Four things to check before a big sale

  1. The naira for the whole amount, before you confirm. On Yesa it is on your screen first. On the latest version of the app it is held on the confirm screen with a countdown; if the market moves too far, you see a fresh figure before anything is sold.
  2. The network. Send only on a network the deposit screen lists for that coin. A wrong network can lose the coins, and on a big amount that mistake is expensive. If you have not used the address before, send a small amount first.
  3. No buyer in the middle. With P2P, a big sale means trusting a stranger with a big transfer. On Yesa there is no buyer to wait for or argue with: your naira comes from Yesa at the figure you accepted.
  4. The fee on the sale. Yesa charges zero sell fees, so the naira figure on your screen is what your sale is worth.

Is it safe to sell a large amount on Yesa?

Yesa is an app built on regulated infrastructure: the naira you pay in goes to accounts at banks licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria, and payouts go out through licensed payment partners. Every connection is encrypted, passwords and PINs are stored scrambled, and money cannot leave your account without your transaction PIN.
