Custody & risk

• If the issuer disappears

  Funds are not FDIC-insured. If the provider or its partners cease operations, funds may become inaccessible. Deposits are also subject to AML holds by the third-party payment processor, Cryptomus.
• Counterparty risk

  Funds are held with banking partners, not directly insured. As a non-bank fintech service, funds are not FDIC-insured or protected by traditional banking regulations.
• Counterparty risk

  Deposit processor (Cryptomus) may impose AML holds on transactions. Funds may be held or frozen by the payment processor independently of Kemy Card.
• Regulatory risk

  Service availability subject to ongoing regulatory compliance and partner relationships. The fintech regulatory landscape continues to evolve.

The platform and its undisclosed banking partners hold all crypto and fiat funds. Users deposit funds into a main account balance controlled by Kemygroup LLC, which is then used to load the cards. Users do not control private keys at any point.
