Throughout the introductory calls with the onramp providers, there was a discrepancy in KYC requirements in LatAm - specifically Argentina. Global providers such as Moonpay and Wyre have minimum amount thresholds for more in depth KYC requirements including photo identificaition. For smaller purchases (i.e. under $50), the global providers do not require photo ID.

However, local provider Latamex, who specialize in, the Latam market, stated that all crypto purchases, regardless of amount, require photo identification.

The Oasis team surfaces multiple options in the UI including Latamex, Wyre, and Moonpay. Why do they do this? Considering they have a robust g2m strategy in Latam (Arg/Bra), we should reach out to them and understand their requirements.
