Your Sling Wallet is self-custodial
This means you control your money and we can't block you from accessing it. You can export your private key and move your money elsewhere at any time.
Adding or withdrawing money on Sling Money is subject to strict regulatory obligations
From time to time, we 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 making sure 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.
Why we do this
We're required by our regulated partners to verify that your transaction activity falls within our Terms of Service. We perform these checks to make sure that all Sling Money activity is secure and compliant.
🚨 Important
If you send stablecoins directly to your Primary Wallet without using a Transfer Wallet, you may lose access to making transfers on Sling Money.
If a transfer is found to be outside of Sling Money’s risk appetite, we may suggest that you:
Send the money back, or
Export your Transfer Wallet’s private key and manage it using another compatible wallet app
We monitor cross-border transactions
If a transaction involves a sanctioned country, individual, or organization, it may be flagged, blocked, or reported in line with legal requirements.
Attempting to send or receive money in violation of sanctions may lead to account restrictions or regulatory action.
