The financial institution is responsible for providing and approving the account and setting its terms; the platform is responsible for the application and coordination layer it actually operates; affiliate services are responsible for the specific services they provide under their own terms. No single party is responsible for everything, so the practical answer is to map each function to the party that owns it in writing.
Start with the boundary: who holds the account relationship DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform, not the financial institution that provides a business account. The relevant financial institution provides and independently approves each account, and its opening documents determine the account type, the account holder and the terms. That means the institution, not the platform, owns the account relationship and the approval decision. For a finance team, the first responsibility question is therefore simple: read the account opening documents and identify which institution is named. Everything about account type, holder and terms flows from that document, not from a platform description.
Role boundaries at a glance Use these rows as a quick reference when assigning ownership internally and when checking what a provider has actually committed to. Account provision and approval. Financial institution. The institution provides and independently approves the account; no approval is guaranteed. Account type, holder and terms. Financial institution. These are determined by the opening documents. Application and coordination layer. Platform. Businesses may apply online for a US-dollar business account and Hong Kong or Singapore multi-currency business account options. Available account features after approval. Depends on the institution, account, product and jurisdiction. Features may include international collections, cross-border payments, currency management, transaction records, reconciliation and reporting. USD payment rails. Determined by the account and service arrangement. USD transfers may use ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them. Stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services. DogPay affiliates, to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability. Fees, exchange rates, speed and coverage. Not guaranteed by any party; confirm the applicable terms with the institution or service provider.
What the platform is and is not responsible for The platform's responsibility is limited to what it actually operates. In DogPay's case that includes the online application route for the account options described on its product page. It does not become the account provider by offering that route. Two practical consequences follow. First, a platform statement that an account option exists is not an approval, and it is not a promise about currencies, rails or functions. Second, when a question concerns account terms, the answer sits with the institution. When a question concerns stablecoin conversion or settlement or crypto payment gateway services, the answer sits with the DogPay affiliate that provides them, under that provider's terms.
What affiliate-provided services cover USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers. Eligibility, provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability all apply. These are separate services with their own responsible party, not an extension of the account relationship. Finance teams should record which entity provides each service they use, because escalation paths and contractual terms differ between the institution and the affiliate.
How to verify responsibility before you rely on it Confirm the named institution in the opening documents. Confirm which entity provides any stablecoin or gateway service in that provider's terms. Confirm the currencies, payment rails and functions available on your specific account rather than assuming them from a general description. Where any of this is outside the approved facts, confirm it directly with the relevant financial institution or service provider.
