Why AbegNa exists

It started with
₦800 for bus fare.

In 2019, a stranger paid our founder’s bus fare in Ibadan. AbegNa exists to connect people who need help with people willing to give it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a loan?

No. Help on AbegNa is a gift. There is no interest and no repayment.

What does AbegNa charge?

AbegNa takes no platform commission from the help you receive. A flat ₦100 fee applies when you withdraw your balance to your bank. Any payment-provider charges should be shown before you pay.

Do I need bank details to start a request?

Your request starts with your need, not your bank account. Bank details are needed when you are ready to withdraw money you have received.

Does phone verification prove a request is genuine?

No. Phone verification is a basic accountability check, not a guarantee that a story is true. Read requests carefully, give only what you are comfortable with, and report anything suspicious.
