The features and functionalities of the App may be amended, added to, suspended, or withdrawn at any time and from time to time, at the sole discretion of the Group and without prior notice.

All rights not expressly granted to you herein are reserved by the Group.
Certain software components incorporated into the App may be licensed to you under open source or other third-party licensing terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of such licences and the provisions of these Terms, the relevant third-party license terms shall prevail, but solely with respect to those specific components.
You acknowledge and agree that your use of the App, your Account, and all related Services is strictly subject to your ongoing compliance with these Terms and any other terms and policies that may be applicable from time to time.
You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility, at your own cost, to ensure that your device (the “Enabled Device”) meets the necessary technical and security requirements for use of the App and Services. Without limitation, this includes:
Procuring, maintaining, and configuring all necessary hardware, software, and telecommunications services required to access and use the App;
Installing and maintaining updated antivirus, anti-malware, and other relevant security software on your Enabled Device;

In addition, where such unauthorized access is suspected or confirmed, you are responsible for promptly resetting your device passwords and taking all reasonable steps to secure your device and access credentials.
Your access to and use of the Services may be subject to fees, charges, commissions, or other costs (collectively, the “ Fees ” ), as applicable. Such Fees may be deducted from your Wallet Balance held in the Custodian Account(s), your Smart Contract Vault Balance, or your Virtual Account Balance (as applicable), or may be settled at the time of card balance settlement, Swap Transaction execution, or charged separately. You hereby agree to promptly settle all Fees when due. Failure to do so may result in the suspension or restriction of your access to the Services until all outstanding amounts are fully discharged. The current schedule of applicable Fees is published on the App, the Site, or in separate documentation as made available by the Group. The Group reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to introduce new Fees or amend existing Fees at any time.
All Fees listed in any applicable fee schedule, on the App, or on the Site are exclusive of any applicable taxes, duties, or governmental levies. Any such taxes shall be charged in addition to the stated Fees, and the final amount payable by you shall be inclusive of such applicable taxes.
All Fees paid in connection with the Services are strictly non-refundable under any circumstances, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
Each payment obligation under these Terms shall be construed as separate and independent. Payment of one obligation does not relieve you from any other payment obligation under these Terms.
Where both you and the Group have obligations for payment or delivery in the same fiat currency or Acceptable Token on any given day with respect to multiple transactions, the Group may elect, in its sole discretion, to effect payment or delivery on a net basis. In such case, the respective obligations shall be automatically discharged by way of net settlement. The party owing the greater amount shall be obliged to pay the difference between the respective obligations.
In addition to the netting rights set forth in Clause 8.1, the Group reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to set off any obligations, whether matured, unmatured, actual, or contingent, owed by you (individually or jointly, if more than one person constitutes the client) against any sums due or owing to you by the Group, regardless of the currency, type of asset, or place of payment. Where a balance remains payable by you after such set-off:
You hereby authorize the Group to (i) liquidate any or all of your fiat or Acceptable Tokens held by the Group; or (ii) apply such assets (including those held in any Custodian Account, Self-Custody Wallet (subject to applicable Smart Contract Vault terms), or Virtual Account) toward the satisfaction of the outstanding amount; and
In the event of a shortfall following such application, you shall immediately pay the remaining balance due to the Group in full and without delay.
The Group shall have a general lien over any of your assets or property in its possession or control, except to the extent such lien may give rise to a disclosure obligation under Applicable Law. The Group may sell or dispose of such assets and apply the net proceeds, after deducting reasonable costs and expenses, to discharge any amounts owed by you.
For purposes of exercising any of its rights under this Clause 8, the Group may perform conversions between currencies or assets at such rates as it, acting reasonably, determines to be appropriate at the time of conversion.
The rights granted to the Group under this Clause 8 are without prejudice to and in addition to any other rights of set-off, combination, lien, retention, or withholding available to the Group under these Terms, contract, equity, or Applicable Law.

amendments or modifications, you must immediately cease use of the
App and the Services.
These Terms, and any rights or licences granted herein, are personal to you and may not be transferred, assigned, or sublicensed by you without the prior written consent of the Group.

Any purported assignment in breach of this Clause shall be null and void.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court or authority of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms, but the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

Subject to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong), these Terms, together with any related agreements or instruments, are intended to confer rights or benefits only on the Indemnified Parties, who shall be entitled to enforce the relevant provisions hereof. No other person shall have any rights to enforce or benefit from any term under these Terms by virtue of that Ordinance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, these Terms (and any agreement governed by or subject to these Terms) may be amended, modified, rescinded, or waived by the Group and you at any time without the consent of any Indemnified Party.
These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Any dispute, controversy, difference, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination, as well as any dispute concerning non-contractual obligations arising therefrom, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force at the time the Notice of Arbitration is submitted.
The parties agree that:
The governing law of this arbitration clause shall be the laws of Hong Kong;
The seat (legal place) of arbitration shall be Hong Kong;
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitral tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator with appropriate legal and technological expertise;
If the parties are unable to agree on the appointment of the arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days from the commencement of arbitration, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the HKIAC;
The language of the arbitration shall be English.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall prevent the Group from seeking urgent interim, injunctive, or equitable relief in any jurisdiction as it may deem necessary to protect its rights or interests.
Upon the creation of an Account with the Group, you shall enter into a contractual relationship with the designated custodian (the “ Custodian ” ) for the custody of your fiat currencies, virtual assets, and other applicable assets. You hereby appoint the Custodian, and the Custodian accepts such appointment, to act as custodian with respect to all fiat currency, securities, virtual assets, and other assets or property deposited or delivered by you from time to time.
