How long does a stablecoin bank transfer take in Nigeria or Ghana?

Bank settlements complete in 5 to 30 minutes after you confirm the cash-out. The deposit has to settle first: immediately for USDC on Base, a few minutes from another supported chain, and 30-50 seconds for USDT to convert to spendable USDC.

What are the fees for converting USDC to Naira or Cedi?

For Ghanaian Cedi a platform fee is deducted from the local amount after conversion, with the rate executed live at settlement. For Nigerian Naira there is no separate fee: the margin is built into the exchange rate, which is locked when the order is created. Both are shown before you confirm, and conversions originating on Base are gasless.

Can I receive Ghanaian Cedi on mobile money instead of a bank account?

Yes. Ghana supports both mobile money wallets and bank accounts for GHS payouts. Nigeria settles NGN to bank accounts.

What is the minimum and maximum I can cash out?

Any off-ramp order runs from 0.50 USDC to 50,000 USDC. Ghana payouts are limited to GHS 5 through GHS 5,000 per order.

Which tokens and chains does Minisend accept?

USDC from 19 EVM chains and USDT from 14, to a single 0x address that is the same on every one of them. Whichever token you send, Minisend credits your balance as spendable USDC before payout.

What happens if I do not pay an order in time?

It expires and costs you nothing. Orders stay open for 30 minutes for GHS and about 5 minutes for NGN, because the Naira rate is locked at creation and cannot be held open as long.

Turn stablecoins into Naira or Cedi in your bank account

If you get paid in USDC or USDT and need local currency in Nigeria or Ghana, Minisend converts your stablecoins and settles directly to a bank account. Send to your Minisend address from any supported chain, choose to cash out, and the funds arrive as a bank transfer. No exchange account, no bridging, no P2P middleman.

What you need

A Minisend account: open the app at app.minisend.xyz, use it inside the Base app, or open the Farcaster miniapp.
USDC or USDT on any supported EVM chain.
Your bank account details for Nigeria (NGN) or Ghana (GHS).

Step by step

Open Minisend and copy your deposit address. One 0x address works across every supported chain. Tap Deposit or scan the QR code from another wallet.
Send USDC or USDT from any chain. Minisend routes the deposit automatically and credits spendable USDC to your balance in about a minute. A confirmation email follows.
Choose to cash out to your bank. Select your country, Nigeria or Ghana, and enter your bank account details and the amount.
Review the live rate and confirm. The real-time exchange rate in Naira or Cedi is shown before you confirm, so there are no surprises.
Receive the bank transfer. Bank settlements typically complete in 5 to 30 minutes.

Which chains and tokens are supported?

The same 0x address accepts USDC across 19 EVM chains and USDT across 14 EVM chains, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and more. Send whichever token you hold, from whichever chain it's on; Minisend credits your balance as spendable USDC either way.

Timing and fees

Deposit credit: immediate for USDC on Base, a few minutes from another chain, and 30-50 seconds for USDT to convert to spendable USDC.
Bank transfer: 5 to 30 minutes after you confirm.
Order expiry: 30 minutes for GHS, about 5 minutes for NGN. An expired order costs nothing.

The fee model differs slightly by currency. For GHS, a platform fee is deducted from the local amount after conversion and the rate is executed live at settlement. For NGN, no separate fee is charged: the margin is built into the rate, and that rate is locked the moment the order is created. Either way the numbers are on screen before you confirm. Conversions originating on Base are gasless.

Amount limits

Any off-ramp order runs from 0.50 to 50,000 USDC. On the payout side, Ghana settles GHS 5 to GHS 5,000 per order. Nigeria has no separate published band beyond the USDC order limits.

Ghana also pays out to mobile money

Ghana is not bank-only. You can settle GHS to a mobile money wallet or a bank account, whichever the recipient prefers. Nigeria settles to bank accounts in NGN.

Cashing out in Kenya or Uganda instead?

Kenya settles to M-Pesa, Buy Goods tills, Paybill numbers, and bank accounts in KES, with M-Pesa payouts arriving in about 10 seconds. See how to cash out USDC to M-Pesa in Kenya. Uganda settles UGX to mobile money and bank accounts. See how to cash out USDC to mobile money in Uganda.
