Verification & KYC

Why do I need to verify my identity?

+

Identity verification (KYC) is required by financial regulations to prevent fraud, money laundering, and ensure the security of all users. This is a standard requirement for all licensed financial services.

Your information is securely processed through our partner Yellowcard's verified systems and is never shared with third parties.

What documents do I need for verification?

+

You'll need one of the following valid government-issued IDs:

  • National ID card
  • Passport
  • Driver's license

The document must be valid (not expired) and clearly show your photo, full name, and date of birth.

How long does verification take?

+

Most verifications are completed instantly using our automated system. In some cases, manual review may be required, which can take up to 24 hours.

You'll receive an email notification once your verification is complete.

Transactions

How long does a conversion take?

+

Conversion times depend on your payment method:

  • Mobile Money: Instant (within minutes)
  • Bank Transfer: Instant to 24-48 hours depending on your country
  • Instant EFT (South Africa): Within minutes

Note: Blockchain confirmation times may add 10-30 minutes depending on network congestion.

What is the minimum and maximum I can convert?

+

Transaction limits vary by country and payment method:

  • Minimum: $10 USD equivalent
  • Maximum: $10,000 - $100,000 USD equivalent per transaction

Daily and monthly limits may apply based on your verification level and transaction history.

Can I cancel a transaction?

+

Transactions cannot be cancelled once the cryptocurrency has been sent to our wallet address. This is because blockchain transactions are irreversible.

Always double-check your payment details before confirming a transaction.

Fees & Limits

What fees do you charge?

+

Our fee structure is simple and transparent:

  • Service Fee: 0.8% of the transaction amount
  • Network Fee: Small fixed fee based on your receiving currency (e.g., ₦50 for Nigeria)

All fees are clearly shown before you confirm your transaction. There are no hidden charges.

How do your exchange rates work?

+

We offer real-time market rates updated every second. Our rates are competitive and include a small spread to cover operational costs.

The exact rate you see when creating a transaction is the rate you get - no surprises!

Are there withdrawal limits?

+

Yes, limits depend on your verification level:

  • Basic Verification: Up to $10,000 per transaction
  • Enhanced Verification: Up to $100,000 per transaction

What if I send crypto to the wrong address?

+

Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. If you send crypto to the wrong address, we cannot recover it. Always:

  • Double-check the wallet address
  • Verify you're using the correct network
  • Send a small test amount first for large transactions

Troubleshooting

My transaction is taking longer than expected

+

If your transaction is delayed:

  • Check the blockchain explorer for confirmation status
  • Ensure you sent the exact amount requested
  • Verify you used the correct network (e.g., ERC20 vs TRC20)
  • Bank transfers may take 24-48 hours in some countries

If the issue persists, contact our support team with your transaction ID.

I haven't received my funds

+

First, check:

  • Your payment details were entered correctly
  • The transaction shows as completed in your account
  • Your bank account or mobile money can receive funds

Most issues are resolved within 24 hours. Contact support if you still haven't received your funds after this time.

My verification was rejected

+

  • Blurry or unclear document photos
  • Expired documents
  • Name mismatch with account details
