To get started, open the Radius app and tap Deposit on the home screen. You will be taken to the Add Money screen, where you will see a unique account number for your wallet. Copy this account number and use it to initiate a transfer from your personal bank account or MoMo account. Once the transaction is processed, the funds will reflect in your Radius wallet, and you will be ready to make payments.

Note: Only send money from your personal bank account or MoMo account. Transfers from third-party accounts may not be accepted.
