Regulations for International Users

Our platform welcomes users from around the world and provides services that comply with global financial regulations. However, depending on your location, you may be subject to specific laws and restrictions regarding the use of virtual cards and online financial services. This section provides an overview of important regulations international users should be aware of when using our platform.

Key Considerations for International Users

Compliance with Local Laws:

• While our platform adheres to international standards, users are responsible for ensuring that their use of the platform complies with the laws of their country. This includes understanding regulations related to virtual cards, foreign exchange controls, and cross-border payments.

Cross-Border Transactions:

• International users frequently make cross-border transactions, which may involve different currencies and be subject to additional fees or regulations. Our platform handles currency conversion and cross-border payments in accordance with the local regulations of the transaction destination.

AML and Sanctioned Countries:

• As part of our commitment to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance, we do not support transactions with countries that are under international sanctions. Users from sanctioned countries may be restricted from using certain services on the platform. Additionally, transactions to or from these countries will be blocked to ensure compliance with global financial regulations.

Currency Conversion and International Fees

Currency Conversion:

• When making transactions in a currency different from your virtual card’s default currency, currency conversion will occur automatically at the current exchange rate. Users should be aware that fluctuating exchange rates can affect the final charge on their card.

Cross-Border Transaction Fees:

• Depending on the nature of your transactions, you may encounter cross-border transaction fees, especially for payments made in foreign currencies. These fees are typically imposed by the issuing bank or financial institution involved in processing the transaction.

Foreign Exchange Controls:

• Some countries have restrictions on foreign exchange transactions or require approval from regulatory bodies before cross-border payments can be made. Ensure that your transactions comply with the foreign exchange regulations of your home country.

Regulatory Restrictions for Certain Countries

Sanctioned Countries:

• Due to international sanctions, we do not provide services to users or facilitate transactions involving countries on the sanctions list. These restrictions are implemented to comply with global regulations and ensure that our platform is not used for illicit activities.

Restricted Countries:

• Users from countries subject to economic or financial sanctions will not be able to use the platform. Additionally, users attempting to send payments to sanctioned countries will have those transactions blocked.

High-Risk Jurisdictions:

• In some regions considered high-risk for financial crimes (such as money laundering or terrorism financing), additional scrutiny may be applied to transactions. Users from these jurisdictions may experience delays in transaction processing or face limitations on certain services.

Tax and Reporting Obligations

International users are responsible for ensuring that their use of virtual cards and online financial services complies with their local tax laws. In some cases, your transactions or virtual card balances may need to be reported to your home country’s tax authority. Here’s what to consider:

Tax Reporting:

• Depending on your country’s laws, you may be required to report income, expenses, or balances associated with your virtual card to the tax authorities. It’s important to keep accurate records of your transactions for tax purposes.

Transaction Documentation:

• Our platform provides transaction records that can assist you in meeting your reporting obligations. If you need a formal statement of your transactions, you can request a report by contacting our support team.

Avoid Restricted Transactions:

• Do not attempt to make transactions with sanctioned countries or through financial institutions that do not comply with global AML standards. Such attempts will result in the blocking of your transactions and may lead to penalties.
