    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      If the provider disappears, unconverted crypto remains accessible, but pre-loaded EUR on the card may be lost.
    • Regulatory risk

    • Counterparty risk
      Pre-loaded EUR on the card may be lost if provider disappears, even though unconverted crypto remains accessible

    Users control private keys and crypto in a non-custodial wallet. Custody transfers to the provider when crypto is manually converted to EUR and pre-loaded onto the card.
