Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do we need separate bank trust accounts for user wallet balances?
Yes. Central bank guidelines universally require that all custodial wallet balances be held in ring-fenced trust accounts at licensed commercial banks, completely separate from the operating company's capital.
