How to Fund Your GBP Wallet Instantly via Your Bank App

Here is the simple, step-by-step guide to funding your GBP wallet:

Step 1: Initiate the “Add Money” Request and Select Bank App

1. Go to Wallet: Log into your Yousend mobile app and view your main GBP Balance screen.
2. Select Add Money: Tap the “+ Add money” button on your dashboard .
3. Enter Amount: Input the exact amount of GBP you wish to add (e.g., 5,000 GBP).
4. Choose Payment Method: Select the “Pay by Bank app” option.

Step 2: Review and Select Your Bank

1. Review Summary: On the “Review details” screen, confirm the key details:
   • Amount to add: (e.g., 5,000 GBP)
   • Fee: Free (This is a major benefit!)
   • You will receive: The full amount (e.g., 5,000 GBP)
2. Pay Now: Tap the “Pay [Amount] GBP” button.
3. Select Bank: A screen will appear listing various UK banking apps (e.g., Monzo, Revolut, NatWest) powered by the payment provider (Volume). Select your personal UK banking app from this list.

Step 3: Authorize the Payment in Your Bank’s App

Yousend now temporarily hands off the transfer process to your secure banking app.

1. Redirect: You will be automatically redirected to your chosen UK bank’s mobile app (or prompted to log in).
2. Security Check: Your bank will likely require a biometric or PIN verification (e.g., Face ID or Fingerprint scan) to confirm the payment request.
3. Confirm Details: Your bank will display the payment details, showing the Amount, the Recipient (Yousend’s partner/e-wallet), and the payment Reference number.
4. Final Confirmation: Review and tap “Confirm” inside your bank’s app. This securely authorizes the payment using Open Banking.

Step 4: Final Confirmation and Wallet Credit

1. Return to Yousend: Once authorized by your bank, you will be automatically returned to the Yousend app.
2. Success Screen: A large checkmark and the message, “All done! We’ll take you back to Ethwallet [Yousend Wallet] so you can finish what you were doing.” will appear.
3. Speed: Since this uses instant bank transfer technology, your funds are typically credited to your Yousend GBP wallet instantly (or within minutes).

Your GBP is now loaded and ready to be used for your next fast international money transfer!
