When connecting a custodial account (e.g., Uphold, Gemini, bitFlyer, or ZebPay 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), you might not be able to connect your custodial account, and might 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).
