Who can use Sling Money?

To use Sling Money, you must be at least 18 years old, be a resident in a supported country, and pass our identity verification process.

Our identity verification process may require you to share your name, phone number, date of birth, residential address, a selfie, and a picture of a photo ID card. The requirements vary by country and are subject to change.

Sling Money cannot serve customers subject to sanctions issued by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or the United Nations. This may include directly sanctioned individuals or individuals associated with sanctioned entities or geographies. We may also be unable to serve customers in certain countries with high rates of fraud, financial crime, or sanctions evasion.

We are constantly working to improve our risk management processes and expand our coverage.

The Sling Money app is available to download and can be used for peer-to-peer transfers in 140+ countries. You can add and withdraw money to local payment methods (such as debit cards, bank accounts, and mobile money wallets) in 70+ of those countries, across 40+ currencies.

You can see if we support your country, as well as the payment methods available, on our website.

To use Sling Money, you need a smartphone with biometric verification enabled, with an operating system later than iOS 17.0 or Android 8.0.

In 70+ countries, you do not need a smartphone to redeem a Sling Link to your bank account, debit card, or mobile money wallet, as Sling Links can be sent via email.

You can also log in to Sling Money via email, so you're still able to use Sling Money even if you're traveling or don't have access to your phone number.
