Why Unik Hands

Trust the people you let into your home

Finding reliable help in Nigeria usually depends on word of mouth. Unik Hands checks identity, address and guarantors first, so you can focus on finding the right person.

  • Checked before they apply

    BVN and NIN are checked with Korapay, a recent address document and a selfie are reviewed by our team (with AI assistance), and two guarantors confirm online.

  • You choose who to hire

    Post a job with the hours, location and salary, and say whether it is live-in or live-out. Review verified applicants, message them and interview them in the app.

  • Salaries with a record

    Pay your staff's salary from your wallet straight to theirs, with a record of every payment.

  • Clear records if things go wrong

    Queries, resignations and termination requests are recorded in the app, and our team can mediate.

Prices in naira. Fees can change; the app shows the current fee before you confirm a payment. The verification fee is paid by bank transfer to an account we give you. Plans are paid from your Unik Hands wallet (provided by 9PSB, opened once your verification is approved) or by bank transfer. On Premium Employer, staff you hire through your own job posts are regular placements, without the Premium placement benefits. Questions about fees? Read the FAQ.

Example scenarios

Common situations we help with

These are typical situations, not customer reviews.

  • Your nanny is leaving next month

    Post a job with the children's ages, the hours and whether it is live-in or live-out. Verified nannies apply, you interview them in the app, and the handover can start before your current nanny leaves.

    Hiring a nanny

  • You need a driver for the school run

    List your routes and hours. Every applicant's identity and guarantors are already checked; you check the licence and take a test drive on your own routes before you decide.

    Hiring a driver

  • You want salaries paid on time, with records

    Fund your wallet by bank transfer and pay your staff's salary from your wallet straight to theirs. Both of you can see a record of every payment.
