How to add money

Written by Calen Support

Need to get money into your Calen wallet, so you can send it on or just keep it ready? Some wallets have receiving details, while others can be funded by converting money you already hold. Here's how to find them and add money.

Here's how

  1. Sign in to the Calen app, or go to https://calen.finance.

  2. Open the wallet you want to top up and check the receiving options available.

  3. If receiving details are available, copy them or share them with the person paying you. Check which currency will be credited before sending.

  4. Send money to those details from your bank, or ask someone else to. Use the name and method shown for that wallet.

  5. Watch Activity. You'll see the deposit appear, sometimes first as pending, then as settled.

A few details by currency

Nigerian naira (NGN). We'll show you a Nigerian account number.

Send naira from your bank to those details, using the name we show you. Money usually arrives in seconds to minutes once the sending bank has sent it. If you're setting up a naira wallet, we may ask for a BVN first.

US dollars (USD) and Canadian dollars (CAD). Copy the receiving details on the screen.

For USD, that can include details for ACH, FedNow or a domestic wire, depending on what's shown on your account. For CAD, you'll see Interac details. Incoming Interac deposits usually arrive within minutes once the transfer has been sent and accepted.

USDC and USDT. Copy the deposit address, and the network we show in the app.

Send only the matching token, on that network. A payment on the wrong network can be hard to get back. Deposits often take a few minutes.

Good to know: Your receiving details, such as the account name and number, Interac details, or a deposit address and network, are there so other people can send you money. On their own, they shouldn't let someone take money out. Still, only share them with people you actually want to be paid by, and never send your password, PIN or codes in the same conversation.

Quick tip: Use the method that's actually listed for your account. If a method isn't there, it isn't available to you yet.
