What is the NALA Wallet?

Learn about NALA’s wallets, eligibility, and how to use them to send money.

Introducing the NALA Wallet

The NALA Wallet lets you store money in your NALA app, so you can send when it suits you instead of making a bank transfer every time. Depending on where you live, you may have one or more of these wallets:

Main Wallet (GBP £ or EUR €)

The main wallet allows you to transfer funds from your bank account into the NALA wallet. This gives you the ability to initiate transactions at a time of your choosing. The Main wallet is available for £GBP and €EUR users.

Rewards Wallet.

The rewards wallet is linked to our Refer a Friend program. Once you refer a new user to NALA, and they register and send a transaction with us, both you and the person you referred are eligible for an award. This award will be deposited into your NALA Rewards wallet. Rewards are available for customers in all our sending countries (€EUR, £GBP and $USD users).

Note that rewards can only be used to send a transaction to a recipient of your choice.

Local currency wallets (KES, TZS, UGX)

For eligible customers in the UK and EU. Hold Kenyan, Tanzanian or Ugandan shillings alongside your main wallet, convert when the rate suits you, and send locally without converting every time.

Global Account (USD)

For customers in Tanzania. Receive, hold and send US dollars, and get US account details to get paid from abroad.

Where can I send money from my wallet?

From your main wallet you can send to any of our supported countries:

  • Africa: Cameroon 🇨🇲, Congo-Brazzaville 🇨🇬, Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮, Gabon 🇬🇦, Ghana 🇬🇭, Kenya 🇰🇪, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Rwanda 🇷🇼, Senegal 🇸🇳, South Africa 🇿🇦, Tanzania 🇹🇿 and Uganda 🇺🇬

  • Asia: Bangladesh 🇧🇩, India 🇮🇳, Pakistan 🇵🇰 and the Philippines 🇵🇭

No more bank transfers every time you want to send money home. The list of supported countries may change, so check the app for the latest.

How can the wallet help me budget?

You can top up once a month and send smaller amounts from what you've set aside. It's an easy way to stick to a budget and avoid overspending.
