How to read this page
Capability, not marketing
Each row describes rails that exist on the platform today. When a rail depends on a partner going live, it stays Planned until it actually works.
Fees are always shown first
Whatever the country, the exact rate and any fees appear before you confirm. The fees page lists every charge we apply.
Limits scale with verification
Identity verification unlocks higher limits and payouts. The limits page explains the ladder without the jargon.
Questions
Why does Kenya have more than other countries?
Mavunta is built Kenya first. Kenyan users get the full experience today: mobile money in, mobile money out, merchant payments, and the marketplace. Other countries start with what already works everywhere, digital dollar transfers, and gain local rails as licensed partners come online.
What does Partial mean in the table?
It means the capability works with a condition attached. For example, cards and PayPal depend on what your bank or PayPal account supports in your country, and PayPal cash out depends on PayPal payout eligibility for your account.
What does Planned mean?
It means we intend to offer it through licensed partners but it is not live, so you cannot rely on it today. We would rather tell you that here than let you find out mid trip.
Can I use Mavunta from a country not in this table?
Digital dollar transfers between Mavunta accounts work from anywhere you can legally use the service, and crypto deposits work on all supported networks. The table lists the corridors we actively support and describe honestly. Prohibited jurisdictions are listed in our legal pages.
Your corridor is probably already live
Digital dollars cross every border on this page today.
