    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      If the provider disappears, card balances are inaccessible and cannot be withdrawn on-chain.
    • Counterparty risk
      Custodial model means if provider disappears, card balances are inaccessible and cannot be withdrawn on-chain
    • Counterparty risk
      No deposit insurance equivalent to what traditional banks offer
    • Regulatory risk
      Service terms could change due to evolving crypto regulations

    KazePay is a custodial platform. It holds all user crypto after deposit, and users do not control the private keys. Custody transfers to the provider when stablecoins are loaded onto the card balance.
