22. HOW YOUR FUNDS ARE PROTECTED:

We are an authorized payment institution regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The manner in which we hold customer deposits is not subject to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Instead, we are required to protect customers' funds by what is known as "Safeguarding", which refers to the manner in which customers' funds are moved into a segregated account known as a "Safeguarding Account". A Safeguarding Account exists to ensure that customers' funds are kept separate from a payment institution's own assets and funds, and are always readily available to return to customers, even if a payment institution becomes insolvent.

Our Safeguarding Account is held at TECHVENTURES BANK S.A., which provides regular confirmation of our Safeguarding arrangements.
