Regulated under Ghana's Act 1154 — Bank of Ghana & SEC. How your money is protected →
✦ Security & compliance

How your money stays safe.
In plain language.

Your money should be safe, and you should be able to see exactly how it's protected. StarPay guards every account, screens every trade, and tracks every cedi and every token. We explain it in plain language because trust should never be hidden behind jargon.

Defense in layers

Six layers between your money and anything going wrong.

01 · Identity

Verified businesses

Every business has its identity and ownership checked (KYB) before it can trade — so the counterparty on the other side of a trade is who they say they are.

02 · Access

More than a password

Two-factor sign-in, per-device verification, and — for businesses on the API — scoped keys, signed requests and optional IP allow-lists.

03 · Movement

Every trade is screened

We screen every trade for compliance the moment it happens, on- and off-chain. Anything unusual is paused for a person to review.

04 · Record

Every cedi & token accounted for

Every movement is recorded on both sides of a double-entry ledger, and the two sides always match. Your money is always in exactly one place.

05 · Rails

Always-on settlement

Every cedi rail runs on more than one provider, switched automatically. One network having a bad day never becomes your outage.

06 · Treasury

Institutional custody

Each business gets its own deposit address; deposits confirm on-chain, then sweep into Cobo's institutional custody. Our master wallet is never shown.

Licensed & regulated

Regulation as the standard.

Stablecoin and crypto services operate under authorisation by the Bank of Ghana and the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025 (Act 1154).

We treat regulation as the standard, not a hurdle. Being properly licensed matters more than launching fast.
