Why won't you let me upload my beneficiary's ID?
Sometimes, the browser of your cell phone or computer has information stored in the cache, which does not allow you to fill in some forms. In this case, we recommend that you close the browser completely and reopen it, re-login to Curiara and try again. The field is filled with numbers only, no dots or blanks.
If you are on mobile, we encourage you to try it on a computer.
If the problem persists, please send us the beneficiary’s data in this way, and we will upload it to your file from our backoffice. It will be saved for future transactions.
What do I do if I did not include the transaction number in the concept of my payment?
Our verification consists of two steps:
- Verification of the concept of each payment
- We verify the holder of the bank account sending the funds.
In this way, we ensure that, in the event of this type of human error, we have a double validation factor.

Yes. You can send remittances from a joint account. However, it is necessary that you send us some proof or account statement for verification.
