Debit cards usually have the description "debit" on the front. If there is no description, the card may be a credit card or have both functions. Check your banking app to see if there is a limit, as credit cards have a limit to how much you can charge. If you are not sure, contact your bank's customer support and ask.

When adding your mobile money wallet, make sure to add your personal phone number. We do not support mobile money wallets if the phone number is associated with a business or a non-governmental organisation.
