KYC Tiers and Payout Limits, Country by Country

Every payout ceiling you'll hit comes from one of two places: our own risk tiers, or your wallet's regulator-mandated KYC tier. Knowing which is which tells you exactly what to upload to unblock a bigger trade.

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.
