Tired of stressful P2P trades, waiting for buyers, or worrying about scams when converting your stablecoins to Naira? Zedda makes it simple, fast, and secure.
With Zedda’s stablecoin swap feature, you can instantly exchange USDT or USDC for NGN at live market rates — all from one multi-currency wallet. No middlemen, no endless chats, and funds often hit your Nigerian bank account quickly.
Whether you’re a freelancer receiving international payments, a trader cashing out, or just need Naira for daily expenses, this guide walks you through the entire process in minutes.
Prerequisites Before You Start

- Complete your KYC verification (this is required for swaps and withdrawals to Nigerian banks).
- Have USDT or USDC in your Zedda wallet (or be ready to deposit them).

Pro Tip: Use low-fee networks like TRC20 (for USDT) or supported chains for USDC when depositing to keep costs minimal.
Step 1: Log In to Your Zedda Account
- Open the Zedda app on your phone (Android or iOS) or visit app.zedda.co on your browser.
- Enter your login details (email/phone and password) or use biometric login if enabled.

- USDT or USDC (whichever you hold).
