Compliance-first. Security always.
Your trust is our foundation
Our Security Philosophy
Security isn't a feature - it's the foundation of everything we build. Every line of code, every system design decision, starts with security.
Defense in Depth
Multiple layers of security controls protect your data and transactions at every level.
Minimal Data Collection
We only collect what's necessary for regulatory compliance and service delivery.
Encryption Everywhere
Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols.
How We Protect You
Multiple security measures working together to keep your money safe
Data Protection
Your data is always protected
- AES-256 Encryption at Rest
All stored data encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by governments and financial institutions.

All communications between your device and our servers are encrypted with TLS, preventing eavesdropping.
- Secure Key Management
Encryption keys stored in AWS Secrets Manager with strict access controls and automatic rotation.
Identity Verification
Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance
- Tiered Verification System
Progressive verification matching your transaction limits. Start small, verify more as you need higher limits.
- Document + Biometric Verification
Government ID verification with liveness detection ensures you are who you say you are.
- Anti-Spoofing Technology
Advanced detection prevents photo or video replay attacks during identity verification.
Authentication
Secure access to your account
- Passwordless Login
No passwords to steal or forget. One-time codes via SMS or WhatsApp for secure authentication.
