For freelancers and businesses in Africa, accessing global funds can be difficult. Eversend is a multi-currency wallet that allows you to hold USD, EUR, and GBP, and exchange them instantly to mobile money. Here is how to link it with Lumen Pay.
Step 1: Get Your Eversend Account Details
Open the Eversend app, navigate to "Add Money," and select "US Bank Account." You will be provided with an ACH routing number and account number.
Step 2: Add Settlement Account in Lumen Pay
Log in to your Lumen Pay dashboard. Go to Settings > Payouts > Add Bank Account. Select "United States" as the country (since Eversend provides US details) and enter the routing and account numbers.
Step 3: Verify Micro-deposits
Lumen Pay will send two small deposits (e.g., $0.01 and $0.02) to your Eversend account within 1-2 business days. Once received, enter these amounts in the Lumen Pay dashboard to verify ownership.
Step 4: Withdraw to Mobile Money
Once verified, your Lumen Pay payouts will land in your Eversend USD wallet. From there, you can use the Eversend "Exchange" feature to convert USD to your local currency (e.g., UGX, KES, GHS) and withdraw directly to your Mobile Money wallet instantly.
This workflow bypasses slow SWIFT transfers and high bank fees, giving you faster access to your hard-earned revenue.
