Receiving BAT in South Africa

Brave Rewards
1

Hi there! I live in South Africa and would love to switch to Brave. For the privacy reasons and, of course, BAT rewards. I’m also thinking of joining the creator program. However, I’ve had an Uphold account in the past and I kept having issues with my ID verification. Eventually they just closed my account and now it says that they won’t offer me an account. I did send through my ID documentation as requested, yet they continued to send me notifications that they were unable to verify me.

My question is - how do I receive BAT if I earn anything when I am unable to use Uphold?

Hello! Thanks for your support.

You can connect a self-custody wallet to a Creators account and do not need a custodian to receive or send P2P contributions. More on this here: https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021123971-How-do-I-make-contributions-to-websites-and-content-creators-with-Brave-Rewards
