Responsible provider
Stripe, Flutterwave & Nuvion
Payments and regulated money movement are provided by NestAbroad's licensed payment partners — Stripe, Flutterwave and Nuvion — selected by your country and currency. NestAbroad is not a bank or payment institution and never stores your card or bank credentials. Where a protected-funds arrangement is legally approved for your route, the partner — not NestAbroad — holds and releases funds.
Questions about local-currency payment
Which currencies are supported?
You can pay by card and wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay) in 130+ currencies, and by local methods — bank transfer, USSD and mobile money — in supported markets such as Nigeria (NGN), Kenya (KES) and Ghana (GHS). Your available options and currency are shown before checkout, and we never advertise a route until a licensed partner has confirmed it.
How do I see the status of a payment?
Every instalment shows a live status — pending, successful, failed, cancelled or expired — reconciled against your schedule with an authoritative check with the payment partner. You get a receipt for each successful payment and a full history you can review any time.
Does NestAbroad hold my money?
No. A licensed partner accepts and moves the money. Where a protected-funds arrangement is legally approved, the partner holds and releases funds, not NestAbroad.
