These are the markets where Capxul is founded and where the first users operate. The launch region is Africa (West Africa first) — additional West African markets activate as provider coverage expands. See Chapter 1 for the regional expansion plan.

These thresholds are indicative. Exact limits for crypto-to-fiat payroll disbursements must be confirmed with local legal counsel. Each new market requires its own row in the jurisdictionThresholds table in Convex.

  • Type: Off-ramp and on-ramp
  • Confirmed coverage: NG, GH, KE, UG (additional West African markets to be confirmed)

  • KYC: document verification across 10,000+ document types in 230+ countries
  • KYB: business verification against 300+ data sources in 250+ jurisdictions
  • Tier 1: eIDV endpoint (database lookup, no document upload) — coverage for first configured markets pending confirmation
  • Tier 2: Journey Builder (hosted flow with government ID + face verification + 3D liveness)
  • Tier 3: Same as Tier 2 plus address verification and AML screening

Shufti Pro’s 230+ country coverage means additional African markets are likely supported without adding a new identity provider. Per-market ID type support must be confirmed.

This is the standard operating model — not an exception. Every new market follows the same steps:

  1. Fiat ramp provider — confirm an existing provider covers the jurisdiction, or add a new provider behind the ramp facade
  2. Jurisdiction thresholds — add a row to jurisdictionThresholds table in Convex with KYC tier limits for the jurisdiction
  3. Identity verification — confirm Shufti Pro coverage for the jurisdiction’s ID types and government databases, or add a new provider behind the verification facade
  4. Legal review — confirm KYC/AML obligations for crypto-to-fiat payroll disbursements in the jurisdiction

No platform code changes required. The facade pattern and jurisdiction configuration tables handle the rest. This process applies equally to the next West African market and to the first Middle Eastern or Latin American market.
