Does Zendrun work in Benin City?

Errands can be posted here, but there are no runners in Benin City yet — the first are in Lagos and Ibadan. Anything posted waits on the board until a verified runner in the city takes it.

How far does one errand reach in Benin City?

25 km from the centre: Ring Road, New Benin, Uselu, Ugbowo and out along Sapele Road and Airport Road.

Can a runner shop at Oba Market for me?

Yes. The most they may spend is set by you and held in escrow before the errand goes live. They photograph the goods and the receipt, and are reimbursed at the handover code.

How do I start running errands in Benin City?

Verify your phone, your NIN with a liveness selfie and a bank account in your name. Being the first runner in a city means every errand posted there is yours to accept.

Benin City, Edo State

New Benin, Oba Market and the Edo secretariat

Ring Road at midday is not where anyone wants to spend an afternoon. Send a verified runner to the market, the counter or the office — they pay with their own money and escrow pays them back at the handover.

How sending someone works

1
Post and fund
Say what you need, the most the runner may spend, and a fee. That total is held from your wallet. Nothing goes live unfunded.
2
They run it
A verified runner accepts, checks in from the queue or the counter, and pays with their own money up to your ceiling.
3
Hand over
They show a 6-digit code; you type it into your phone. That releases the money — their spend back, plus the fee. Anything unused returns to you.

How it works in full Post one anyway

The errands people ask about most

Why a runner can be trusted with your money

Nobody can front a naira until they have passed phone, national ID with a liveness selfie, and a bank account in their own name. What they may spend is capped by how far through that they have gone — and by the ceiling you set on the errand.
