INTRODUCTION
Our Interest Account is a crypto repository account that allows you to earn interest paid in the form of digital assets on the eligible cryptocurrency held in your account. Please read and keep these Account Terms (“Interest Account Terms”). These Interest Account Terms are incorporated by reference into the Quantia Terms of Service.
OUR RELATIONSHIP
In these Terms, holders of a Quantia Interest Account, including owners, employees, agents and affiliates of any business, corporation, partnership or other entity that is, or is considering becoming, an account holder are sometimes referred to as “you” or “your.” Quantia Holding Group LTD is referred to as “Quantia”, “we,” “us” or “our” in these Trading Terms.

Opening a Crypto Interest Account

Anyone residing in a jurisdiction where we offer a Crypto Interest Account and who is at least eighteen (18) years old can apply to open a Crypto Interest Account. Crypto Interest Accounts can be opened at quantia.io or the Quantia app. All crypto received will initially be deposited into an account at one of Quantia’s or its affiliates’ institutional custodians.
-
In order to open your account, we will first verify your identity and require you to provide acceptable forms of identification. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account. We may also ask for your driver’s license or other identifying documents. For business accounts, we may require identification information related to a controlling manager and/or equity owners of your business. You represent and warrant that any and all information provided to us pursuant to these Interest Account Terms or otherwise is true, accurate and not misleading in any respect. If any such information changes, it is your obligation to update such information as soon as possible. Note that we may use credit reports or other information from third parties to help us determine if we should open or maintain your account.
-
Crypto Interest Accounts are not available in any other jurisdiction which we determine we would not be able to or chose not to offer Crypto Interest Accounts. Due to the dynamic nature of regulatory requirements and interpretations in the cryptocurrency market, we reserve the right to update the list of prohibited jurisdictions and reject applications to open accounts that we determine we would be unable to accept for regulatory or policy reasons in our sole and absolute discretion.
-
Your account is not deemed to be opened, and we have no responsibility to you unless and until you have received written (which may be electronic) confirmation from us that your account has been opened. We are not obligated to accept an application from any applicant, and we reserve the right not to open an account for any applicant in our sole and absolute discretion.

How interest is calculated
-
Interest on the Crypto Interest Account is variable. We publish our interest rates on our Website.. Changes to interest rates will be posted or messaged to you before changes are made, typically before the first business day of each month. Our interest rate may be tiered, with specified rates in effect at any time only applied to specific portions of amounts in a Crypto Interest Account. Interest will be payable in arrears and added to the principal in your account on a monthly basis.
-
We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the specified principal in the account on each day. The daily periodic rate is calculated by dividing the applicable interest rate by the number of days in the year. We will determine the interest rates and tiers for each month at our sole discretion, and you acknowledge that your account is not a bank deposit account and such rates may not be equivalent to benchmark interest rates observed in the market for bank deposit accounts.
How interest is paid
Flex Term
We will credit your Crypto Interest Account with the interest earned daily.. All interest will be paid in cryptocurrency. The accrued interest will be calculated and paid to the one hundred millionth of the relevant unit of cryptocurrency. Any digits beyond that will be truncated; balances and interest payments on account statements will be truncated to eight decimal digits (one hundred millionth of a unit).
Fixed Term
The Interest for a fixed term will be credited to your Crypto Interest Account on the date of expiry of the relevant Fixed Term. However, the Interest shall be visible in your Interest Account for the duration of the fixed term for your convenience only.
Withdrawals
-
You may make a complete or partial withdrawal of principal from your Crypto Interest Account at any time with appropriate time notice as stated below. Additionally, before a withdrawal is processed, you may be required to provide certain personally identifiable information so Quantia can verify your identity. Quantia initiates the withdrawal process instantly when possible, and we may require up to seven (7) days after you submit your withdrawal request to process the withdrawal, during which time interest will continue to accrue. Any interest that has accrued but not been credited to your account on a month-end basis is not eligible for withdrawal until the fifth business day of the following month.
-
Withdrawal limits based on frequency and amount may apply from time-to-time
and will be described in your Crypto Interest Account interface and on our Website.

