You don’t need to top-up your Settle Account to make payments. You can link your payment card(s) issued in the EU, set it as the default funding source, and use it for the payments you do with Settle. 

• Enter your card details in our secure form.
• For extra security you need to validate your card using the method selected by your bank (3DS or other).

Make sure you send to the right person by listing your contacts in Settle.

• Visit the system access settings in your phone.
• Enable contacts access for Settle.

Now you are ready to make your first instant payment to a mobile number.

• Pick a contact.
• Enter the amount.
• Choose what card to charge.
• Slide to pay.

The money is sent instantly to your contact. If they don’t have Settle installed they will be invited to download Settle. In case the amount you sent is above a certain limit, the receiver will have to verify their identity before receiving the funds. If they don’t activate or verify their identity within 48 hours, the money is automatically returned to you. We will notify you if funds are not accepted.

The receiver will be able to transfer some or all of the money from their Settle Account to a local bank account (IBAN) for free.
