Banking
π Do I need to create a Vault to use banking?
Nope. You can use banking directly with your own wallet. That said β if you want more protection (multi-sig, seedless, AI co-signers), using your Locked Money Vault is a great upgrade.
πͺͺ What KYC is required?
To activate banking, you'll need to:
Sign in with your wallet
Submit basic identity details (no passport required)
Upload proof of address
Add your bank account information
KYC is quick to complete, and typically approved much faster than centralized exchanges.
π How long does KYC take?
It usually takes just a few minutes to complete. Approval may take a few hours to a few days β but never weeks. You'll be notified once you're verified and ready to go.
πΈ Whatβs the transaction limit?
You can send up to $500,000 per transaction β with no limit on how many transactions you can make. Thatβs one of the highest limits available for retail crypto users
π° What are the fees?
Locked Money charges a flat 1.5% fee per transfer. No hidden fees, no sketchy FX markups. Just one clear, competitive rate.
π Can I do both on-ramp and off-ramp?

Convert fiat from your bank into crypto (on-ramp)

All directly from your wallet or Vault. No centralized exchange required.
