What are the transaction limits for mobile money recipient accounts?

MoMo limits

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Transaction limits for mobile money recipient accounts vary, determined by the specific country and mobile network operator involved. These limits encompass daily, weekly, or monthly maximums for incoming transactions alongside limitations on the total amount one can withdraw from the account.

Things to consider

  1. The recipient's profile matters

Transaction limits may fluctuate based on the recipient's profile or tier with the Telco. Different tiers within the Telco system may have varying transaction thresholds.

2. Check with the mobile network operator or recipient

We recommend contacting the specific mobile network operator or the intended recipient directly to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information on transaction limits.

They can provide insights into any recent updates or changes to the transaction limits based on the recipient's profile.

Here are different limits for mobile money recipient accounts.