The Custodian agrees to hold in safekeeping all assets received from you, in accordance with the terms set forth herein and Applicable Law, and to perform its custodial duties as specifically provided in these Terms. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any duties except those expressly assumed herein.
You agree to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Custodian all relevant assets and any income, capital, or principal distributions arising therefrom. Securities may be delivered in physical or book-entry form.
As part of its custodial services, the Custodian shall allocate one or more individual on-chain wallet addresses dedicated to you (each, a “Custodian Wallet”) for the storage of supported virtual assets. Custodian Wallets are secured and administered by the Custodian. All such assets held to your credit are segregated from the Custodian’s own assets and from those of other users. Wallet access keys are managed solely by the Custodian’s authorized personnel. You may maintain multiple deposit wallet addresses, each of which shall be viewable via your Custodian Account.
By maintaining virtual assets in a Custodian Wallet, you acknowledge and accept the risks associated with market fluctuations, including depreciation in asset value. You waive any claims against the Custodian in respect of such value fluctuations.
Where the Custodian Account(s) is used in connection with the Services, the Group shall manage fiat currency, virtual assets, and other applicable assets on your behalf and in accordance with these Terms.
You acknowledge the inherent risks associated with the Custodian Account(s), including:
System Risks: related to platform and system performance;
Market Risks: due to price volatility of virtual assets;
Regulatory Risks: related to evolving legal and compliance standards;
Security Risks: arising from cyberattacks, data breaches, or theft;
Operational Risks: including internal processing failures or disruptions.
The Group may, as necessary to facilitate settlement of transactions (including Card Balances), issue binding instructions to the Custodian, which may include freezing, converting, or transferring your assets. The Custodian is contractually obligated to comply with such instructions.
Your Custodian Account(s) consists of individual accounts designated for each user. All such assets are subsequently swept into a ring-fenced pooled omnibus vault account (“Pooled Account”) maintained by the Custodian and segregated from the Custodian’s proprietary assets. The Custodian will maintain:
Accurate records of your individual account and corresponding Wallet Balance; and
Your identifiable share of the assets within the Pooled Account.
The Custodian Account is not a bank account, savings account, or checking account. No interest shall accrue or be payable on any assets held therein.
By using the Custodian Account(s) in connection with the Services, including the BilderPay Card, you expressly authorize the Group to manage assets therein for purposes of security, functionality, and compliance with Applicable Law.
The Custodian Account is not a deposit account, and assets held therein are not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme under the Deposit Protection Scheme Ordinance (Cap. 581, Laws of Hong Kong).
You acknowledge and warrant that:
The Group may make adjustments to the Custodian Account(s), including the handling of forks in virtual assets or modifications to pooled arrangements;
The Group does not act as a trustee, fiduciary, or escrow agent for your assets;
The Custodian serves solely as a custodian;
You authorize the Group to freeze, convert, or transfer assets as required; and
All assets deposited are of lawful origin and in compliance with Applicable Law.
Virtual asset receipt and transfer times depend on third-party network performance. Transactions remain pending until confirmed by the applicable blockchain. Balances may reflect unconfirmed transactions but are not final until confirmation.
The Custodian shall not be liable for any property not delivered to it or properly transferred pursuant to instructions, nor for property held or delivered by third parties.
The Custodian is entitled to rely on instructions transmitted via agreed authentication methods. Oral Instructions must be promptly confirmed in writing. Any inconsistency between Oral and Written Instructions obligates the Custodian only to notify the user, without invalidating the underlying transaction.
Upon receipt of proper Instructions, the Custodian shall disburse assets as directed, including standing instructions as permitted under these Terms.
The Custodian may appoint one or more qualified banks or trust companies as agents. Such delegation shall not relieve the Custodian of its responsibilities hereunder.
Without express authorization, the Custodian may:
Convert temporary securities into definitive form;
Endorse instruments for collection;
Attend to administrative matters related to user assets.
The Custodian shall maintain records as required by Applicable Law and permit inspection during business hours. You elect to receive communications electronically and accept all associated risks.
When making payments to service providers (including the Group) pursuant to proper Instructions, the Custodian acts solely in an administrative or ministerial capacity and not as payor for tax purposes.
To the extent permitted by law, the Custodian may retain interest earned on cash balances and shall not be required to account for such interest to you.
The Custodian shall hold and segregate all non-cash property on your behalf.
The Custodian shall be entitled to compensation for its services and reimbursement of expenses, as may be agreed in writing from time to time.
The Custodian shall perform its duties with reasonable care, prudence, and diligence customary for custodians of similar services. The Custodian shall not be liable for any damages except to the extent arising from its gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, or breach of these Terms. In no event shall the Custodian be liable for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits.
The Custodian is not responsible for verifying title or authenticity of assets. It shall not be liable for losses arising from events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, or infrastructural failures.
The Custodian shall not be liable for losses caused by the insolvency of any sub-custodian not majority-owned by the Custodian.
The Custodian may seek written Instructions or legal advice in connection with its duties and shall not be liable for any action taken in good faith reliance on such advice, provided such opinion is shared with the user within a reasonable timeframe.
You shall indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian from all claims, liabilities, losses, costs (including legal fees), and expenses arising from actions taken or omissions made in accordance with these Terms, except to the extent arising from the Custodian’s own wilful misconduct, negligence, bad faith, or breach of these Terms.
