KYC Verification Tiers

Every SamaPrime account starts at Tier 1 once you verify your email and, if applicable, phone number — no document upload required. This tier is sufficient for typical SMS/OTP purchases and small wallet top-ups, with a $500 daily and $2,000 monthly limit.

Upgrading to Tier 2 requires a valid government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID, or driver's license) and a live selfie to confirm it matches the ID holder. This unlocks a $5,000 daily and $20,000 monthly limit, intended for regular, higher-value use.

Tier 3 is for users with substantial transaction volume. It requires proof of address (a recent utility bill or bank statement) and, for large transactions, documentation of the source of funds. Limits are reviewed case by case rather than fixed at a flat cap.

Verification is requested when you attempt a transaction that exceeds your current tier's limit, or when our risk models flag an account for review. Document review is typically completed within a few business days; you'll be notified by email once a tier upgrade is approved or if additional information is needed.
