It's easy, fast and free to open an account. Click “sign-up” on the homepage, fill out the form and log in, verify your account by uploading valid id, then you have to fund your account. Click deposit in the “funds” page and select a type of deposit you wish to make.

1) We do not accept credit or debit card payments – Unfortunately we do not offer the service to accept credit or debit card transactions. We may do so in the future when we can find a secure option.

2) Send money from your own bank account  – the name on the bank account or card that you pay from has to match your name on Jump.AFRICA.

P.S. Each user can only own one Jump.AFRICA profile unless otherwise explicitly permitted by our support team. 

3)  Sending your money  – to pay for your transfer you must make a deposit request and then make a bank transfer. This must be done every time you make a transfer.

4)  Account verification  – as a financial institution, we need to know who's making transfers with us. At some stage, sooner or later, your identity has to be verified on Jump.AFRICA.

5)  Use correct details in your profile  – when you set up your profile, please use your real, full name (no nicknames or initials), real address, real phone number and an email we can easily reach you on.

6)  No cash or cheque  – as a fully online business, we can’t accept or send out cash or cheques. You can only send money from a bank account to a bank account.

After you successfully funded your account, it is time to trade. Click “Trading Floor” in the main menu. There are two types of orders: instant and limit orders. Instant orders are very simple to use, but limit orders give you the power of setting the price you wish to pay or get for your Naira. It is up to you to decide which one to use. We recommend instant orders for people who would like to make a trade as soon as possible and limit orders to people who have experience in market trading.

When you place a limit order you decide what price you wish to pay or get. Your order will then be added to the order book and will be waiting for someone to accept it.

This is a common mistake in the markets and can cause great damage to your account balance and market volatility. If you try to commit an order with price greater or lower than 20% of the current market price, our system will ask you for additional confirmation. We will allow you to place any order, but you will be asked if you are sure you want to do that.

When you place a stop order you set an entry/exit price point. Once the price surpasses the predefined entry/exit point, the stop order becomes a market order. You can check the "Trailing stop" option if you wish to automatically track the bitcoin's price direction and reposition the active stop order.

Order book is a list of all open sell and buy orders at the moment. You can buy or sell Naira at those prices instantly.

The whole process should be completed within 1-4 working days. The time it takes depends on the currencies involved, the payment method you chose as well as bank holidays and weekends in both the sending and receiving countries.

Please keep in mind that we can only send or receive your money during regular banking hours. 

Also, please note that standard security checks may very occasionally affect the speed of your payment. As we are a regulated financial institution, we are required by law to carry these out. However, we always try our best to make sure they are as fast and as frustration-free as possible.

We cannot continue with your payment until these steps are completed. Though you will be notified either when creating a payment and/or by email when this is required, it is also possible to get at least the most common checks done ahead of time if you'd like. 

How the process generally works:

1)    Once your payment order is set up, it may take some time for us to receive your money. We can’t proceed with the process before we receive it. You will receive a text message and email when your funds have been received. -    Bank transfers take a maximum of 3 working days to reach us, depending on the currency.  -    SWIFT transfers take up to 5 working days to reach us -    SOFORT takes 1-2 banking days to reach us -    Bank debit (ACH) takes from 1 to 4 working days to reach us -    Wire transfer takes up to one working day to reach us

2)    Conversion of your money depends on your asking price, the more competitive your asking price, the quicker you will be able to exchange. You can always bid on the spot rate for an immediate exchange or buy currency at the available asking price on the platform.

3)    Once we send out your converted money via local bank transfer, it can take a few working days to reach your recipient, depending on the currency sent and the country it is being sent to.

No, unfortunately it will not be instant. It will certainly not be slow, though. Delivery time depends on the currency you send and may vary from a few business hours to a few business days from the moment a transfer is shown as complete on your account page.

If for any reason you need to cancel your transfer after sending your money to us, but before you have made a trade, you can make a withdrawal request from your funds page.

Once you've done this, you'll be prompted either to enter your refund account details, or if we already have these, you'll be asked to confirm these are correct.

You can make a trade on our trading floor once your account it fully active.