To deposit virtual assets or, where applicable, other assets including fiat currency into your Custodian Account(s), you must strictly follow the deposit instructions provided via the App or the Site. Only Acceptable Tokens, or other permitted assets as defined in these Terms, shall be accepted for custody.
Both the Group and the Custodian reserve the right to conduct know-your-customer (KYC), know-your-transaction (KYT), anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) procedures, as well as any other due diligence measures deemed necessary in relation to all assets and transactions associated with your Custodian Account(s). You agree to provide, upon request, accurate, complete, and up-to-date information and supporting documentation to facilitate such checks.
The Group may, in its sole discretion and in accordance with these Terms, freeze part or all of the assets held in your Custodian Account(s). During the period of such freeze, you shall be restricted from accessing, transferring, or transacting with the affected assets until the freeze is lifted.
You represent and warrant that all assets deposited into your Custodian Account(s) are legally and beneficially owned by you, free of any liens, encumbrances, or third-party claims, and are not derived from, nor connected to, any illicit or unlawful activities.
The Group and/or the Custodian reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to reject any deposit of assets into your Custodian Account(s), particularly where there are concerns regarding the legality, authenticity, or source of such assets, or where due diligence and compliance checks are not satisfactorily completed.
You acknowledge and agree that the Group and the Custodian are legally obligated to report any suspicious transactions or activity to relevant regulatory authorities. You undertake to fully cooperate with the Group, the Custodian, and the relevant authorities in connection with any such investigations.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that only Acceptable Tokens or other authorized assets (as applicable) are transmitted to your Custodian Account(s). Any assets sent in error or in contravention of these Terms may be permanently lost and shall not be recoverable or refundable by the Group or the Custodian.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement and any applicable restrictions (including freezes or holds), you may withdraw assets from your Custodian Account(s) from time to time. You may also transfer assets internally between your own Custodian Accounts (e.g., between a Debit Account and Credit Account), or to the Custodian Account(s) or Smart Contract Vaults of other users. All such withdrawals or transfers must be executed in accordance with the applicable instructions and procedures set out in these Terms or as published on the App or the Site.
You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and validity of any recipient wallet address, bank account, or financial institution account used for withdrawals or transfers. Neither the Group nor the Custodian (where relevant) shall be liable for any losses, damages, or liabilities (including tax implications) arising from the use of incorrect or incompatible destination details.
You shall bear all fees, charges, and costs associated with withdrawals, transfers, or releases of assets from your Custodian Account(s), including but not limited to network and transaction fees. Such fees may be deducted from your Custodian Account(s) at the time of transaction or charged separately, as determined by the Group or the Custodian.
The Group and/or the Custodian may decline any request for withdrawal, transfer, or release of assets at their sole discretion and for any reason, including but not limited to compliance with Applicable Law, regulatory directives, or internal policy.
Withdrawals, transfers, and releases from your Custodian Account(s) are subject to such transaction limits as may be imposed by the Group and/or the Custodian from time to time, at their sole discretion.
The Group may provide you with a line of credit in connection with the use of the BilderPay Card, which may be utilized for the following purposes, subject to these Terms:
The purchase of goods and services from merchants worldwide that accept cards issued under the applicable Card Network Rules;
The settlement of card balances arising from Card Transactions ("Card Balances");
Cash withdrawals from automated teller machines (ATMs), subject to applicable terms and availability;
Other authorized transactions as may be permitted under these Terms.
Issuance: The BilderPay Card is issued as part of the Card Issuance Services and may be used for purchases at merchants and cash withdrawals at ATMs that accept cards issued under the relevant Card Network, including those outside of Hong Kong.
Pre-Authorization: You authorize the Group to:
(i)
Freeze an amount of your Acceptable Tokens held in your Custodian
Account(s) or Locked Tokens in your Smart Contract Vault (as
applicable); and/or
(ii) Freeze an equivalent amount of your
Virtual Account Deposits, in each case equivalent to the Settlement
Amount of the pending Card Transaction.
Conversion and Settlement: Upon execution of a Card Transaction, you authorize the Group to convert and deduct the applicable amount of:
(i)
Acceptable Tokens from your Custodian Account(s); or
(ii)
Locked Tokens from your Smart Contract Vault; and/or
(iii)
Virtual Account Deposits from your Virtual Account,
(collectively, “Settlement Assets”) into a fiat currency or stablecoin (“Converted Assets”), at prevailing market exchange rates determined at the Group’s discretion. The Converted Assets shall be used to settle the relevant Card Balances.
Use of the BilderPay Card shall be subject to limits prescribed by the Group, including:
A maximum credit limit;
A maximum per-transaction limit;
Daily and monthly aggregate transaction limits (collectively, "Card Limits").
The applicable Card Limits will be published via the App or the Site and may be varied by the Group at any time, with or without prior notice. Transactions exceeding any applicable Card Limits shall be declined. You agree not to initiate any transaction that exceeds such Card Limits.
You may submit a request via the App for issuance of a BilderPay Card. Issuance is subject to approval by the Group. Activation of the BilderPay Card must be completed through the App. The Group reserves the right to reject any application for issuance or revoke any issued BilderPay Card at its sole discretion and without liability.
You acknowledge that each physical BilderPay Card remains the property of the Group or its partners. You agree to:
Exercise due care and diligence in its use and safekeeping;
Refrain from tampering with the card;
Prevent unauthorized use or sharing of the card;
Avoid defacing, damaging, or altering the card; and
Not affix, print, or attach any material to the card or otherwise modify any element of its design.
