General

What is Vona?

Vona is an app for running a Nigerian household. It's a marketplace for booking ID-verified professionals — plumbers, electricians, generator technicians, and other trades — plus a set of everyday tools for the rest of home life: tracking your homes and assets, bills and subscriptions, family finances, the people who help run your household, your vehicles, and a document vault for the paperwork you actually need to keep.

Who is Vona for?

Any household that wants its day-to-day organized in one place — whether that's a single person managing their own apartment, or a larger household sharing an account across several members. It's also for the independent professionals who join the platform to find verified bookings.

Is Vona free to use?

Creating an account and using the core household tools is free. Some features require an active household subscription, billed through the app; booking a professional is paid per job, at the rate agreed for that booking.

When is Vona launching, and on what platforms?

Vona is currently in development. We're launching on iOS and Android at the same time — join the waitlist from the Download page and we'll email you the moment it's ready, no spam, just one email.

Households and accounts

Can more than one person use the same household account?

Yes. A household account has one owner and can include additional members. The owner can add or remove members; any member can see the household's shared data (homes, bills, finances, vehicles, documents) and the household's current subscription status.

Who can manage billing for a household?

Only the household's owner can purchase, change, or cancel the subscription. Every member can view the current plan and billing history.

What are estate/community groups?

Households in the same estate or neighborhood can join or create a community group together, and earn badges for milestones your household hits along the way. It's a structured feature — not open, free-text social media — and the same acceptable-use rules that apply everywhere else on Vona apply there too.

Booking a professional

How do I know a professional is legitimate?

Every professional profile completes an identity and trade-verification process before it can accept bookings — including a government-issued ID and trade credentials. Vona can decline, suspend, or revoke that verification at any time.

What happens after I book someone?

Booking a professional creates an agreement between your household and that professional for the job requested. You can message them directly in-app once the booking is confirmed, and a start-of-job PIN confirmation helps make sure the right person shows up. When the job is done, you can leave a review.

What if something goes wrong with a booking?

Report it at any time through the in-app reporting tool on that booking. Our Trust & Safety team reviews every report. Vona facilitates the booking but isn't the employer of professionals on the platform — they're independent contractors who set their own availability.

Payments and subscriptions

How does payment work?

Subscription and any in-app payments are processed through Paystack inside a secure checkout — Vona never stores your full card details on its own servers.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, at any time, if you're the household's owner. You can cancel immediately, which ends access right away, or let the current billing period run out and not renew — you choose which at the moment you cancel.

Does Vona take a cut of what I pay a professional?

Booking payments are agreed and settled for the job itself; subscription billing is separate, ordinary platform billing for access to Vona's features. Circumventing the booking or payment flow to avoid platform fees isn't permitted under our Terms of Service.

Privacy and your data

Can I get a copy of my data?

Yes. From Account → Privacy & Data in the app, you can request an export covering your profile, your household's homes, vehicles, and document titles and metadata, your bookings, badges, subscription status, and your most recent notifications — no need to email support and wait.

How do I delete my account?

From the same Account → Privacy & Data screen. Deleting your account revokes every active session, clears your name, email, and phone number from our systems, and closes your login for good. If you own a household with other members, we'll ask you to remove them or hand over ownership first, so their access isn't disrupted — deleting a solo household's owner account closes that household entirely, and deleting a member account simply frees that member's seat.

Does Vona sell my data or track me for ads?

No. We don't sell personal information, and the device token used for push notifications is only ever used to deliver your own account's notifications. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail on what we collect and why.
