DogPayCard
Direct answer: The financial institution provides and approves the business account and sets its terms, while DogPay operates the digital finance and payment infrastructure platform used to apply and, after approval, access available account features. Virtual-asset conversion, stablecoin settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided separately by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers under provider terms. This quick-reference guide maps each role to the decisions it owns, so finance teams know who to ask when a question arises. It uses only the approved DogPay product information and does not describe any third-party integration, fee, speed or coverage.
Role boundary 1: the financial institution owns the account The relevant financial institution provides and independently approves each account. Its opening documents determine the account type, the account holder and the terms that apply. That means questions about eligibility, account conditions, permitted activity and the contractual relationship sit with the institution, not the platform. Practical rule: if a question changes what the account legally is or who holds it, route it to the financial institution.
Role boundary 2: DogPay operates the platform layer DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform, not the financial institution that provides a business account. Businesses may apply online for a US-dollar business account and Hong Kong or Singapore multi-currency business account options. The platform is the application and access layer; it does not approve accounts. After approval, available account features may include international collections, cross-border payments, currency management, transaction records, reconciliation and reporting. Actual currencies, payment rails and functions depend on the institution, the account, the product and the jurisdiction. Practical rule: if a question is about how you apply, or which features are exposed on an approved account, start with the platform and confirm specifics against the account documents.
Role boundary 3: affiliates provide virtual-asset services USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement, and crypto payment gateway services, are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers. These are subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability. They are distinct from the account relationship and from the platform layer. Practical rule: if a question concerns stablecoin conversion, settlement or crypto payment acceptance, it belongs with the affiliate provider and its terms, not with the account-issuing institution.
Quick-reference matrix: question to responsible role Use these rows as copy-ready routing fields in an internal payments handbook. Who approves the account? Financial institution. Who sets account type, holder and terms? Financial institution, via opening documents. Where does the online application happen? DogPay platform. Who decides which features appear on an approved account? Depends on institution, account, product and jurisdiction. Who provides stablecoin conversion or settlement? DogPay affiliates, for eligible customers. Who provides crypto payment gateway services? DogPay affiliates, subject to provider terms and availability. Who confirms whether ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire applies? The relevant institution and the account and service arrangement. Who confirms fees, exchange rates, speed or coverage? The relevant financial institution or service provider.
Payment rails: a conditional boundary, not a promise USD transfers may use ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them. The platform does not create rail availability by itself, and no route should be assumed for a given account. Confirm rail support with the financial institution before designing a workflow around it.
What no role guarantees No account approval, payment acceptance, fee, exchange rate, speed, coverage or business outcome is guaranteed by any party described here. Treat every operational plan as conditional on approval and on the terms that actually apply to your account.
FAQ Is DogPay a bank? No. DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform; the relevant financial institution provides and approves the account. Who decides if my business is approved? The financial institution approves each account independently. The platform supports the online application but does not grant approval. Are stablecoin services part of my business account? USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, law and geographical availability. Can I assume ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire will be available? No. USD transfers may use those rails only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them; confirm with the institution.