Each BilderPay Card shall remain valid until the expiry date indicated on the App, unless earlier terminated. If the card is used within one (1) month before its expiry, the Group will notify you via email of its intention to automatically renew the card. The Group may impose a renewal fee, which may be debited from your Wallet Balance, Smart Contract Vault Balance, or Virtual Account Balance, deducted during settlement of your Card Balances, or otherwise charged separately. These Terms shall continue to apply to any renewed card. If you do not wish to renew the card, you must notify the Group via the App or by email.
You are solely responsible for all transactions carried out using your BilderPay Card, including any arising from loss, theft, or misuse. You agree not to use the card for any unlawful purpose or in contravention of Applicable Law. You accept full liability for any unauthorized use of the BilderPay Card, regardless of whether such use was with or without your knowledge or consent.
You shall keep your BilderPay Card details (“Card Data”) strictly confidential and must not disclose them except as necessary to complete legitimate transactions. You agree to take all reasonable precautions when sharing Card Data, including refraining from transmitting such data via unsecure channels (e.g., email, fax, unencrypted media). Neither the Group nor its affiliates shall be liable for unauthorized transactions resulting from your failure to maintain the confidentiality and security of Card Data.
You agree to immediately notify the Group upon becoming aware of:
Any unauthorized or inappropriate use or disclosure of your PIN or Card Data; and/or
Any unauthorized access to or use of the Services using your PIN or Card Data.
You shall follow all instructions provided by the Group in response, including updating your PIN and other security credentials where required.
In the event of a dispute concerning the validity of any Card Transaction, you must notify the Group via email without undue delay, and in any case no later than sixty (60) days from the date of the disputed transaction. Upon receipt, the Group will either assist in resolving the dispute or forward your request to the relevant Merchant or Card Network for further processing.
You must comply with the applicable Card Network Rules in connection with any dispute or Chargeback request. This may include the submission of:
A written explanation of the dispute;
A copy of the sales receipt or transaction record; and
Any additional documentation or information reasonably requested by the Group and/or the Card Network.
The Group reserves the right to investigate any disputed transaction. In the course of such investigation, you agree to cooperate fully by providing any information or documents requested by the Group or relevant authorities.
If it is reasonably determined that the disputed transaction was the result of your willful misconduct, fraud, or negligence, or was otherwise compliant with these Terms, you authorize the Group to deduct the disputed amount, including any applicable charges or fees, from your Custodian Account(s), Smart Contract Vault (via Smart Contract), or Virtual Account.
Any fees imposed by the Group and/or the Card Network in connection with the processing of a dispute or Chargeback request may be deducted from your Wallet Balance, Smart Contract Vault Balance, or Virtual Account Balance (as applicable), or otherwise charged to you. Such fees shall be non-refundable under all circumstances.
You acknowledge and agree that:
The Group and/or the relevant Card Network may, but are under no obligation to, assist with or process a Chargeback request; and
The decisions of the Group and/or the Card Network concerning any Chargeback or related dispute shall be final, binding, and conclusive, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Card Network Rules or guidelines.
You further acknowledge that any reversal of a charge to your BilderPay Card is subject to the relevant Card Network’s applicable rules, procedures, and conditions.
Under no circumstances shall the Group or the Card Network be liable to you for any loss or claim arising out of or in connection with a Chargeback request or related dispute.
The BilderPay Card operates as a credit card and is classified as such under the laws and regulations of Hong Kong. Your usage of the BilderPay Card is therefore subject to the credit limit and other Card Limits determined by the Group. In other jurisdictions, the classification of the BilderPay Card may differ in accordance with local law. Such classification shall not affect the functionality or operational terms of the BilderPay Card.
The BilderPay Card is accepted only by Merchants that participate in the applicable Card Network. The Group will not approve any transaction that exceeds your assigned credit limit or other applicable Card Limits.
You may use your BilderPay Card to make purchases either online or at point-of-sale (POS) terminals that accept such cards. To complete a transaction, you must follow the instructions provided by the relevant Merchant or terminal, which may require input of your card number, expiry date, CVC code, or PIN.
The Group may, at its sole and absolute discretion, offer certain benefits to BilderPay Card users from time to time. The Group reserves the right to introduce new benefits, modify existing benefits, or withdraw any benefit at any time without prior notice. The Group may also determine, limit, or exclude which Accounts are eligible for such benefits.
Card benefits may include, but are not limited to:
Mobile or contactless payment functionality;
Loyalty rewards, cashback, or other privileges;
Instalment payment plans for purchases from designated Merchants;
Any additional benefits as may be communicated by the Group.
Certain benefits may require you to submit a separate application in order to be eligible. The Group may impose specific eligibility criteria or additional terms and conditions in respect of such benefits.
You may use your BilderPay Card to withdraw cash at ATMs that accept such cards (“ATM Withdrawal Services”). You must follow the on-screen instructions at the ATM, which may include entering your BilderPay Card PIN. All such withdrawals are subject to limits as prescribed by the Group or the ATM provider.
ATM Withdrawals may be subject to fees imposed by the Group, which may be amended from time to time at the Group’s sole discretion without prior notice. Third-party ATM operators may also impose their own fees, which are beyond the control of the Group and for which the Group assumes no liability.
The Group shall not be liable to you or any third party for any loss, damage, or liability (including tax consequences) arising from or in connection with the use of ATM Withdrawal Services, including any associated digital asset or currency conversions.

You are not a citizen or permanent resident of Singapore;
You are not ordinarily resident in Singapore;
You do not maintain any habitual residence, legal domicile, or business operations in Singapore; and
You are not acting on behalf of any Singapore resident or entity.
