Verdict

B D ★ 3.0/5 ★ 1.1/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Custodial model: funds are held with licensed partners, not by the user. PEXX Technology Pty Ltd is AUSTRAC-registered as a DCE and remittance dealer and as a FinCEN MSB. Partial protection: verifiable regulation but no bank-grade fund segregation.

Low sovereignty: custody delegated to partners, mandatory full KYC and dependence on Visa/Mastercard rails. The user does not control the keys and funds are exposed to counterparty risk.
