I am 16 years old now, can I purchase and use the card?

Find out if you can purchase and use the MPChat card at 16 years old. Learn about age requirements and KYC verification details.

⚡ Direct answer

No. Both KYC and card applications at MPChat require you to be 18. At 16 you cannot purchase or use a card.


📖 Why the minimum age is 18

There are two independent gates; both resolve to age 18:

  • KYC: identity verification is the prerequisite for MPChat Pay financial services and requires age 18.

  • Cards: the card issuer requires cardholders to be 18.

A parent or legal guardian’s consent cannot substitute. Under 18 you can still sign up and use chat, friends, and groups.

After you turn 18, go to Me → Identity verification and resubmit — you do not need to close the account. See Why MPChat requires age 18 and How to complete KYC1 in MPChat.
