How can I fund my baraka account: step-by-step process.

There are three main methods that you can use to fund your baraka account (see above). To start funding:

1. Open the 'Profile' page on the baraka app and select 'Deposit' (note that, depending on your country of residence, you will have access to different funding methods. As such, all the deposit methods that baraka offers may not be available in your country).
2. Choose your funding method (i.e. Apple Pay).
3. Once you select your funding method, you will be directed to a screen where you can enter the amount that you wish to deposit.
4. Once you have entered the deposit amount, click on ‘Add Funds’.

Let’s go into the details.

Depositing with Debit Card:

1. Scan your debit card and review the details to make sure the information is correct. If you want, you can store your card information, securely, for future deposits. Your card details are stored safely on Checkout.com.
2. Choose the currency to fund your account–we recommend selecting the currency that matches your bank account to avoid potential conversion fees charged by your bank.
3. Input the amount to be transferred and select ‘Add Funds’ and your deposit will be funded to your baraka account.

Please note you are required to scan the original debit card, as we do not accept copies, edits, or e-documents.
