At Sling Money, we take compliance and security seriously. Your Sling Wallet is self-custodial, which means you control your own funds and we can't block you from accessing your money. However, adding or withdrawing money on Sling Money is subject to strict regulatory obligations.
From time to time, Sling Money may reach out via the in-app support chat to ask you a few extra questions about your transactions. This is part of keeping your account safe and ensuring we follow financial regulations.
While we review your responses and any additional information you provide, access to certain transaction features may be temporarily delayed.
These reviews usually take between 24 and 48 hours.
At any time, you can export your private key and move your funds elsewhere.
Why we do this
We are required by our regulated partners to verify that your transaction activity falls within our Terms of Service. We perform these checks to ensure that all Sling Money activity is secure and compliant.
Thanks for your patience and for helping us keep Sling Money safe for everyone.
