4.1. Share your Referral Code. A Referral Code can be found in the “Rewards” tab in the WebApp of Active Account holders. Share this Referral Code with your intended referee.

4.2. Referee Onboarding. After you share your Referral link or code, your intended referee will be prompted to create an account (if using the link), complete the card ordering process on the Gnosis Pay WebApp and will be subject to account verification procedures (including know-your-customer (KYC) processes) through the Gnosis Pay WebApp and its KYC service providers.
4.3. Cap on Referrals. Each Referrer will only be eligible to make up to a maximum of 100 referrals, meaning they can only have their Referral Code used by a maximum of 100 Referred Users.
