When connecting a custodial account (e.g., Uphold, Gemini, bitFlyer account) to your Brave Rewards profile, your custodial account's country should match your Brave Rewards country. For example, if your Brave Rewards country is set to the United States (US), but the custodial account you're using is registered in Brazil (BR), then might not be able to connect your custodial account, and may see the following error message:

Custodial account country

In general, your custodial account country is determined by the ID documents you used during ID verification when signing up with your custodian of choice. For example:

• If you used a driver's license or passport from the United States when registering with Uphold, then your custodial account country will be "United States" (US).
• If you used a driver's license or passport from Canada, then your custodial account's country will be Canada (CA).

Brave Rewards country

In order to use Brave Rewards, users are prompted to select their country (see screenshot):

The country you select will determine your Brave Rewards country. You can also check your Brave Rewards country by going to brave://rewards-internals and looking at the country code where it says "Rewards country: XX". 

How do I change my Brave Rewards country?

Currently, the Brave Rewards country you set is permanent. In order to change your Brave Rewards country, you can reset your Brave Rewards profile, then select a different country on your new Rewards profile.

Having problems?
