The three WePesa tiers
- First trade — phone and e-mail only. Small ceiling, instant start.
- ID verified — a government ID plus a selfie check. This is the tier most sellers should reach on day one.
- Hub / pro — full KYB for traders and businesses, with negotiated limits, API access and better rates.
What each market asks for
- Kenya — national ID; M-Pesa wallet tier sets the per-transaction cap.
- Nigeria — ID for mid tiers, BVN for the highest daily ceilings.
- Ghana — Ghana Card; MoMo KYC tier caps single transactions.
- Brazil — CPF, or CNPJ if you invoice as MEI.
- India — PAN and Aadhaar-linked UPI for higher limits.
- Mexico — CURP or RFC above MXN 150,000 per day.
Wallet caps are not our caps
When a mobile-money payout splits into two parts, that's your wallet's KYC tier, set by the telco under central-bank rules. We read the headroom before quoting and split rather than fail, so you still receive the full amount. Raising your wallet tier with the operator is usually a ten-minute errand at an agent.
Why the checks help you
Name resolution on every payout — MoMo, NUBAN, PIX key, CLABE, UPI ID — is the single most effective anti-scam control in this market. It's why "send it to my guy's account" fails here, and why sellers who get talked into paying a stranger's line on other platforms don't lose money on this one.
One ID upload usually lifts your daily ceiling by an order of magnitude.
