In simple terms, all standard bank accounts in Nigeria are acceptable for withdrawals on Cowrywise. As we process payments in Naira, we currently only support transfers to Nigerian bank accounts.

You may wonder why we have this restriction in place. The reason is simple - we prioritize the safety of our customers' funds. By only allowing transfers to regular bank accounts, we can ensure that your funds are secure. Additionally, these bank accounts are usually linked to your BVN, providing us with the necessary validation for your account.
