How To Use Abeg App
Abeg is a peer-to-peer (P2P) social payments platform that lets you send or request money from another Abeg user without having to input any bank details. All you need is their Abeg tag to send them money and request funds from them.
The app was founded by three young men, Muheez Akanni, Michael Okoh, and Dare Adekoya, and is only available to Nigerians, for now. Funding an Abeg wallet requires a Bank Verification Number (BVN) and a local phone number linked to your account.
Although Abeg is similar to Cashapp, its founders hope it’ll break boring rules surrounding current fintech startups and change how regular people think about payment technology.
