Where to see today's Vanilla rate, how to pick the right card type, and the six steps to naira in your bank on Yesa.
Today's Vanilla rates by card type are on the Vanilla gift card rate page, including what a $25 to $500 card pays. Vanilla cards are Visa or Mastercard prepaid gift cards, and the first four digits decide which type yours belongs to.
Choose Vanilla from the list of brands Yesa buys.
Vanilla types are split by country, by the first four digits of the card number, by value band, and by physical card or e-code. Each type has its own rate, so the right type is the one that matches your card.
The naira on screen is the card value times the rate for the type you pick, so pick the type that matches your card. Read the naira figure before you go further; the rate pages on this site show the same figures for comparison.
Upload a clear photo of the card showing the full number, or type the details for an e-code type.
The app confirms the submission and tells you the outcome, usually within minutes. A card that does not match the type you picked can be declined or priced differently, so check the type first.
The naira is credited to your Yesa balance once the card is confirmed. Withdraw to a Nigerian bank account, or use it for bills and airtime in the app.
Types name the first digits they accept, such as 4097, 4118 and 5253. Match your card's first four digits to the type.
Bands such as $25 to $99 and $100 to $399 have different rates. Pick the band your card's value sits in.
A physical Vanilla card pays more than a Vanilla e-code of the same value.
The rate page shows every Vanilla card type with today's figure, updated daily and refreshed live. The app shows the exact naira for your card before you submit. See the Vanilla rate page.