You agree to promptly notify the Group in the event of any change to your residency or citizenship status that would render the above representations inaccurate or misleading.
You acknowledge and agree that:
The BilderPay Card, the Services, the Custodian's wallet services, the Smart Contract Vault, and the App (collectively, the "BilderPay Offering") may be subject to regulatory requirements in various jurisdictions;
You are accessing, registering for, and using the BilderPay Offering entirely on your own initiative and not as a result of any direct or indirect solicitation, marketing, or promotion carried out by the Group, its affiliates, agents, or representatives;
Neither the Group nor any of its affiliates, partners, or related parties have conducted, nor shall be deemed to have conducted, any regulated activity in Singapore in relation to your use of the BilderPay Offering.
You acknowledge that the Singapore Card is categorized and operates as a debit card, and is issued by the Group as part of its Card Issuance Services in accordance with the requirements of the relevant Card Network and applicable Singapore regulatory framework. The Singapore Card does not constitute or operate as a credit facility or credit product under Singapore law.
The Singapore Card may be used by you, subject to the applicable limits and fees, for:
The purchase of goods and services at merchants worldwide that accept cards issued under the relevant Card Network; and
Cash withdrawals from ATMs located outside of Singapore that are compatible with the relevant Card Network, subject to availability and applicable terms.
All such usage shall be subject to these Terms and any specific terms imposed by the Card Network, ATM operators, or relevant financial institutions.
You understand and agree that:
The Group reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without liability, to suspend, revoke, or decline to issue a Singapore Card to any user if it becomes aware that such user is or has become a Singapore citizen, resident, or is otherwise ineligible;
You remain solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Singapore Card and the BilderPay Offering complies with the laws, regulations, and tax obligations of your country of residence;
The Group shall not be liable for any consequences arising from your breach of local legal or regulatory requirements in connection with the Singapore Card.
If you use a Self-Custody Wallet in conjunction with the Services, including the BilderPay Card, you acknowledge and agree that the Group shall have no access to or control over the virtual assets contained in your Self-Custody Wallet, except as expressly provided under these Terms. You may, at your discretion, designate specific Acceptable Tokens (the "Locked Tokens") to be held in a Smart Contract Vault for the purpose of securing settlement obligations in connection with Card Transactions. You hereby authorize the Smart Contract to automatically deduct Locked Tokens from your Smart Contract Vault to settle any Card Balances or related charges in accordance with these Terms.
Following the successful completion of all required know-your-customer (KYC) and other due diligence checks, you may designate Locked Tokens in your Self-Custody Wallet to be secured in the Smart Contract Vault. Upon the occurrence of a Card Transaction or other authorized transaction under the Services, you authorize the Smart Contract to deduct the corresponding amount of Locked Tokens from your Smart Contract Vault to satisfy:
The purchase price or consideration; and
Any associated fees, taxes, or charges as may be determined by the Group at its sole discretion.
You acknowledge that the Group has no control over the virtual assets maintained in your Self-Custody Wallet and assumes no responsibility for the custody, management, or security of such assets. You remain solely responsible for securing and managing your Self-Custody Wallet and its contents.
The Smart Contract Vault:
Does not constitute a debit card or banking facility;
Is not linked to any savings or checking account; and
Will not accrue or pay any interest on virtual assets held therein.
The Smart Contract Vault is not a deposit account. Virtual assets locked in the Smart Contract Vault are not protected under the Deposit Protection Scheme established pursuant to the Deposit Protection Scheme Ordinance (Cap. 581) in Hong Kong.
You remain fully responsible for managing and securing your Self-Custody Wallet. However, you acknowledge that Locked Tokens within the Smart Contract Vault may be frozen, converted, and deducted for settlement purposes through automated execution by the Smart Contract, in accordance with these Terms.
You represent, warrant, and agree that:
The Group may unilaterally amend or modify the Smart Contract or Smart Contract Vault arrangement as necessary for operational, security, legal, or compliance reasons;
The Group does not act as a trustee, fiduciary, or escrow agent in respect of the Locked Tokens;
You authorize the Group to freeze, convert, and deduct Locked Tokens through the Smart Contract as necessary to fulfil obligations under these Terms;
All assets designated as Locked Tokens are legally and beneficially owned by you, originate from lawful sources, and comply with all Applicable Law.
When using the Smart Contract Vault:
Locking of Assets: You consent to the locking of specified Tokens in the Smart Contract Vault to secure future transactions. These assets are inaccessible for other purposes while locked.
Automatic Execution: Upon a Card Transaction or other Service usage, the Smart Contract will automatically freeze and deduct the equivalent value of Locked Tokens to settle the relevant obligations.
Control: The Group retains no access to or control over your Self-Custody Wallet, except as to Locked Tokens governed by the Smart Contract.
User Understanding: You confirm that you understand and accept the operational and technical mechanics of the Smart Contract, including all associated costs and obligations.
The Group reserves the right to modify the Smart Contract at any time, including for purposes of improving functionality, addressing security concerns, or ensuring compliance with Applicable Law. Continued use of the Services following any such amendment shall constitute your acceptance of the revised Smart Contract.
Subject to full settlement of all outstanding Card Balances, fees, and related charges, you may request to terminate the control of the Smart Contract over specific Locked Tokens. Following such termination, the relevant tokens will be released, net of any blockchain or network-related fees.
The Group may provide eligible users with access to a Virtual Account, which functions as a sub-ledger within the Group’s main account ("BilderPay Main Account") maintained with a licensed Virtual Account Service Provider. Users may deposit fiat currency into their Virtual Account to conduct transactions with the Group, including:
Settlement of Card Balances;
ATM cash withdrawals; and
Execution of Swap Transactions.
