You need money to start trading, therefore you have to fund your account with at less N1000 (if you’re a Nigerian). I personally would prefer my account 100% verified before proceeding on the funding account, because an unverified account can’t deposit using the card payment option until the account is verified.

But notwithstanding, the steps below will show you how to fund a Trove account and start trading instantly.

How to Fund Trove Account with Trove App

Step 1: Make sure that you are in your account dashboard already. If you’re making use of the app, you should see the “ADD FUND” link with a forward arrow.

Step 2: Select your preferred funding method (either Bank Transfer or Card Payment).

Select any method you prefer and click on the “Proceed” button.

Step 3: In no time – you should see your account credited if your account is already verified.

Conclusion

Before even thinking of funding your account ensure that your account profile is 100% complete.

To confirm this, I prefer using the app, go to your Menu bar (the three-line) – then select account settings – then under the profile information select the profile details. You will see how many per cent completion your account is, and a green-good is ticked on any completed stage.

Funding account might take time to reflect in your account especially if your account is not verified yet.
