Frequently asked questions.
I am trying to load funds onto the My-iMali App but it is not reflecting?
Please ensure that you have done the ‘KYC’ process in-app before trying to load your wallet with funds, otherwise you would need to request support to allocate this after your application is approved. To ‘KYC’ yourself click on the top left icon and then click on ‘KYC Limits’ - from here choose either ID or Passport and fill in RSA ID number or Passport (for non-RSA citizens) number and click UPGRADE MY LIMITS - you will then follow the simple process in-app.
