Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to write amounts in words?
Banks require amounts written in words on cheques as a security measure. It prevents alteration of the numeric amount and is legally binding in case of discrepancy.
What currencies are supported?
We support Nigerian Naira (NGN), Kenyan Shilling (KES), Ghanaian Cedi (GHS), South African Rand (ZAR), Egyptian Pound (EGP), US Dollar (USD), British Pound (GBP), and Euro (EUR).
How does it handle decimal amounts?
Decimals are automatically converted to the appropriate sub-unit. For example, 250,000.50 in Naira becomes "Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira, Fifty Kobo Only".
What is the maximum amount?
The converter handles amounts up to 999,999,999,999.99 (nearly one trillion), which covers virtually all practical cheque-writing needs.
Is the word "Only" added automatically?
Yes. The word "Only" is appended at the end, following standard cheque-writing conventions used across African and international banks.
