Managing your financial activity on digital asset platforms often requires flexibility—especially when it comes to deposit and withdrawal limits. If you're using OKX in Brazil and find your current BRL (Brazilian Real) transaction limits restrictive, you can request an increase through a straightforward verification process. This guide walks you through every step, explains the required documentation, processing times, and best practices to improve your chances of approval.
Steps to Request a Limit Increase
Increasing your BRL deposit and withdrawal limits on OKX is designed to be user-friendly and secure. Follow these simple steps:
- Log in to your OKX account via the mobile app or official website.
- Navigate to the account settings or verification section, then select Request Limit Increase.
- Complete the short questionnaire prompted by the system.
- Submit any required supporting documents.
👉 Unlock higher transaction limits with just a few taps—start your request now.
Once submitted, your request enters the review pipeline. No additional action is needed unless you're contacted for further information.
Required Documentation for Source of Funds Verification
To comply with Brazilian financial regulations, OKX Brazil mandates specific documentation to verify the legitimacy of your funds. Currently, the following documents are required:
- Annual Tax Return (Declaração do Imposto de Renda): This serves as official proof of income and financial activity.
- Receipt of Filing (Recibo de Entrega da DIRPF): A mandatory and binding document that confirms your tax return was successfully submitted to the Brazilian Revenue Service.
Both documents must be:
- Clear and legible
- Full copies (not cropped)
- Up to date (preferably from the most recent fiscal year)
These requirements stem from Brazil’s strict anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations, which require digital asset platforms to conduct enhanced due diligence for higher-tier transactions.
Processing Time for Limit Increase Requests
After submitting your request and documentation, OKX’s compliance team begins a thorough review.
You can expect a response within up to 2 business days. While most cases are resolved quickly, delays may occur if documents are unclear or incomplete. To avoid setbacks, double-check your uploads before submission.
👉 Speed up your approval—ensure your documents meet all requirements today.
Note: Processing times do not include weekends or public holidays in Brazil.
Will My Request Be Approved?
While OKX strives to support users’ growing needs, approval is not guaranteed. Each application undergoes a risk-based assessment that considers:
- Consistency of declared income with transaction volume
- Completeness and authenticity of submitted documents
- Account history and compliance record
Even with perfect documentation, final decisions depend on internal compliance thresholds. However, a well-prepared application significantly increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Is There a Fee for Requesting a Limit Increase?
No. Requesting a higher BRL limit is completely free. OKX does not charge any fees for verification upgrades or limit adjustments. This service is part of our commitment to providing a secure and scalable trading environment.
Be cautious of third-party services claiming to expedite approvals for a fee—these are not affiliated with OKX and may pose security risks.
What If My Request Is Denied?
A denial is not the end of the road. You can submit a new request with:
- Updated tax documentation
- Additional financial statements (if applicable)
- Clarifying explanations for any discrepancies
Each new submission is treated as a fresh application. While we cannot guarantee approval on subsequent attempts, providing stronger evidence greatly improves your chances.
Remember: No decision is final. Continuous engagement with the verification process demonstrates responsible usage and financial transparency.
Tips for a Smooth Approval Process
To maximize your chances of a fast and successful limit increase, follow these best practices:
- ✅ Use high-resolution scans – Blurry or pixelated documents slow down verification.
- ✅ Submit complete files – Include all pages of your tax return and receipt.
- ✅ Keep information consistent – Ensure names, CPF numbers, and financial figures match across documents.
- ✅ Respond promptly – If OKX requests additional details, reply within 24–48 hours.
- ✅ Stay compliant – Maintain a clean transaction history free of suspicious activity.
👉 Get ahead of the process—prepare your documents now and submit with confidence.
Why Additional Verification Is Needed After KYC
You might wonder: “I’ve already completed identity verification—why more steps?”
The answer lies in regulatory requirements. Under Brazilian law—particularly frameworks governing anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention—platforms like OKX must perform enhanced due diligence (EDD) when users seek higher transaction limits.
Standard KYC (Know Your Customer) confirms identity. EDD goes further by validating:
- Your financial capacity
- The origin of your funds
- The legitimacy of asset sources
This layered approach protects both users and the platform from fraud, illicit finance, and regulatory penalties.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often can I request a limit increase?
You can submit a new request at any time, especially if your financial situation has changed or you have updated documentation. However, it’s best to wait for the outcome of your current request before filing another.
Can I use bank statements instead of tax returns?
Currently, OKX Brazil only accepts the Annual Tax Return and its filing receipt as valid proof of source of funds. Bank statements alone are not sufficient for limit increase requests.
Do I need to re-verify if my limits decrease?
Limits may be adjusted based on inactivity or policy updates, but re-verification is only required if you’re prompted by the system or need to restore higher access.
Will my personal data be secure during the process?
Yes. All submitted documents are encrypted and stored securely in compliance with data protection laws. Access is restricted to authorized compliance personnel only.
Can I trade while my request is being processed?
Absolutely. Your existing trading and withdrawal capabilities remain unchanged during review.
What happens after my limit is increased?
Once approved, your new BRL deposit and withdrawal limits will be reflected in your account immediately. You’ll also receive a confirmation notification via email or in-app alert.
By understanding the process and preparing thoroughly, you can smoothly navigate the limit increase request on OKX. Stay compliant, keep your documents ready, and take full advantage of the platform’s growing capabilities tailored for Brazilian users.
