Limits and KYC tiers
Vodacom M-Pesa Lesotho publishes three KYC tiers: Tier 2 (partial KYC) caps you at M 20,000 daily / M 40,000 monthly; Tier 3 (full KYC with national ID) lifts this to M 75,000 daily / M 150,000 monthly; corporate accounts have no published cap. The Tier 3 step-up requires a visit to a Vodacom service centre with your Lesotho national ID or passport.
Frequently asked questions
How do I step up my KYC tier?
Visit an operator service centre (M-Pesa) in Maseru or in the region with your national ID, a proof of address and a selfie for biometric verification on some flows. Activation is typically immediate or within 24h.
Is the corporate ceiling negotiable?
Yes — corporate / merchant accounts in Lesotho have ceilings negotiated directly with the operator, often above the displayed individual ceilings. Contact the enterprise team for a dedicated KYC onboarding.
