A day with TrustAm

One chat, from morning to night.

Get paid in the morning, book a plumber, pay them, send money home and see where it all went. Every step is a message in the same chat.

08:10 Get paid

Get paid into your own account number.

Open an account in the chat with your BVN or NIN. People pay you by bank transfer to your account number, and TrustAm tells you the moment it lands.

Your money is held by a CBN-licensed partner bank. TrustAm is not a bank.

Protection

Your money is safe, and so is every booking.

  • PIN on a secure page

    Every payment needs your PIN, typed on a secure TrustAm page, never in the chat.

  • Held until the job is done

    Pay an artisan from your TrustAm account and the money is held in escrow at our partner bank until the job is done.

  • Freeze in one word

    Send “freeze”. Nothing can be sent until you unfreeze it, and your money is safe where it is. Unfreezing needs your PIN and a one-time code.

  • Held by a licensed bank

    Your account is issued and your money is held by a CBN-licensed partner bank. TrustAm is not a bank.

Questions

Before you say Hi.

What is TrustAm?

TrustAm puts the market and your bank in one WhatsApp chat. You get your own bank account, and you can find artisans across Nigeria, see their prices, book them and pay them from that account, by typing or sending a voice note.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Say Hi to +234 707 139 1073 on WhatsApp to start. There is also a TrustAm app for iPhone and Android if you prefer one.

Is TrustAm a bank?

No. Your account is issued and your money is held by a CBN-licensed partner bank. TrustAm gives you the account, the chat and the marketplace on top of it.

How do I open an account?

Say Hi on WhatsApp and follow three messages. You need your BVN or NIN. Your daily limit starts at ₦50,000 with just your phone number, ₦200,000 with your BVN or NIN, and ₦1,000,000 once you have verified both, done a face scan and uploaded an ID and proof of address.

When does the artisan get paid?

When you pay from your TrustAm account, the money is held in escrow at our partner bank and released to the artisan when the job is done.

How do I know a provider is good?

You see what each provider charges, and their work, before you book. Reviews can only be left by customers who paid through TrustAm, so every rating comes from a real job.

Does it cost anything?

Opening an account is free and transfers have ₦0 fees. Providers set their own prices, which you see before you pay.
