    Borrowing terms

    This is a prepaid debit card, not a credit card

    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      If the provider disappears, unconverted crypto remains accessible to the user. Fiat held in the IBAN account is subject to Swiss banking protections.
    • Counterparty risk
      Fiat funds are held custodially once converted, subject to Fiat24/Swiss banking protections
    • Market risk
      Rewards paid in volatile $TITN tokens, rating penalized for payout in volatile TIT tokens
    • Regulatory risk
      Geographic restrictions may change; not available in US and sanctioned jurisdictions

    THORWallet employs a hybrid custody model. Users retain full self-custody of their crypto assets, controlling their own private keys until they manually initiate a conversion to fiat. Once converted, the fiat currency is held custodially in a Swiss IBAN account where funds are backed 100% by reserves at the Swiss National Bank.

    Protections

    • Two-factor authentication
    • Biometric locks
    • Instant card freeze/unfreeze
    • 3-D Secure for online purchases
    • AML monitoring and transaction screening
    • Multisignature and threshold signature scheme (TSS)
