The wallet and how money is shown

What it is

Your wallet shows the cash you carry. You can see it at the top of the screen and in Phone → Bank, along with your net worth. Net worth includes your wallet, savings and bonds, land, businesses, trailers, buses, cars, furniture and the Property Fund.

How to read amounts

  • Full amounts use commas, such as ₦12,500.
  • Short amounts on cards and in the top bar are rounded: ₦12,000 appears as ₦12k; ₦1.2 million as ₦1.2m; ₦12 million as ₦12m. Billions and trillions follow the same pattern: ₦3.5bn or ₦3tn, and ₦2.5tn or ₦10tn.
  • Money in chat and Money history appears as a full amount. A sender’s note appears separately in quotes.
  • When you enter an amount, you can use formats such as “250k”, “₦1.2m”, “1.2 million”, “2 bn” or “250,000”. Only the first amount you enter counts.

Rules & numbers

Your starting cash depends on your first home and birth lottery:

  • Nepo baby (1 in 5): ₦500,000, a Prado, a Lekki flat with the rent paid, and a job through Daddy.
  • LAPO start: your home’s starting cash plus a ₦60,000 LAPO loan.
  • Student start: ₦14,000 plus ₦3,000 every Monday, with no loan.

Tips

Tap the money in the top bar, or go to Phone → Bank → Top up wallet, to open the top-up sheet.
