General voucher issues
Solution: check that your email address and phone number are correct on your Luno profile. Keep in mind that you'll need a Nigerian phone number to receive your voucher.
- Go to your Profile from the menu
- Select Settings
- You’ll see your Email and redacted Mobile number listed
Update your contact details by selecting either Email or Mobile number and following the instructions onscreen. Click on the link to get help updating your contact details.
Tip
You can send your voucher to yourself again by selecting the RESEND VOUCHER button on the Redeem your voucher screen.
If you need to resend your voucher for a deposit:
-
Open your NGN wallet and select DEPOSIT
-
Choose REDEEM VOUCHER
-
Select RESEND VOUCHER near the bottom of the screen
-
Your unredeemed deposit voucher will be re-sent to your email address and phone number
Note
You’ll only see the RESEND VOUCHER option if you have a voucher that hasn’t been redeemed yet.
If you don’t see that option, it likely means that the voucher has already been redeemed or was cancelled. For cancelled vouchers, the funds will have been returned to either your bank account, if it was a deposit voucher.
Solution: Make sure you’re using version 7.26 (or higher) of the Luno app, and that your Luno account is verified Level 1 or above.
To see your mobile app version:
-
Go to Profile from the menu
-
Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen
-
If your version is not Luno 7.26.0 or higher, visit Google Play or the App Store to update
To see your verification level:
-
Go to Profile, then select Settings
-
There, you’ll see a Verification menu option with your verification level (this should state “Verified”)
-
If it says “Level 0 - Not verified”, select Verification and follow the onscreen instructions to verify your profile
Solution: you need to enter your voucher details on the Redeem your voucher screen.
To do this:
- Go to your NGN wallet
- Select DEPOSIT if you’re making a deposit
- Select the REDEEM VOUCHER button
Deposit issues
Solution: You’ll need to redeem your voucher to get the deposit into your NGN wallet.
The voucher gets created when you make your card payment or bank transfer, but you still need to redeem the voucher to fund your Luno account.
To redeem your voucher:
- Go to your NGN wallet, select DEPOSIT, then REDEEM VOUCHER
- You’ll now need to enter your voucher details. These will have been sent to you via email and SMS to your Luno email address and phone number
- Once you’ve entered all the voucher details correctly, select REDEEM VOUCHER
- Enter the six-digit code sent to you via SMS and email
- The funds will now appear in your NGN wallet
If you got an error screen stating "your deposit was refunded," it's because the deposit voucher wasn't funded by a bank account that matches your name. As mentioned in our Terms of Use, we don't allow deposits from a bank account other than your own (these are known as third-party deposits).
The money will be automatically returned to the bank account where it came from in 1-2 business days.
Solution: There are several reasons why this might’ve happened. The best thing to do is to simply try again. Make sure you’ve entered your bank or card details correctly, and that you have enough funds in your account to complete the transaction.
Solution: Close the app and try to make a deposit again. If you’re still not successful, get in touch with us so we can investigate the issue and help resolve it for you.
This can happen if your card is expired, the account associated with it is closed, or if you weren’t able to verify the card with a PIN.
Solution: Try a different card, or pay for the voucher by choosing the bank transfer option instead of a card payment.
Connection issues won’t affect the status of your voucher. You’ll just need to re-enter your voucher details and try again.
