Transaction limits for mobile money recipient accounts in Africa vary by country and mobile network operator. These limits can include daily, weekly, or monthly maximums for incoming transactions, as well as limits on the amount that can be withdrawn from the account.

To ensure a smooth transaction, we recommend checking with the recipient to confirm that their account has enough capacity to receive the funds before making the transfer.
