Responsibility splits three ways: the financial institution provides and approves the account, the platform supplies the technical access layer, and affiliates deliver separate services such as stablecoin conversion or crypto payment gateways. Each party is accountable only for its own part, and the account opening documents from the institution define the account itself.
Start with the boundary that matters most The single most important distinction is between holding an account and providing the technology to operate it. DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform, not the financial institution that provides a business account. That sentence resolves most confusion: the platform does not become your account provider, and the institution does not become your software layer.
Role boundaries at a glance Use these boundaries as a scannable reference when you assign internal owners. Financial institution: provides the account, independently approves or declines it, and issues the opening documents that determine account type, holder and terms. It is the party to confirm account-specific questions with. DogPay as platform: the technical and application layer. Businesses may apply online for a US-dollar business account and Hong Kong or Singapore multi-currency business account options. After approval, available features may include international collections, cross-border payments, currency management, transaction records, reconciliation and reporting. DogPay affiliates: provide USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability.
What the platform does not decide Applying through a platform does not transfer approval authority to the platform. The relevant financial institution provides and independently approves each account. Actual currencies, payment rails and functions depend on the institution, the account, the product and the jurisdiction. USD transfers may use ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them, so rail availability is an account-level question rather than a platform promise.
Where affiliate services sit Stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are affiliate-provided, not part of the account itself. They carry their own provider terms, legal conditions and geographical limits. Treat them as a separate service relationship with its own eligibility checks, and confirm details with the affiliate provider rather than assuming they attach automatically to an approved account.
Assigning internal ownership Finance typically owns the institution relationship, document accuracy and reconciliation review. Operations or technology owns platform access, user permissions and reporting workflows. Treasury or a designated owner should track affiliate service terms separately. No account approval, payment acceptance, fee, exchange rate, speed, coverage or business outcome is guaranteed, so build review points rather than assumptions into each owner's checklist.
