What’s more, you will have to take a selfie with your desktop or mobile phone to complete this level of verification. Luno will now review the details you provided and confirm your identity before you can trade bitcoin. 

If you get cleared at this stage, you can deposit up to 10,000,000 UGX to buy bitcoin. If you intend to buy more than that, you will have to add your proof of your residential address. You can do this by uploading a bank statement or any other payment document that mentions your residential address.

Verification Levels and Deposit Limits

You can send money from your bank account to your Luno account. Select the bank of your choice and follow the prompts to deposit money into your account. Luno will always provide a unique reference number which you should check before making any payments.

The transfer will show on in your balance immediately, provided it is not a holiday or weekend.
