Is money held in the account protected?+

How do I receive money locally?+
The account issues local account details in the form of us ach, so incoming money can arrive like a domestic transfer. Payouts can be sent out to bank and wallet across the supported markets.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on help centre, which covers questions on fees, supported payout countries and conversion charges. It is the only channel listed, so anything urgent has to go through written answers before a transfer goes out.
