How to Top Up Your UGX Account on Niobi Your Niobi UGX account allows you to hold Ugandan Shillings (UGX) for seamless business transactions with vendors, customers, and partners across Uganda. The Niobi platform supports funding your UGX wallet through three methods: an external Mobile Wallet Deposit (via an automated STK push notification sent directly to your phone), a traditional Bank Transfer to a dedicated virtual account, or an internal Currency Conversion using your existing multi-currency balances. Time to complete: 5–15 minutes depending on the selected method. \--- Before You Start Make sure you have: - An active Niobi account with the UGX currency wallet enabled. - An active mobile money account or a local Ugandan bank account. - An existing funded balance in another Niobi wallet (for Currency Conversion). - Completed your two-factor authentication (2FA) login. Step-by-Step Funding Methods Method 1: Mobile Wallet Deposit (Fastest) Niobi uses an automated STK push system to pull funds directly from your mobile wallet, requiring you only to authorize the transaction via your phone's PIN prompt. Niobi supports major mobile networks in Uganda: MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) and Airtel Money. - Dashboard - Initiate the Process: Log into your Niobi dashboard.
