Crypto ExchangesExchange profile

Roqqu exchange profile

Roqqu combines custodial crypto trading with payments, investment tools and merchant APIs. Its separate Web3 wallet, account restrictions and Nigeria complaint process require product-specific treatment.

Trading services, wallets and account tools

Sections ↑

Roqqu combines a custodial exchange account with payments and investment features. Its main retail workflow is to buy, sell or swap digital assets inside the account, then retain them or transfer them out. The website also promotes crypto-backed borrowing, scheduled investment bags and savings. Availability is expressed as supported markets, so the global website does not establish a uniform product menu for every country.[1]

Web3 walletA separate wallet for supported chains, tokens, NFTs and decentralized applications.Roqqu says the customer controls its keys. Its advertised token universe must not be treated as the exchange listing count.Source 3
Invest bagsChoose a curated asset basket, contribution amount, frequency and investment horizon.The page describes automated contributions and portfolio tracking; it does not publish a complete rebalancing or cancellation specification.Source 4
Crypto-backed loansUse eligible crypto as collateral to obtain a loan.The public overview does not establish a universal interest rate, loan-to-value ceiling or liquidation threshold. These remain loan-specific terms.Source 5
SavingsChoose an amount, duration and displayed return; the page describes daily accrual.It also advertises withdrawals at any time alongside locked savings. The selected plan must resolve early-exit conditions and reward treatment.Source 6
CardsSpend through a card funded from crypto and converted for payment.Issuer, conversion spread, card availability and withdrawal limits were not established from this overview.Source 7

The separate Invest product should be assessed as an ongoing instruction: closing the application is not evidence that a scheduled contribution has been canceled. The published description establishes scheduling, but not whether an already queued purchase can be stopped or how each device presents that instruction. No manager-following mandate or copy-trading loss allocation was established in this material.[4]

The risk statement discusses futures, leverage, margin calls and liquidation, while the tariff includes a futures charge. The reviewed public material does not supply a sufficiently detailed contract catalogue, expiry rules, funding schedule, leverage tiers or liquidation calculation to characterize a standard derivatives account. A stop instruction is not presented as a guaranteed execution price.[8]

For a hypothetical US$1,000-equivalent spot transaction, 2% is US$20-equivalent. This is the stated trading fee alone: it does not calculate the received crypto quantity, quote spread, price movement, bank charge or subsequent blockchain transfer. The comparison needs the final amount delivered on the selected route, rather than the headline commission by itself.[9]

Network estimationA network-fee endpoint returns an estimate. Bitcoin estimates use a transaction-size assumption and fee-rate inputs.Source 12
Fiat rate feedThe documented rate endpoint refreshes every minute. A reference feed is not a promise that a bank conversion executes at that exact value.Source 13

Fiat access, blockchain transfers and payment reconciliation

Sections ↑

Qash is the separate payment component of the wider Roqqu service. Its website describes transfers across supported markets and currencies. The public claims of more than 55 banking connections and five currencies describe that payment product; they do not establish that every exchange customer receives each bank route, holds every currency balance or can send unrestricted cross-border payments.[14]

The wallet product supports sending and receiving crypto, but an asset name alone does not identify a usable deposit route. The account must offer the required asset and network. Roqqu advertises account notifications and two-factor authentication; neither establishes a guaranteed completion time for a bank or blockchain withdrawal.[2]

Reference table04

Merchant transfer lifecycle

Merchant transfer lifecycle
StageWhat the documentation establishesWhat to reconcile
Submit a sendThe authenticated request specifies amount, token, network and destination. A successful response supplies a queue reference.Queued acceptance precedes blockchain confirmation; a later token_sent webhook reports the on-chain event.Source 15
Check the queueThe reference lookup returns the destination, asset, network, fee, processing information and transaction hash when present.Use the returned data record; the documentation warns that its success-message text can be malformed.Source 16
Complete the account ledgerThe history endpoint filters by account email, asset, direction, time and status.Before/after balances and timestamps support reconciliation, but a ledger entry alone does not prove final blockchain settlement.Source 17

These are merchant API mechanics, not a claim that the retail application exposes identical fields or error handling. The send documentation includes disabled-token, disabled-network and address/network mismatch responses. A merchant should distinguish a rejected request, an accepted queue item and a confirmed transaction before deciding whether to retry; blindly creating a new send can produce a second payment.[15]

Custody, security and recovery

Sections ↑

The general agreement permits custodial handling through affiliates or service partners and pooled arrangements. Exchange customers therefore depend on Roqqu and its custody arrangements to return account assets. The agreement does not establish that every customer has an individually segregated on-chain address or a proprietary claim insulated from every insolvency outcome.[18]

Roqqu’s 31 March 2026 risk statement expressly says platform assets lack deposit protection, insurance and investor-compensation cover. It also identifies insolvency, cyber incidents and operational failures as possible causes of loss. This is a more specific description than treating authentication features or the word wallet as financial protection.[8]

Reference table05

Account controls and their limits

Account controls and their limits
ControlEvidence and consequence
Password-change sending holdA 10 July 2024 company notice describes a mandatory 24-hour block on sending funds out after a password change. Trading and swaps remain available; notification is sent in-app and by email. This is a dated published rule, not a test of today’s account behavior.Source 19
Web3 key controlThe separate Web3 product says keys belong to the user. A custodial-account password reset should not be assumed to restore a lost Web3 recovery secret.Source 3
Personal-data and closure requestsThe privacy policy provides access, correction and portability rights. Closing an account marks it closed; legally necessary records can remain. Data deletion and release of trading funds are different processes.Source 20

