How it works

One account, one wallet, one reputation — six ways to earn.

NewsTrade merges NewsTrade and TradexMarket into a single platform where every action in one hub creates paid work in another.

  1. STEP 1
    Join and verify once

    Sign up free with an email or phone code. Verify your BVN or NIN and bank account (KYC T1) to start earning everywhere.

  2. STEP 2
    Pick your streams

    Report stories, verify claims, take tasks, join a squad, sell in Deals, answer paid polls, or learn a skill that unlocks better work.

  3. STEP 3
    Money moves through escrow

    Clients and buyers pay first via Flutterwave. Funds sit in escrow on a double-entry ledger until work is approved.

  4. STEP 4
    Splits settle instantly

    On approval, one balanced ledger entry pays you, your squad, the lead and the platform — by published rules.

  5. STEP 5
    Withdraw to your bank

    Payouts run twice a day via Flutterwave Transfers; instant payouts available. Every naira is reconciled nightly.
