# How to restrict the use of deposit and withdrawal methods

You can restrict the use of deposit and withdrawal methods based on **verification level**, **country**, or **client type**. Additionally, you can apply a combination of these restrictions to fine-tune access.

## How to restrict the use by verification level

You can restrict the use of deposit or withdrawal methods so that they can only be used by clients who have achieved specific [verification levels](/back-office-guide/verification/levels.md) (for example, due to regulator requirements).

To restrict the use of a deposit or withdrawal method by verification level:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to **System** > **Deposit system** > **Deposit methods** or\
to **System** > **Payout system** > **Payout methods**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the method and click the **Edit** button in the method row.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Actions** in the upper-right page corner, and then select **Verification level restrictions** in the dropdown.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Restrictions** popup, fill in the following information:

* In the **Enabled** dropdown, select **Yes**.
* In the **Type** dropdown, select either of the two options:
  * **Deny only** — this option forbids the use of the method for selected verification levels.
  * **Allow only** — this option allows the use of the method only for selected verification levels.
* In the **Rules** dropdown, select one or several verification levels.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to apply the changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## How to restrict the use by country

You can restrict the use of deposit or withdrawal methods so that they can only be used by clients from specific countries.

To restrict the use of a deposit or withdrawal method by country:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to **System** > **Deposit system** > **Deposit methods** or\
to **System** > **Payout system** > **Payout methods**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the method and click the **Edit** button in the method row.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Actions** in the upper-right page corner, and then select **Country restrictions** in the dropdown.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Restrictions** popup, fill in the following information:

* In the **Enabled** dropdown, select **Yes**.
* In the **Type** dropdown, select either of the two options:
  * **Deny only** — this option forbids the use of the method for selected countries.
  * **Allow only** — this option allows the use of the method only for selected countries.
* In the **Rules** dropdown, select one or several countries.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to apply the changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## How to restrict the use by client type

You can restrict the use of deposit or withdrawal methods so that they can only be used by clients belonging to a specific [type](/back-office-guide/clients/types.md), such as *individual* or *corporate*.

To restrict the use of a deposit or withdrawal method by client type:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to **System** > **Deposit system** > **Deposit methods** or\
to **System** > **Payout system** > **Payout methods**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the method and click the **Edit** button in the method row.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Actions** in the upper-right page corner, and then select **Client type restrictions** in the dropdown.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Restrictions** popup, fill in the following information:

* In the **Enabled** dropdown, select **Yes**.
* In the **Type** dropdown, select either of the two options:
  * **Deny only** — this option forbids the use of the method for selected client types.
  * **Allow only** — this option allows the use of the method only for selected client types.
* In the **Rules** dropdown, select one or several client types.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to apply the changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