While all fiat funds are pooled in the BilderPay Main Account, your Virtual Account:
Will be recorded and tracked separately in the Group’s internal ledger;
Will remain segregated from the Group’s own proprietary funds;
Shall not be accessible to satisfy any obligation unrelated to your specific account.
The Group maintains records attributing specific Virtual Account Deposits to you, and your balance does not confer rights to funds associated with other users’ Virtual Accounts.
The Group maintains a contractual relationship with the Virtual Account Service Provider for the secure custody and management of fiat deposits. You acknowledge that:
The Group is not a bank and does not provide banking services;
Your deposits are subject to systemic, operational, regulatory, and cybersecurity risks;
You accept these risks and waive any claims against the Group in respect of failures or breaches by the Virtual Account Service Provider.
The Group may issue instructions to the Virtual Account Service Provider to:
Freeze, convert, or transfer Virtual Account Deposits for purposes of fulfilling your obligations;
Settle Card Balances or other transaction types described in these Terms.
The Service Provider shall be bound to act upon such instructions.
The Group may appoint, replace, or engage additional Virtual Account Service Providers at its sole discretion. You hereby authorize the Group to transfer your Virtual Account Deposits to any newly appointed provider as necessary for continued provision of the Services.
The Virtual Account Service Provider is solely responsible for safeguarding your deposits. The Group and its affiliates shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or liabilities (including tax implications) resulting from the actions or omissions of the Service Provider.
No interest shall accrue or be payable on Virtual Account Deposits maintained in the Virtual Account.
You acknowledge that your Virtual Account Deposits will be managed by the Group in accordance with these Terms, for purposes including transaction facilitation, security, and compliance with Applicable Law.
The Virtual Account is not a deposit account, and the funds held therein are not covered by the Deposit Protection Scheme under the Deposit Protection Scheme Ordinance (Cap. 581) in Hong Kong.
You represent and warrant that:
The Group may revise the operational structure of the Virtual Account or BilderPay Main Account;
The Group does not serve as trustee, fiduciary, or escrow agent in respect of your Virtual Account Deposits;
You authorize the Group to act on your behalf in administering such deposits;
You are not a party to the Group’s contract with the Virtual Account Service Provider and have no rights thereunder; and
All Virtual Account Deposits originate from lawful sources and comply with all Applicable Law.
To deposit virtual assets into your Smart Contract Vault, you must comply with the instructions provided through the App, Site, or Smart Contract interface. Only Acceptable Tokens shall be permitted for such deposits.
The Group reserves the right to conduct KYC, KYT, AML/CTF, and other regulatory or risk-related checks with respect to all deposits and transactions involving the Smart Contract Vault. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and timely information upon request.
The Group may, in its sole discretion and pursuant to these Terms, freeze part or all of your assets in the Smart Contract Vault. While frozen, you shall have no access to, or ability to transact with, the affected assets.
You represent and warrant that:
All virtual assets deposited into the Smart Contract Vault are legally and beneficially owned by you;
Such assets are free of liens, encumbrances, or disputes;
The assets are not derived from any illegal activity.
The Group reserves the right to refuse any deposit into the Smart Contract Vault if:
The assets are suspected to be illicit or non-compliant;
Compliance or due diligence checks are incomplete or unsatisfactory.
You acknowledge the Group’s legal obligation to report suspicious activities to regulatory authorities and agree to cooperate fully in the event of any investigation.
You bear full responsibility for ensuring only Acceptable Tokens are deposited. Assets that do not qualify as Acceptable Tokens may be irretrievably lost, and the Group shall bear no responsibility for such loss.
To deposit fiat currency (“Virtual Account Deposits”) into your Virtual Account, you must strictly follow the instructions provided through the App or the Site. Only such deposits that constitute Acceptable Virtual Account Deposits, as defined by the Group, shall be valid for credit to your Virtual Account.
Both the Group and, where applicable, the Virtual Account Service Provider, reserve the right to perform enhanced due diligence measures, including know-your-customer (KYC), know-your-transaction (KYT), anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) screening in respect of all Virtual Account Deposits and related transactions. You agree to promptly provide all requested information and documentation to facilitate such compliance reviews.
The Group may, at its sole discretion and in accordance with these Terms, freeze part or all of the Virtual Account Deposits in your Virtual Account. During such period, the affected funds shall be inaccessible and unavailable for withdrawal or transaction purposes until the freeze is lifted.
You represent and warrant that all Virtual Account Deposits made by you:
Are legally and beneficially owned by you;
Are free of any lien, encumbrance, or third-party claim; and
Are not derived from or connected to any unlawful activity.
The Group and/or the Virtual Account Service Provider may, at their sole discretion, reject any deposit into your Virtual Account, particularly in cases involving suspicious or potentially unlawful activity, or where due diligence checks cannot be satisfactorily completed.
You acknowledge that both the Group and the Virtual Account Service Provider are legally obligated to report any suspicious activities or transactions to the appropriate regulatory or governmental authorities. You agree to fully cooperate with all related investigations and disclosure obligations.
You bear sole responsibility for ensuring that only Acceptable Virtual Account Deposits are transferred to your Virtual Account. Any transfer of non-permissible assets may result in irreversible loss, for which neither the Group nor the Virtual Account Service Provider shall bear any liability.
