How Region Selection Works

Choosing Your Target Country

What happens when you select a region:
  • Currency Conversion: Your selected region determines the local currency you’ll receive (ZMW for Zambia, MWK for Malawi)
  • Available Methods: Different withdrawal options become available based on the region’s financial infrastructure
  • Compliance Setup: Region-specific KYC and regulatory requirements are applied
  • Exchange Rates: Real-time rates are shown for converting USDC/EURC to local currency
Important Considerations:
  • You can set up multiple regions if you operate in different countries
  • Each region requires separate verification and setup
  • Exchange rates are locked in at the time of conversion
  • Processing times vary by region and withdrawal method
Zambia Requirements:
  • Valid Zambian national ID or passport
  • Local bank account details (for bank transfers)
  • Mobile money wallet registration (for mobile transfers)
  • Proof of address in Zambia
Malawi Requirements:
  • Valid Malawian national ID or passport
  • Mobile money wallet registration (Airtel Money or TNM Mpamba)
  • Proof of address in Malawi
  • Banking details (when banking support launches)
Verification Process:
  • Document upload and verification (1-2 business days)
  • Identity confirmation via trusted verification partners
  • Address verification for compliance
  • Account status updates via email and dashboard notifications
Operating Across Multiple Countries:If your business operates in both Zambia and Malawi, you can:
  • Set up separate cashout regions for each country
  • Maintain different withdrawal methods per region
  • Convert to different local currencies as needed
