Banking in Your Language — English, Yoruba, Hausa & Igbo
Financial services should speak the language you think in.
Most financial apps in Nigeria speak one language, and it is not the one many customers use at home. InspireMe Pay supports English, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.
You can switch language inside the app at any time, and the menus, buttons and messages follow. Nothing about your account changes — only the language you read it in.
The voice assistant speaks the same four languages, so a customer who prefers to speak Hausa can transact in Hausa rather than translating a form in their head.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages does InspireMe Pay support?
The app supports English, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. You can switch between them at any time from the language setting, and the app's screens and messages follow your choice.
How do I change the language in the app?
Open Settings and use the language switcher to select English, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo. The change takes effect immediately and you can switch back whenever you want.
Does the voice assistant support Nigerian languages?
Yes. The voice assistant speaks and understands the same four languages, so you can give instructions and hear confirmations in the language you are most comfortable with.
Why does language support matter for a wallet?
Because money moves on details. A customer who understands every label is less likely to confirm the wrong amount, the wrong recipient or the wrong bill — and digital financial services become genuinely accessible rather than just available.
Does changing language change my account?
No. Only the language you read changes. Your wallet, balance, history, verification tier and settings all stay exactly as they were.