The security notice directs suspected compromise to support immediately. Its 24-hour sending restriction does not freeze market exposure, because the same notice allows internal trading during that period. A customer assessing a compromised account must therefore consider remaining trading authority as well as the inability to withdraw.[19]

Customer eligibility and ongoing verification

Sections ↑

The general agreement requires adulthood or the applicable legal age, compliance with local restrictions and one permitted account. It allows access limits and restrictions to change. The public agreement does not establish a single current country list or universal retail verification limit that can safely be applied to all Roqqu customers.[18]

Reference table06

Verification scope

Verification scope
Customer or eventPublished requirement
Retail onboarding and monitoringIdentity verification, sanctions and politically exposed person screening, and risk-based requests for source-of-funds or wealth evidence. Verification can continue after onboarding.Source 21
Higher-risk activityEnhanced review and restrictions can follow suspicious activity or sanctions concerns. Ordinary verification is not a guarantee of immediate withdrawal approval.Source 21
RAS business onboardingCompany registration, address, shareholders, directors and authorized personnel must be documented. Further KYC/KYB requests can delay, suspend or end merchant access.Source 10

For ordinary customers, a privacy consent withdrawal does not waive legal recordkeeping or verification duties. The policy says retained data can be used to address fraud and legal obligations after closure, and provides [email protected] for rights requests. It does not publish a separate, fixed period after which an inactive account automatically becomes dormant or incurs a dormancy charge.[20]

Support, complaints and service disruption

Sections ↑

Roqqu publishes a Nigeria-specific complaint process dated 31 March 2026. An unresolved initial support issue can be escalated to [email protected] with the account identity, transaction dates, evidence and requested remedy. The process is free; a representative may act with authority. A complaint should be lodged within three months of discovering the issue, or when it reasonably should have been discovered.[22]

Reference table07

Nigeria complaint timetable

Nigeria complaint timetable
StepPublished target or route
Routine handlingMost complaints: 24 hours to three business days.
Final complaint responseTarget: ten business days; delays should be explained.
External escalationSEC, FCCPC or competent courts, according to the issue and applicable rights.

The general terms contain a separate arbitration route: after an unresolved support complaint has reached 30 days, a written Notice of Claim goes to [email protected]. A further 30-business-day negotiation period precedes arbitration under LACIAC rules in Lagos, in English. These legal steps must not be confused with the complaint policy’s ten-business-day response target.[18]

The risk statement recognizes outages, connectivity failures and delayed execution; it does not promise a telephone dealing desk or a manual route that preserves a missed price. A displayed price may cease to be executable, and a successful login is not evidence that a pending withdrawal or order has completed.[8]

Regulatory scope and legal status

Sections ↑

The SEC Nigeria fintech directory reviewed for this profile identifies named ARIP and incubation participants but did not identify Roqqu. That finding is limited to the directory inspected: it does not prove the absence of every authorization in every jurisdiction. A current Roqqu-specific exchange permission was not verified, so this profile does not convert references to compliance frameworks into a licensing claim.[23]

Roqqu’s AML policy states that compliance obligations are applied through relevant entities and jurisdictions. Its discussion of SEC rules and reporting is the company’s description of its compliance framework, not an independently verified firm entry. The applicable customer contract and the specific product remain essential to identifying the responsible operator.[21]

Operator, reach and business identity

Sections ↑

The current retail agreement names Roqqu Nigeria Limited.[18]

The separate merchant contract uses Roqqu Technologies and is dated 31 October 2024. It grants access for business integration under an order form; that contractual label should not silently replace the legal party named in the retail agreement.[10]

API authority and business integration

API authority and business integration
FeatureOperational meaning
AuthenticationThe documented secret key can perform unrestricted API requests. Test and production modes use different headers and keys. Treat live credentials as transaction authority.Source 24
IP controlAn endpoint adds permitted server addresses. Network restrictions supplement key protection; they do not replace careful custody of the key itself.Source 25
Buy operationAn authenticated buy uses USDT and records the operation in the ledger; it does not emit a buy webhook. Balances and history must confirm the result.Source 26
Swap operationThe parameter rules exclude USDT and direct USDT conversions to buy/sell. The sample request nevertheless contains USDT, so integrators should follow the stated restriction and resolve the inconsistency before production use.Source 27

Roqqu’s history API supplies transaction-level records, including amounts, asset, direction and balance changes. Its documented network filter is marked inapplicable. These records can support bookkeeping, but the reviewed documentation did not establish a retail CSV export, cost-basis method or tax certificate. Merchant records should be reconciled with blockchain references and bank statements.[17]

The API contract permits suspension and changes to endpoints or service access. A business can terminate on 30 days’ written notice before the current subscription ends, while immediate termination is possible in specified circumstances; outstanding fees survive. Stopping an integration is therefore distinct from closing the commercial relationship or resolving already accepted instructions.[10]

The published authentication model demonstrates programmatic execution power, not an autonomous investment mandate. No separately specified AI trading service, approval boundary or AI liability allocation was established in the reviewed API overview. A third-party application given a live secret receives the documented API authority regardless of how its interface is described.[28]

General promotion terms make eligibility and prize details campaign-specific. Prizes are non-transferable, may expire if unclaimed and are not redeemable for cash under those general terms. Gift-card rules can add further conditions. A prize, a promotional token and withdrawable account money should therefore not be presented as interchangeable benefits.[29]
