculated it by comparing the order amount with the settled amount. It should not be treated as a standard Tbay charge. The transaction breakdown also showed a dispute deduction of approximately ₦697.13 (0.55376 points). Tbay gave the reason as “incorrect balance or local currency.” This was specific to the tested transaction and is not presented as a regular Tbay fee. |
