Nope. Not necessarily. I've ordered various items with AliExpress Standard Shipping as the choice, and it most definitely always come through Speedaf for me.

Are you their agent?

I can't even withdraw my last $1 back to binance pay wallet

No.

...you must leave/hold at least $1 in your card after whatever amount you want to withdraw. If you're looking to get all your money off somehow, buy a $1 item and that takes your balance to $0.00

Nah, Gotok is about to become elite. Funding card with NGN is coming in latest update. Card works on all sites whose denomination for payment is in USD, and has a $100,000 Limit/month

plus, you can fund with crypto if you wish. For the smart guys, you take advantage of the volatility of the market (ie. sell a crypto for USD when it rises). You get more value for your money than just say funding with USDT, BUSD at a go in one point in time.

Joeyjones:
Does Google playstore now have a way to pay for items with our local card or is there a difference between in app purchase and Google play purchase or is Zenith bank still working for International purchases or can you pay for very low amounts?
I did a free trail for an app and I was surprised when I was deducted N51 for temporary charge by play store. I haven't tried large amounts yet.

Wrong thread to ask, but I'll answer you: You may pay for an item with local cards if the payment currency is in Naira (of which Google Play shows as).

I've not used my real local ATM card for in-app purchases, but I use GoMoney card (by Sterling Bank). GoMoney card holds in Naira and previously one could use it on AliExpress, albeit with the limit of $20 per month (*they did the conversion and the rate used to be 490/$).

Anyway, let me not divert. If you want to buy the premium version of an app (in-app purchase), a mini Google Play modal should popup and show you the value in Naira, and you should be able to pay with a Naira card since the denomination is in Naira (not sure if our local bank cards would permit, but I used GoMoney's virtual card and have paid for countless app purchases including game currencies from codm, apex mobile etc). The temporary charge means what it means — "temporary". It'll be refunded. Time frame? I don't know.

Klasha is the best now. I have used chipper cash and pocket app to make purchases on AliExpress and I can say that Klasha is the best.
Right now, Klasha rate is #751.11 with no transaction charges. Chipper cash #757.57 and Pocket app #785.2 are expensive right now. U can check out Klasha app using my link: https://s.klasha.com/YB1uxoKZJREqnPxU7

Even if I wanted to check it, I wouldn't use your link. Oga rest! U don over spam this thread.

I'm verified on binance but I am being asked to complete my verification before I can set up a Binance pay pin and binance pay Biometric authorisation or do I have to be verified plus before I can do that?

Thanks for the detailed explanation tho. Really appreciate it

As far as I know, complete verification of Binance account is once only. If you're referring to Gotok, yes you'll need to verify your Gotok account before you can create a card, fund it or even do any tangible thing in the app. (verification is with BVN or NIN. I'll advise you to use NIN)

[color=#770077][/color]I tried to send BUSD to the gotok wallet address provided but binance isn't giving any option for wallet address

you are not sending any crypto from anywhere to Gotok address. There is no Gotok address (*Gotok is not a crypto wallet).

Do this: Setup your Binance account fully (**Use the mobile app!), verify it, have any crypto in Binance account (preferably usdt, usdc, busd, bnb). Check in your Binance account for a service/option labelled "Binance Pay" and setup it completely (ie. watch a video how it works, create a simple pin to authorise Binance Pay transactions, turn on Biometric authentication too for easy transactions).

Once you've setup your Binance account fully (as described above), open Gotok and select Binance Pay as a funding source, input how much amount of $$$ you want to fund the card with, then proceed. It'll automatically create a Binance Pay QR-code and redirect straight to Binance to authorise the transaction. Type your Binance Pay pin (or use fingerprint authentication if you had set it up). The transaction will be verified and confirmed. You'll then see the $$$ on your Gotok card. That's all.

Gotten to this point.... how do I fund the card ...? Which option do I select and how do I go about it 🤔

Select Binance Pay if you have any crypto in your Binance account (it doesn't necessarily have to be usdt, busd or usdc)..... same applies for Solana Pay.

OR

Connect your Solana wallet which you have funds in, and go on.

Boss Good day,
Your tip on Aliexpress shopping is very helpful for bypassing the card limit, pls does using binance/crypto also make it cheaper than sourcing dollar through blackmarket means or via fintech.....

basically, not really but you get a fair chance because you'll be buying USDT, BUSD USDC or any crypto via P2P rates which is considerably lower than fintech app rates (eg. on chipper cash, the rate is currently about 780/$ but via P2P on Binance, you can get USDT, busd, usdc for 740/$ or less

I have verified my account

Please I don't have binance app or those app... should I download it.....How can I fund please help out...

