You can also make a bid for the $ that others want to sell or buy. The app gives you real-time ₦/$ rates so you are able to have a basis for negotiating and getting the best deal. If you want to further negotiate rates the app provides you with a messaging feature to allow you chat with those who have made a bid for your request.

You will be presented with all the requests that have been made by other users. This is another route to buying or selling $. - You can view all your bids, both bids you have made and the bids that other users have made to your request. click on "Menu", then "View bids".
