How to get started with PayChat

Download the app, register with your Nigerian mobile number, and set up your personal profile.

PayChat is designed to bring your conversations and money into one unified experience. During our pre-launch phase, you can explore interactive concept previews on this website. When the app launches on iOS and Android, registration will simply require your mobile number, standard identity verification, and creating your secure access PIN.

How do chat-first payments work?

Send and request funds directly inside active message threads without leaving the conversation.

Instead of switching between a messaging app and a banking application, PayChat embeds payments right into the chat thread. When you agree on an amount, tap Send or Request, confirm the details, and an illustrative payment card lands cleanly in the conversation with real-time status updates.

Splitting bills with friends and roommates

Divide lunch, utilities, or shared ride fares with transparent tracking for everyone involved.

With PayChat Split, you can initiate a shared bill inside any group or direct conversation. Enter the total amount, select participants, and each person receives their individual share breakdown. You can easily view who has settled their portion and what balance remains without awkward follow-up chats.

What is AURA and how do I build it?

A living visual identity that reflects your financial consistency and everyday habits.

AURA is PayChat's signature personal progression system. It is earned by showing up and using the app consistently—never by how much money you move or account balance size. As you maintain streaks, settle split bills responsibly, and track expenses, your AURA grows from a subtle Level 1 Ping ring into a vibrant, multi-layered halo.

How do Financial Streaks work?

Build momentum with daily check-ins, timely bill settlements, and mindful budgeting.

Streaks encourage positive financial habits over time. By checking your balances, categorising daily expenses, and addressing reminders consistently, you accumulate streak days that feed directly into your AURA growth and level progression.

Discovering businesses and local services

Find restaurants, fashion boutiques, tech repair hubs, and garden nurseries right in PayChat.

The 'Discover' feature in CHAT. PAY. DISCOVER. allows users to search verified businesses in their community. You can browse menus or product catalogues, start a direct customer chat, and pay without needing separate payment links or switching apps.

Account protection and security standards

Passcodes, biometric verification, and session safeguards to keep your finances secure.

Security is foundational to PayChat. We employ multi-factor authentication, end-to-end transport encryption, biometric access (Face ID / Fingerprint), and automated anomaly alerts. Never share your security PIN, OTP codes, or passwords with anyone, including individuals claiming to represent PayChat support.
Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding features, security, and pre-launch status.

No. AURA is strictly an illustrative personal habit-progression system reflecting consistency and in-app activity. It is not a credit bureau score, financial rating model, or regulatory financial ranking.