As I explained in previous messages, if you don't know how crypto works in general, please ignore using Gotok or similar apps which fund cards with crypto. The process of funding the card on Gotok is easy and straightforward as just inputting numbers and clicking "ok". However, you need to take care of the part that has to do with having funds on your Binance account and knowing how to navigate different crypto things in general (for your own good). If it's too much to learn, I'll advise you to stick to regular virtual card services or Dom account.

Good morning, everyone. Please, what's this line haul stuff supposed to mean?

I've had my item at this stage since 31st January. I was expecting that by now, I would've gotten a call/email from speedaf to come and pick up my item. I'm experiencing thesame with another order I placed as well. This is the first time I'm seeing this kind of delivery update.

Secondly, is it normal for an item that has been shipped by the seller to not have a tracking information yet? Seller shipped one of the item I ordered on 31st January yet up till date I'm yet to receive a tracking information.

I see no issue. Typically, if you did your due research before ordering an item (ie. check reviews, number of items ordered/sold, the seller's profile, pictures from people who bought etc), you'll receive the item just fine. Unless you changed the shipping to DHL or any Express shipping services, don't expect to receive your item within a month (there are some rare cases). So if you choosed "free shipping" or "AliExpress standard shipping", give it 2 months max from the day you got the notification saying "item shipped!".

Moon Visa Prepaid Card is the best hands down! You can fund it with USDC directly from Coinbase (after linking your Coinbase account) and it has ZERO charges.

I have used it on Google play store previously but I just tested it for the first time today on AliExpress and it worked.

Nice! more services will go this route (ie. funding card with crypto). I don tire to open account with many traditional fiat virtual card services.

Hi, sorry no DMs. I meant, if you work in the crypto space in any position (developer, support, community moderator etc), very obviously your salary will be in crypto already and it's just for you to swap to usdc, usdt, busd etc and use to fund your virtual cards which supports them.

You’re right, the session answered all my questions about virtual card, I was cool with barter by fluttereaves before dey stopped, but I dunno if gotok for iOS is cool, would love to use it alongside my domiciliary account, but both are on a high side, buying usdt via p2p or bank card on binance u have to buy at black market rate same as funding your dom account.

yh, it works well on iOS. This route with Gotok is ideally for people who earn in crypto or receive payouts/salaries in a stablecoin already.

I installed it and verified my account in less than 5 minutes

I would not be surprised if the app devs are from Binance or somehow affiliated with Binance. Why I'm saying this is because of the sleekness and the overall app design. Personally, I think it is the best designed virtual card app. It doesn't feel like something developed by hungry, low-budget app developers like those of Kudiwave app.

Even the verification process is very straightforward and not stressful.

yh, the app is clean. I don't think they are directly affiliated with Binance, but they did an AMA with Binance Africa recently.

pls i am a novice how do i open biance pay?

Binance Pay is simply a service offered within your Binance account (it's not independent). As a friendly advice, if you don't know how crypto works, by all means please ignore this route I explained. Try to follow the conventional Nigerian Dom account or find a virtual USD card service with fair rate like most people do

I have no doubts, I have heard ppl talked about it, just wanted to be clear on the charges issue, can't I fund with usdt if I have it on exc other than binance?

They support Binance Pay & Solana Pay.

So if you don't have a Binance account, but you have a Solana wallet, send the USDT to your Solana wallet (be sure to select "SOL" as the network if you're sending it from another Exchange which supports it). Then open Gotok, and fund via Solana Pay. It'll ask you to connect your wallet (*don't import your private-keys). Just simply connect your Solana wallet and the usdt will be used in the conversion to USD which you'll get on the virtual card

Anyway, I'm not interested in Solana ecosystem so Binance Pay fits just well for me.

Technology Market › Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by TheUnknownOne: 2:05pm On Feb 03, 2023

pat077:
any hidden charges?

Nope, as far as I can see.

There is just a 1% fee for funding the card. So, if you want to load up $10 on the card via Binance Pay, it'll be 10.1 BUSD converted from your Binance account, and you get the $10 in the card instantly. If it's $200, that'll be 202 BUSD converted.

Daily funding limit is $5k
Monthly spending limit is $100k

Nothing like $20 limit here or Nigerian bank wahala or card declined. If it's too good to be true, go on Twitter and read reviews/tweets. Even the official Binance Africa page on Twitter advertised/endorsed it.
