Getting Started
Signing up takes a few minutes, on the web or entirely inside WhatsApp. Here is what to expect.
You need an invite code
Arcle is opening gradually, so a new account needs an invite code from someone already on Arcle. Each member gets their own code to share. Ask a friend who uses Arcle for theirs.
On the web or in the app
- 1Enter your invite code
On the sign-up page at arcle.xyz.
- 2Verify your email
We send a 6-digit code to your inbox. Enter it to confirm the address is yours.
- 3Choose your country
This sets your local currency (₦ for Nigeria) and what you can do locally.
- 4Pick your @username
Your payment name — people can pay you by @username instead of an account number.
- 5Create your 4-digit Arcle PIN
You'll use it to approve payments when biometrics aren't available. Never share it.
- 6Add Face ID or fingerprint (optional)
Your phone's biometrics become the fastest way to approve payments. If the prompt doesn't work on your device, choose Finish with PIN for now — you can add biometrics later and nothing is lost.
- 7Start chatting
Your account and your digital-dollar wallet are ready. Try “what can you do?”
On WhatsApp
Message the Arcle number and say create. Arcle walks you through the same steps in the chat — invite code, email (optional on WhatsApp, but it's how you recover the account if you lose the number), username, country, and your PIN. No browser needed. See Arcle on WhatsApp.
Your first things to try
Agent modes
The selector at the top of the chat focuses Arcle on one kind of task. You don't have to use it — the default Arcle mode handles everything.
