How the Roam Referral Program Works + When You Get Your Money :moneybag:

Getting paid to share Roam just got real! With our new Referral Program, every time your friends use Roam to receive money, you earn commission automatically — and they can get a $2 bonus too. No stress, no chasing.

How It Works

  1. Your Roam username = your referral code. Just share it.

  2. Your friend signs up with your username.

  3. Once they verify their account and start using Roam, you’re good.

  4. Every time they make a qualifying deposit, you earn 20% (or 30% if you’re an influencer) of the deposit fee — straight into your Roam balance instantly.



What You & Your Friends Get

  • You (Referrer): 20% commission on every qualifying deposit your direct referrals make (recurring, not just once).

  • Your Friend: $2 bonus when they do either:

• Convert $1,000+ to Naira/XAF/XOF within 60 days, OR
• Send a USD transfer with fee above $2 within 60 days.

Example:
Friend deposits $500 (fee $5) → You instantly get $1 (20%). If they do this every day, you keep earning every day.

Important Things You Should Know

  • You only earn from people you personally refer (no chain/MLM).

  • Commissions start only when they make a deposit with fee of at least $1.

  • To keep earning, stay active: at least 1 paid transaction + 2 deposits in the last 30 days.

  • Everything is automatic — you don’t need to claim anything.



Why am I not seeing my commission/bonus yet?
It is usually because one of these "Qualifying Action" hasn't been met:
• The person you referred hasn’t made a deposit with a fee yet (or the fee was under $1).

• For their $2 bonus (and sometimes the very first commission), they still need to hit the qualifying activity: Convert $1,000+ USD or send a USD transfer with fee > $2.

Exact Steps in the App:

  1. Open your Roam app

  2. Tap “Convert” or “Send” at the bottom

  3. Choose USD → Naira (or XAF/XOF) for conversion OR Choose “Send USD” → enter amount & recipient

  4. Make sure the fee shows at least $2 if you’re sending, or keep converting until total hits $1,000+

  5. Complete the transaction



As soon as it goes through, both your $2 bonus and referrer's commission will be added instantly to your accounts. You can check your transaction history — it shows as “REFERRAL_COMMISSION”.