Subject to the absence of any applicable freeze or restriction, you may request the release of virtual assets from your Smart Contract Vault. You may also transfer such assets to another Custodian Account or Smart Contract Vault operated by another user, in accordance with these Terms and any relevant instructions as set out via the App, Site, or Smart Contract interface.
You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any destination wallet address provided. The Group shall bear no liability for any loss, damage, or liability (including tax consequences) arising from inaccurate or incompatible withdrawal or transfer instructions.
You are responsible for any blockchain network fees or other transaction-related charges associated with a release or transfer of virtual assets from your Smart Contract Vault. Such fees may be deducted directly from your Vault balance or otherwise charged to you.
The Group reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to decline any request to release or transfer assets from the Smart Contract Vault, including where necessary to ensure compliance with Applicable Law or internal policy.
Withdrawals and transfers from your Smart Contract Vault are subject to such limits (including daily, monthly, or per-transaction thresholds) as the Group may establish or amend from time to time.
You may request withdrawal of fiat funds (i.e., Virtual Account Deposits) from your Virtual Account to a bank or similar financial institution account in your own name. Such withdrawals may be processed:
Directly by the Virtual Account Service Provider; or
Through a Third-Party Payment Provider, selected at the Group’s sole discretion.
Unless otherwise approved by the Group, withdrawals to third-party recipients are not permitted.
Withdrawals are facilitated by the Group solely for your convenience. However, the actual withdrawal service is provided by the Virtual Account Service Provider or Third-Party Payment Provider, who act as direct service providers to you. The Group’s role is limited to integrating the App and Services with those third parties to enable withdrawal functionality. You understand that all withdrawal instructions are ultimately directed to and executed by those providers.
You consent to the sharing of your personal data and transaction details (including your name, identification data, contact details, recipient information, and transaction amount) between:
The Group;
The Virtual Account Service Provider;
Any relevant financial institution or bank; and
Any applicable Third Party Payment Provider,
for the purpose of effecting and facilitating your withdrawal.
You also consent to the Group transmitting your updated personal information to the Virtual Account Service Provider and/or relevant payment providers whenever changes are made to your records.
Collection, processing, and retention of your personal information by any third-party provider is subject to their respective privacy policies and terms of service. The Group bears no responsibility for the privacy practices of such parties.
By submitting a withdrawal request, you:
Instruct the Virtual Account Service Provider or relevant Third-Party Payment Provider to process the withdrawal; and
Authorize the Group to deduct the requisite amount from your Virtual Account and to instruct the appropriate transfer of funds on your behalf.
You must notify the Group immediately if you become aware of an unauthorized withdrawal from your Virtual Account.
The Group may impose, vary, or remove withdrawal limits, including limits on frequency, amount, or transaction type, at any time.
Your rights and liabilities with respect to withdrawals shall be governed by the applicable terms of the Virtual Account Service Provider and/or Third-Party Payment Provider, as applicable. The Group disclaims all responsibility and liability in relation to deficiencies in third-party services.
If a payment is rejected or returned by a financial institution or provider, the returned funds will be credited back to your Virtual Account.
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Group shall not be liable for any losses or damages incurred in connection with your use of withdrawal services, or any failure, delay, or deficiency in the provision of services by the Virtual Account Service Provider or any Third-Party Payment Provider.
The Group may suspend your ability to access withdrawal services at any time, including in cases of suspected fraudulent, illegal, or non-compliant conduct. Notification of such suspension may be made after the fact, and the Group may notify the relevant provider(s) accordingly.
The Group reserves the right to impose a handling fee for processing withdrawals, in accordance with its prevailing fee schedule. You authorize the Group to deduct such fees from the withdrawal amount or from your Virtual Account Balance.
The Group may amend the terms governing withdrawals at any time by notice. Where applicable, and subject to legal requirements, the Group will provide at least thirty (30) calendar days' prior notice of any material changes affecting fees, liabilities, or obligations. Your continued use of withdrawal services following the effective date of any such change constitutes acceptance.
Subject to the provisions of these Terms, you may request that Virtual Account Deposits be transferred to the Virtual Account of another user who maintains an account with the Group. By doing so, you:
Instruct the Virtual Account Service Provider (via the Group) to process the transaction; and
Authorize the Group to debit the relevant amount from your Virtual Account and credit it to the recipient’s Virtual Account.
Your Wallet Balance held in your Custodian Account(s), your Smart Contract Vault Balance held in the Smart Contract Vault, and your Virtual Account Balance maintained in the Virtual Account (collectively, the “Account Balances”) may each be subject to minimum or maximum thresholds established by the Group and/or the relevant service providers (including the Custodian and Virtual Account Service Provider). Such limits shall be detailed on the App or the Site and may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion of the Group or the relevant third-party service provider.
You hereby expressly authorize the Group, upon the execution of a Card Transaction or any other transaction under the Services, to:
Deduct the relevant amount from any of your Account Balances;
Convert such amounts, as necessary, into stablecoins, fiat currency, or virtual assets, at the prevailing exchange rate determined by the Group; and
Apply such converted or deducted amounts to settle any Card Balances or other obligations arising under the Services.
This authorization includes the use of your Custodian Account(s), Smart Contract Vault (via the Smart Contract), and/or Virtual Account for the satisfaction of obligations including but not limited to: settlement of transactions, payment of service fees, and security deposits required by the BIN Sponsor or other financial counterparties.
You further authorize the Group to deduct from any of your Account Balances such fees, costs, or expenses that the Group may incur in connection with:
Risk management or fraud prevention measures;
Compliance with Applicable Law; or
Other regulatory or administrative actions undertaken in good faith to safeguard your assets or the integrity of the Services.
