Frequently asked
Straight answers, before you ask twice.
Everything below describes how the account actually behaves: what it accepts, what it holds, when it pays out and what it will never ask you for.
Who can open a Finlxo account?
Finlxo is open to individuals in supported countries who can complete
an identity check. We currently accept applications from the United
States, United Kingdom and Canada. The country you select during
sign-up must match the identity document you provide.
What do I need to apply?
Your legal name, email address, phone number, date of birth, home
address, a government-issued photo ID (front and back), and a selfie
taken in the sign-up flow. You will also choose a username, password
and security question.
How long does verification take?
Most reviews are completed within one business day. The dashboard
shows whether your account is pending, verified or rejected. If a
document is unclear, the rejection reason will say what needs to be
corrected and you can resubmit.
Can I use Finlxo for my business?
Yes — freelancers, studios and small sellers use the same personal
account. Finlxo does not currently offer company accounts, team
seats or role-based permissions.
Payments
How do I receive a card payment?
Share finlxo.com/u/your-username. The payer enters an
amount, picks USD, EUR or GBP, and completes the card step through
Stripe. You can also prepare an amount yourself and send the resulting
link. When Stripe confirms the charge, the payment appears in your
activity and adds to that currency's balance.
Who chooses the amount and currency?
Either side can start. Your public payment page lets the payer choose
both. You can also enter an amount and currency on your own receive
page and share the prepared URL, which pre-fills the form for them.
What happens if a card is declined?
A declined attempt does not create a successful payment or change your
balance. The payer sees an error in the card field and can try another
card. Only a payment intent confirmed as succeeded by Stripe is
recorded as completed.
Can a payment be refunded?
Refunds are handled with Stripe and reviewed by support. If a payment
is refunded, its status in your activity changes to refunded and the
amount is removed from the available balance. Contact support with the
payment reference to start the conversation.
Is there a minimum payment?
The payment page enforces Stripe's minimum charge for the selected
currency. Small test amounts below that minimum may be rejected by the
card processor before a payment is recorded.
Wallets & balances
Which currencies can I hold?
US dollars (USD), euros (EUR) and British pounds (GBP). Each currency
has its own wallet and its own balance. There is no multi-currency
"converted" total, because conversion is not offered.
Do you convert between currencies?
No. A euro payment stays in your euro wallet. This avoids an exchange
spread and keeps the amount you quoted equal to the amount you hold.
How is my available balance calculated?
For each currency: successful card payments, minus withdrawals that
are pending approval, approved or completed. Rejected and failed
withdrawals do not reduce the balance. A completed payout has already
left the wallet, so it remains deducted.
Does my balance earn interest?
No. Finlxo is a payment wallet, not a savings or investment account.
Balances do not earn interest and are not deposited with a bank as a
savings product.
Is my balance insured?
Finlxo does not present balances as bank deposits and does not make a
deposit-insurance claim. Card processing is provided by Stripe under
its own terms; that is separate from any balance protection.
Verification
Why do I need to verify my identity?
Verification keeps the platform usable for legitimate payments and is
required before a withdrawal can be requested. It also helps match the
person receiving funds with the person named on the account.
What documents do you accept?
A government-issued photo ID — passport, driving licence or national ID
card — photographed front and back, plus a selfie captured in the
sign-up flow. Uploads must be JPEG or PNG and clearly readable.
What happens if my verification is rejected?
The dashboard shows the rejection reason. You can upload corrected
documents from the resubmission page; the account returns to pending
review. You do not need to create a new account.
Who can see my ID documents?
Only authorised administrators reviewing verification. Documents are
not served from a public URL: the upload directory denies direct
access and the viewing route checks the admin role before streaming a
file.
Withdrawals
When can I withdraw?
Once your identity is verified and the wallet has an available
balance. Withdrawals are reviewed manually because crypto transfers
are irreversible, so a request moves through pending approval,
approved and completed.
Which networks do you support?
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Enter the destination address on the
withdraw page and double-check it: a payout sent to the wrong address
cannot be reversed.
What does a withdrawal cost?
Finlxo does not add a withdrawal fee. The blockchain network fee
applies at the time of transfer, set by the network rather than by
Finlxo.
How long does a payout take?
Review normally happens within one business day. Once approved, the
on-chain transfer depends on network conditions. A completed request
keeps its transaction hash so you can verify it independently.
What if my request is rejected?
The amount returns to your available balance and the reason appears on
the request. Nothing is deducted for a rejected request. Fix the
issue described, then submit a new request.
Security
Do you store my card number?
No. Card details are collected by Stripe's card field and never reach
Finlxo's server. Finlxo stores a payment reference and the payment
metadata needed to show the transaction.
How are passwords stored?
Passwords are stored as one-way hashes using PHP's password hashing
API. Security answers for password recovery are hashed as well. No one
at Finlxo can read your password.
How do I report a security issue?
Email security@finlxo.com
with enough detail to reproduce the issue. Please do not access data
that is not yours, and allow a reasonable window for a fix before
public disclosure.
Account
How do I change my password?
Open Profile from the workspace menu and choose Change password. Enter
your current password, then the new one twice. The change takes effect
immediately.
What if I forget my password?
Use "Forgot password?" on the login page. Enter your email, then the
answer to the security question you chose at sign-up. If the answer
matches, you can set a new password.
How do I close my account?
Write to support from the email on the account. We will confirm the
available balance and any pending payout before closing. Records
required for legal or accounting purposes may be retained after
closure.
Why is my account suspended?
Suspensions are used for suspected fraud, abuse, a failed review or a
legal requirement. The login screen will say the account is suspended;
contact support to ask about the next step. Access to funds is handled
case by case and is not removed without a review.
One more question?
Ask it directly.
Send a note and a person will read it. No ticket maze, no chatbot loop.
