Frequently asked questions

What rate does Sky pay on sUSDS?+

The account pays a variable rate of 3.6%. The rate type is variable, so it can rise or fall with the protocol rather than being locked in. The legal entity behind the account is Skybase International.

What does it cost to hold sUSDS?+

The monthly fee is $0 and the model is no monthly fee. The cost part of the score is 5.3, so fees are the softer side of the offer next to the access terms.

Can I withdraw my money at any time?+

Yes. The access terms describe a non-custodial account with no lockup or maturity date, and you withdraw sUSDS to USDS at any time. The account kind is listed as easy access, so the balance stays reachable throughout.

Who holds the money in the account?+

The access terms describe the holding as non-custodial, so the tokens sit with the holder rather than with a third party. The provider behind the account is Skybase International, and the position is a stablecoin that tracks digital dollars.

How do I get help?+

Support runs on email only, so a phone line and live chat are not among the listed channels. Questions arrive in writing, which suits people comfortable with email and less so those who prefer to talk.

Is Sky a new company?+

The provider has traded since 2017 under the name Skybase International. That length of trading matters if you weigh the counterparty behind the yield against newer entrants, and it pairs with a variable rate of 3.6%.

What kind of account is sUSDS?+

The account kind is easy access, and the access terms set no lockup or maturity date. It is a savings balance that pays 3.6% on a variable basis rather than a fixed contract.

How does the rate compare with other savings accounts?+

The site median for headline rate is 3%, so 3.6% sits above the middle of the field. Sky ranks 179 out of 473 brands on that measure, with the account kind listed as easy access.

What is the overall score?+

Sky scores 5.5 overall, with a cost part of 5.3 and an offer part of 5.9. The offer part sits slightly higher, which fits an account that is easy to reach but pays a variable rate of 3.6%.
