Trading experience
Pandar asked for BVN, NIN and proof of address during KYC, but the verification was approved immediately. Once the account was ready, the gift card flow was easy to follow.
The app displayed ₦1,130 per $1, which gave our $20 card a value of ₦22,600. The card was processed in one minute, and the full amount entered the wallet. Withdrawing to a bank account took another minute, although Pandar charged ₦150 for the withdrawal.
