Score breakdown
Each dimension is scored from our own tests and weighted into the overall score.
Verdict
Yesa eventually completed our $10 US Razer Gold trade and credited ₦10,990. The successful resubmission took four minutes, and the separate withdrawal took one minute. However, the initial 29-minute rejection and need to upload the same card again made the complete experience less straightforward. After the ₦40 deduction, ₦10,950 reached the bank.
Pros
- The successful resubmission completed in four minutes
- The bank withdrawal took one minute
- Support responded in six minutes and identified the platform-side problem
- KYC was approved during the test
- The platform lists bills and cryptocurrency services
Cons
- The first valid submission was rejected after 29 minutes
- The same card had to be uploaded twice
- A ₦40 deduction reduced the bank payment

How we tested Yesa
We tested Yesa on 16 September 2026 using a $10 US Razer Gold e-code. We followed our How We Review process by completing KYC, checking the rate, submitting the card and contacting support when the first attempt failed.
The first submission was made at 1:52 AM and rejected at 2:21 AM, a wait of 29 minutes. Support confirmed that the problem was on Yesa’s side and asked us to submit the same card again. We resubmitted it at 2:28 AM, and it was approved at 2:32 AM. The successful trade took four minutes and produced ₦10,990. The separate bank withdrawal took one minute, and ₦10,950 arrived after a ₦40 deduction.
Trading experience
Yesa required a BVN, NIN and selfie during KYC. The full verification process took about five minutes, and approval arrived in under one minute.
The main problem came after we submitted the card under the correct category. The first attempt remained under review for 29 minutes before it was rejected. In-app support responded in six minutes, confirmed that the issue came from the platform and asked us to repeat the same submission.
The second attempt completed in four minutes and credited ₦10,990. Withdrawing the money to the bank took one minute. The final bank amount was ₦10,950, so ₦40 was deducted after the trade payout. The quick resubmission does not erase the delay and rejection that occurred during the full test.