-
We are not liable for special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind.
Risk Disclosure
-
Your Crypto Interest Account is not a checking or savings account, and it is not covered by insurance against losses. We will pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, sell, lend, or otherwise transfer or use funds and cryptocurrency assets to counterparties, and such cryptocurrency assets will be exposed to various risks as a result of such transactions. In certain jurisdictions, cryptocurrency is not legal tender, and is not backed by the government. Your Crypto Interest Account is not registered with any federal or state securities regulatory authority. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of cryptocurrency.
-
Transactions in cryptocurrency may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. If you attempt to transfer assets to an unsupported wallet or using an unsupported network, or if you attempt to transfer assets other than eligible cryptocurrency (including any unsupported digital assets) to your Crypto Interest Account, such assets may be permanently lost. We assume no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any unsupported digital asset or any asset that is transferred using an unsupported network or to an unsupported wallet. Some cryptocurrency transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transaction. The value of cryptocurrency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange government-issued currency for cryptocurrency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular cryptocurrency should the market for that cryptocurrency disappear.
-
There is no assurance that a person who accepts a cryptocurrency as payment today will continue to do so in the future. The volatility and unpredictability of the price of cryptocurrency relative to government-issued currency may result in significant loss over a short period of time. The nature of cryptocurrency may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attack, including rollback attacks or blockchain reorganizations. The nature of cryptocurrency means that any technological difficulties experienced by Quantia may prevent the access or use of a customer’s cryptocurrency. Any bond or trust account maintained by Quantia for the benefit of its customers may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by customers. In light of these risks, you should carefully consider whether holding cryptocurrency in a Quantia account is suitable.
Conflict/Disputes Involving Your Account
-
We are not liable to you for errors that do not result in financial loss to you. We may take any action authorized or permitted by these Interest Account Terms without being liable to you, even if such action causes you to incur fees, expenses or damages.
-
If third parties make claims on your account, or if we receive conflicting instructions from authorized signers, or if we become involved in or concerned about a dispute between you and an authorized signer, we have discretion to act in ways we believe to be appropriate, including by closing your Crypto Interest Account and returning the cryptocurrency in such account. You are liable for all expenses and fees we incur for such conflicts or disputes, including internal costs and attorneys’ fees, and we may charge them to your Crypto Interest Account.
-
Fraudulent activity, including any attempt to withdraw funds that you do not own, did not transfer into your Crypto Interest Account, or did not purchase, is strictly prohibited and may result in the closure of your Crypto Interest Account. Fraudulent activity includes any attempt to take advantage of errors on the Quantia Website, systems, applications, or technology platforms.
Legal Process Affecting Accounts
-
If legal action such as an attachment, garnishment, seizure, liquidation, levy or other state or federal legal process (“legal process”) is brought against your Crypto Interest Account, we may refuse to permit (or may limit) withdrawals or transfers from your account until the legal process is satisfied or dismissed. We may also be required to transfer the assets in your Crypto Interest Account at the behest of governmental authorities pursuant to legal and regulatory actions. Regardless of the terms of such attachment, garnishment, levy or other state or federal process, we have first claim to any and all funds in your account.
-
We will not contest on your behalf any such legal process and may take action to comply with such legal process as we determine to be appropriate in the circumstances without liability to you. If we incur any expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, in connection with any such legal process, we may charge any expenses and fees to your account or any other account you may have with us without prior notice to you, or we may bill you directly for such expenses and fees. Any garnishment, seizure, liquidation, or other levy against your account is subject to our right of setoff and security interest.
Waiver
We may delay or waive any rights we have under these Interest Account Terms. If we delay or waive our rights, you are still obligated to pay us fees and other amounts you may owe us under these Interest Account Terms. Any delay or waiver of our rights applies only to the specific instance in which we decide to delay or waive the provision and does not affect our future rights in any way.
Closing an Account
We have the right to close your Crypto Interest Account at any time for any reason without advance notice. If your account has a balance when we close it, and you provide a valid wallet address to us, we will return the remaining crypto assets to that address, unless prohibited by applicable law. Subject to the following sentence, if we close your Crypto Interest Account, we will pay you the accrued interest earned up to the closing date. However, if we close your Crypto Interest Account because you have breached these Interest Account Terms or the terms of any other agreement between you and us, you will not be entitled to any unpaid interest that may have otherwise accrued to your Crypto Interest Account. We will cooperate with any regulatory or governmental entity’s instructions or requests with regard to your Crypto Interest Account, including freezing it and seizing its assets if mandated.
Liability for Failure to Make Transfers
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Crypto Interest Account(s) or in the correct amount as clearly instructed to us according to these Interest Account Terms, we will be liable for your actual losses or damages, subject to certain exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance: (i) if, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds in your account to make the transfer; (ii) if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; (iii) in the case of preauthorized credits, if the data from the third party is not received, is incomplete or erroneous; (iv) if your Crypto Interest Account is not in an active status; (v) due to legal requirements of regulatory restrictions; (vi) other exceptions stated in these Interest Account Terms or in another agreement with you.