The Group expressly reserves the right to manage your Account Balances to facilitate the final settlement of any Card Balances or Service-related obligations. Such rights include, without limitation:
Freezing all or part of your assets;
Imposing restrictions on the transfer or conversion of such assets;
Converting assets into one or more stablecoins, fiat currencies, or other virtual assets.
These measures may be taken as deemed necessary by the Group to ensure compliance with these Terms and proper performance of its obligations.
You acknowledge and agree that any deduction or conversion of your Account Balances may incur fees, charges, or other costs, including but not limited to:
Blockchain or network fees;
Third-party processor or service provider charges;
Foreign exchange rate variations and spreads;
Other customary transactional or administrative charges.
Such fees shall be clearly itemized and disclosed, where applicable, through the App or the Site.
The Group will provide you with notice - via the App, email, or the Site - of any action taken to freeze, deduct, or convert your Account Balances. Such notice will include:
The type and amount of assets affected;
The exchange rate or conversion value applied (if applicable); and
Any related fees or deductions incurred.
You accept full and sole responsibility for any and all consequences, liabilities, or losses (including tax liabilities) arising from the deduction, conversion, or freezing of your Account Balances pursuant to this Clause. You acknowledge that the Group shall bear no liability to you or any third party in connection with any such actions, provided that such actions are taken in good faith and in accordance with these Terms.
In addition to the Custodian Account(s), Self-Custody Wallet and Smart Contract Vault, and the Virtual Account, the Group may, at its sole discretion, make available to you certain ancillary services provided by third-party service providers (“Third Party Service Providers”), which may be accessible via the App (“Other Third Party Services”).
These services are facilitated by the Group solely for your convenience. However, you acknowledge that all Other Third Party Services are provided directly by the relevant Third Party Service Provider, and not by the Group.
Where you hold an account with a Third Party Service Provider (“TPSP Account”), you may link and access your TPSP Account through the App and provide instructions in respect of the Other Third Party Services, in lieu of accessing the TPSP Account directly. If you choose to open a TPSP Account via the App, you enter into a direct contractual relationship with the relevant Third Party Service Provider.
The Group acts solely as an integration service provider, facilitating technical access to and interaction with the Third Party Service Providers through the App, but does not itself provide the Other Third Party Services.
By using the Other Third Party Services, whether through an existing or newly created TPSP Account, you expressly authorise the Group to share your personal and transaction information (e.g., name, contact details, identification data, and transaction amounts) with the relevant Third Party Service Provider, as necessary:
To create, link, or update your TPSP Account;
To process transactions initiated through the App;
To comply with the Third Party Service Provider’s operational, regulatory, or technical requirements.
You further agree that updates to your personal information held by the Group may be shared with the relevant Third Party Service Provider for continued service provision.
Collection and use of personal data by any Third Party Service Provider is subject to that party’s privacy policy and terms and conditions. The Group is not responsible for the handling of your data by such third parties.
When you initiate a transaction involving Other Third Party Services via the App:
You instruct either the Group or the Third Party Service Provider (as applicable) to process the transaction;
You authorise the Group to debit or credit your Custodian Account(s), Self-Custody Wallet (subject to the Smart Contract Vault), and/or Virtual Account as required to complete the transaction;
You are responsible for ensuring sufficient funds (in fiat or Acceptable Tokens) are available and that all transaction information is accurate and complete.
The Group is not obligated to process transactions if sufficient funds are unavailable or if doing so would, in its reasonable view, result in regulatory breach or financial risk.
You must immediately notify the Group of any unauthorised transactions related to Other Third Party Services. The Group may impose, vary, or remove limits on transaction amounts, frequency, or features related to such services at its discretion.
Your rights and obligations with respect to any transaction instructions are governed by the terms of the relevant Third Party Service Provider. If a Third Party Service Provider returns any funds to the Group, those funds will be re-credited to your Account.
To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law:
The Group disclaims all liability for losses, damages, or deficiencies arising from your use of, or reliance on, Other Third Party Services;
The Group is not responsible for any errors, delays, or failures in the provision of such services by the Third Party Service Providers;
You acknowledge and accept that the Third Party Service Providers are solely responsible for service performance and outcomes.
The Group reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to Other Third Party Services or any TPSP Account access through the App, with immediate effect and without prior notice, if:
Your Account is suspended or closed;
You are suspected of fraudulent or illegal activity;
Such action is necessary to comply with Applicable Law or the Group’s internal policies.
Suspension or termination of access through the Group does not affect your separate relationship with the Third Party Service Provider. The Group will use reasonable efforts to notify you and/or the Third Party Service Provider following any such action.
The provision of Other Third Party Services shall terminate upon the earliest of:
Closure or termination of your Account;
Suspension of the service for a period exceeding twelve (12) consecutive months (or such other period as the Group may determine);
Termination by notice issued by the Group via the App or other designated communication channels.
You remain liable for all obligations and liabilities accrued prior to such termination.
The Group may charge handling or processing fees for Other Third Party Services as specified in its prevailing fee schedule available via the App or the Site. You authorise the Group to deduct such fees and any associated charges from the relevant transaction proceeds or any of your Accounts.
The Group may amend these terms governing Other Third Party Services at any time by notice. Where required under Applicable Law, at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior notice shall be given for changes affecting fees, your liabilities, or your obligations. Continued use of the services following the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance thereof.

warranty, or undertaking by the Group that such Services or
functionalities will become available to you, or to users
generally, within any specific timeframe or at all.
Regulatory
