ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The prohibition covers both direct and indirect illegal use, meaning facilitating illegal activity through the app or card is also prohibited.

Interpretive note: Fraud is cited in the excerpt only as an example of an illegal purpose; it is not a separate independent prohibition and is therefore not listed as omitted material.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Mar 23, 2026

The updated Terms of Service no longer document the Move Money Rules feature, which previously allowed users to set up automatic fund transfers across account pockets or currency exchanges based on custom conditions. The removal of this documentation means users cannot point to the terms as a reference for how this feature operates, what limits apply, or what fees may be charged. If the feature remains available in the app, its operational parameters are no longer formally described in the binding terms document.
