Wallet Top-Up Guide

How to add funds to your wallet using bank transfer โ€” step by step.

Get Started Free

Overview

Your Urgent2K wallet holds the funds you use to repay loans and โ€” for lenders โ€” to disburse them. The recommended way to top up is through bank transfer via Flutterwave, which generates a temporary account number for each transaction.

Recommended flow:
Wallet Add Money Continue to Payment Bank Transfer Transfer exact amount
โš ๏ธ Do not send money directly to the dedicated account number shown on your wallet page. Always start from Add Money so a fresh temporary account is generated for that transaction.

1 Open your Wallet and tap Add Money

Navigate to your wallet from the dashboard. Tap the blue + Add Money button at the top of the wallet card. Do not use the dedicated account number shown lower on the screen โ€” that is for a different purpose.

๐Ÿ’ก Can't find your wallet? From the dashboard, look for the wallet balance card at the top, or use the navigation menu and tap Wallet.

2 Enter the amount

An Add Money to Wallet modal appears. Type the amount you want to deposit. The minimum top-up is โ‚ฆ100. Once you've entered the amount, tap Continue to Payment.

Enter the exact amount you intend to transfer. You'll need to match this exactly when you send the bank transfer โ€” a different amount can delay or fail the wallet credit.

3 Select Bank Transfer

The Flutterwave payment screen opens. Choose Bank Transfer from the list of payment methods. If the page opens on the Card screen first, tap Change payment method and then select Bank Transfer.

If the card screen opens first: Look for a Change payment method link โ€” usually near the top or bottom of the Flutterwave screen. Tap it to see all available options including Bank Transfer.

4 Copy the transfer details and complete the payment

A temporary bank account is generated specifically for this transaction. Copy the exact amount and account number shown, then switch to your banking app and complete the transfer before the timer expires.

Complete before the timer expires

The temporary account number is only valid for a short window. If it expires before you transfer, go back and start a new payment session โ€” a fresh account will be generated.

โœ…

Wallet credited automatically

Once your bank confirms the transfer, your Urgent2K wallet balance updates automatically. You don't need to do anything else.

Transfer Details Reference

Here's what you'll see on the transfer details screen and what each field means:

Field What it means
Bank Name Sterling Bank โ€” this is where you send the transfer
Beneficiary Urgent2K Wallet Deposit โ€” confirms it's the right account
Account Number Generated fresh for this transaction โ€” copy it exactly
Amount Transfer this exact amount โ€” no rounding, no approximation
Expiry Complete the transfer before this timer hits zero

Important Notes

๐Ÿšซ

Do not use the dedicated account number

The dedicated account shown on your wallet page is separate and not for manual top-ups via this flow. Always start from Add Money.

๐Ÿ”ข

Transfer the exact amount shown

Flutterwave matches transactions by exact amount. Sending โ‚ฆ1,001 when โ‚ฆ1,000 was requested can cause the wallet credit to fail or be delayed.

๐Ÿ”„

Expired details? Start a new session

If the timer expires before you complete the transfer, simply go back and tap Add Money again. A new temporary account number will be generated for a fresh session.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Transferred but wallet not credited?

Give it a few minutes โ€” bank confirmations can take up to 5 minutes. If your balance still hasn't updated after 10 minutes, use the Help option inside the app and include your transfer reference number.

FAQ

What is the minimum top-up amount?

โ‚ฆ100. There is no maximum, but very large transfers may take longer to confirm depending on your bank.

How long does it take for my wallet to be credited?

Usually within 1โ€“3 minutes of your bank confirming the transfer. During busy banking hours it can take up to 5 minutes. If it hasn't updated after 10 minutes, contact support via the Help option in the app.

I sent the wrong amount โ€” what happens?

If the amount doesn't match what was generated for that session, Flutterwave may not credit the transaction automatically. Contact support immediately with your bank reference number and the amount you sent.

Can I save the account number and reuse it?

No. Each session generates a unique temporary account number. Sending to an old account number from a previous session will not credit your wallet.

The page expired before I could transfer. Did I lose money?

No. If you didn't complete the bank transfer, no money left your account. Simply start a new Add Money session and generate a fresh set of transfer details.

Can I top up using card or USSD instead?

The Flutterwave payment screen also offers Card, USSD, and Apple Pay options. Bank Transfer is recommended because it has no card processing fees and works reliably for Nigerian bank accounts.
