If you want to send money to a Wallet through WorldRemit it doesn’t matter what currency you’re funding your payment with (you can always select which of the available Wallet currencies you want your recipient to receive).

How much money can I store in my WorldRemit Wallet?

Like many digital accounts, WorldRemit sets a cap on how much money can be held within each Wallet for security purposes. Balance limits vary by region so the amount you can hold depends on where you live.

Balance limits come in two forms: one can be set by WorldRemit on specific currency account(s) and another type can be set as a total balance for the Wallet, which is totalled between all the currency accounts held by a user.

As an example, Sandra may have a WorldRemit Wallet and hold three currency accounts: US Dollar, British Pound, and Philippine Peso. The Wallet Balance Limit may be $2000, meaning Sandra could approximately hold $1000, £400, and P2600 in each of her accounts and stay within the Wallet Balance Limit.

But, if there was a $500 currency account balance limit on the US currency account, Sandra wouldn’t be able to hold any more than that in her US Dollar currency account, but could still hold up to $2000 equivalent between all of her currency accounts.

So, in summary a Wallet will always have a Wallet Balance Limit; it may also contain specific Currency Account Balance Limits too.

The particular limits applied to your region will vary. Go to those region’s pages listed on the General Wallet FAQ page to find out more.
