How to Top Up Your GBP Account on Niobi Your Niobi GBP account allows you to hold British Pounds (GBP) for domestic payments to UK vendors, employee payroll, and cross-border transactions. Currently, the Niobi platform supports funding your GBP wallet exclusively through internal Currency Conversion using your existing multi-currency balances (such as USD or KES). Direct external bank deposits (such as local Faster Payments, Bacs, CHAPS, or external SWIFT wires) are not available at this time. Time to complete: 1–5 minutes. Before You Start Make sure you have: - An active Niobi account with the GBP currency wallet enabled. - An existing funded balance in another wallet on your Niobi dashboard (such as USD or KES) to convert from. - Completed your two-factor authentication (2FA) login. Step-by-Step Funding Method: Currency Conversion Since currency conversion is the exclusive method to add funds to your GBP balance, follow these direct platform workflows to complete your top-up. 1. Initiate the Process:\ Dashboard\ Log into your Niobi dashboard. From the main panel, click the Receive Payments button. 2) Select GBP:\ Currency Wallet\ A popup window will appear. Choose GBP from the currency dropdown menu to isolate British Pound funding options. 3. Select Currency Conversion:\ Funding Type\ From the available pathways, select Currency Conversion. You will be directed to a dedicated multi-currency exchange interface. 4) Choose Top Up My Account:\ Identify Intent\ The portal will ask for your primary target action. Select Top up my account (Convert currency and receive funds into your account). 5.
