You're responsible for keeping your account credentials safe. You must provide accurate identity information; we may require additional verification at any time to meet our regulatory obligations.

4. Fees

The standard fee is one U.S. dollar ($1.00) per transaction. Volume rates, FX rates, and special-route surcharges are documented in your order form. Fees are non-refundable except where the transaction itself is reversed.

5. Settlement & reversal

Transactions settle subject to availability of funds, sanctions screening, and our risk policies. We may delay, reverse, or refuse any transaction we reasonably believe to be unauthorized, fraudulent, or non-compliant.
