⚡ 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.
