Question 1

Is HEVN a bank?

Accepted Answer

No. HEVN is not a bank. HEVN is a B2B financial platform that works with licensed banks and EMIs across multiple jurisdictions. Through these partners, we provide named virtual bank accounts and cross-border payments.

Question 2

Where are my funds held, and what happens if HEVN goes out of business?

Accepted Answer

Your funds are held non-custodially in USDC on Base in a wallet provisioned through Privy, a Stripe-owned infrastructure provider. Neither HEVN nor any partner can access, freeze, or move your funds. Only you can. If HEVN goes offline, your USDC balance remains accessible through Privy's recovery flow. Fiat held temporarily in a banking partner's safeguarded account is protected under that partner's regulated safeguarding rules.

Question 3

Which jurisdictions and rails do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support: US: ACH, Wire, and SWIFT UAE: local AED transfers EU: SEPA UK: GBP payments LATAM: local rails in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico By default, we open named virtual bank accounts under your company's name. We also support pooled accounts for faster onboarding. With a pooled account, the IBAN is held in our banking partner's name rather than your company's name.

Question 6

What is the difference between a virtual bank account and a correspondent bank account?

Accepted Answer

Correspondent bank account An account opened directly with a bank. Your company has a direct business relationship with the bank and receives bank-issued account statements. Virtual bank account Personal account details assigned to your company by an EMI partner. Incoming transfers are routed to the EMI partner's master account and credited to your HEVN balance, usually in USDC. You do not have a direct relationship with the bank or receive bank-issued statements. Externally, however, the account details look and work like a standard business account for incoming payments.
