FAQ

Your security questions, answered

Are crypto-backed loans safe with APX?

Yes. APX is a CSA-approved crypto lender, FINTRAC registered in Canada, and FinCEN registered in the U.S.. We are SOC 2 attested and run annual penetration tests. These safeguards mean your crypto loan is backed by the same standards regulators require of financial institutions.

Where is my collateral stored?

Your Bitcoin or Ethereum is held in segregated BitGo Trust cold storage wallets with multi-sig security. These wallets are never co-mingled or re-lent, and are insured for up to $250M underwritten by Lloyd’s of London. You can also verify your holdings on-chain in real time.

How does APX protect my data?

We adhere to SOC 2 standards for data security, meaning your personal and financial information is handled under rigorous controls. Regular third-party penetration tests ensure our systems remain secure against vulnerabilities.

What happens if the market drops and my LTV ratio rises?

Your loan-to-value ratio is updated in real time. At 80%, you’ll receive an alert. Only if your LTV exceeds 90% will collateral be partially liquidated to protect your position.
