-Register and Verify your Figur Account

The ability to shop globally is a necessity and a luxury today. Whether you’re looking to buy the latest fashion trends on international platforms, or seeking tech gadgets unavailable locally, the need to shop regardless of geographical boundaries is important. 

Sadly, this dream has been frustratingly out of reach for many Nigerians. The restrictions on international transactions using the Naira card have left countless shoppers unable to checkout items. 

Now, there’s Figur, a financial platform that’s bridging this gap and connecting Nigerian shoppers with the global marketplace. With Figur’s virtual Dollar card, all your international shopping experiences are now possible.

However, before you embark on your global shopping spree, you have to set up your Figur account correctly. This guide will walk you through how to register and verify your Figur account seamlessly. 

How to Register (Sign Up) & Verify Your Figur Account

Are you ready to start your journey with Figur and access their virtual Dollar card for international shopping? Here’s a step-by-step Guide on how to create and verify your Figur account.

Getting Started with Figur

To get started, you need to access the Figur platform. You have two options:

  1. Mobile App: Download & install the Figur mobile app from your device’s Play Store (for Android) or App Store (for iOS).
  2. Website: Open your web browser and navigate to https://figur.africa/

Choose the option that suits you best. Both platforms offer full functionality, so it’s a matter of personal preference.

Creating Your Figur Account

Now that you’re on the Figur platform, it’s time to create your account:

  1. Open the Figur app or website.
  2. Click on the “Sign Up” button at the top right corner of the page.
  3. Enter your details:
    • Email Address
    • Full Name
    • Phone Number
    • Create a strong password
  4. Read and accept the terms and conditions, and privacy policies.
  5. Click “Sign Up” to proceed.
  6. You’ll be prompted to choose a 4-digit transaction pin

Pro Tip: Double-check all information before submitting to avoid complications later in the verification process.

Verify Your Profile

This process is crucial for verifying your identity and ensuring platform security:

  1. Log in to your newly created Figur account.
  2. Navigate to the “Account” section.
  3. On the menu, click on verification
  4. You’ll be required to complete the following information, such as:
register your account
  • Verifying your BVN
  • Selfie Verification Status
  • Verifying your NIN
  • Verifying your address

BVN and NIN Verification

Verifying your Bank Verification Number (BVN) and National Identification Number (NIN) is a major step:

  1. If you don’t know your BVN, dial *565*0#  from your registered phone number.
  2. For your NIN, dial *346# or visit the NIMC website or an enrollment center.
  3. In the Figur app/website, find the BVN and NIN verification section.
  4. Enter your 11-digit BVN and your NIN.
  5. Double-check the numbers before submitting.

Figur will cross-reference this information to confirm your identity. This process is usually quick but can take up to 24-48 hours.

Waiting for Approval

After submitting all required information and documents, Figur will review your application:

  1. The process typically takes 1-2 business days.
  2. Keep an eye on your email and the Figur app for status updates.
  3. Respond promptly to any requests for additional information.
  4. Once approved, you’ll receive a notification via email or in the app.

If you haven’t heard anything after 3-5 business days, consider reaching out to Figur’s customer support for an update.
