FAQs
Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
You could lose all the money you invest
- The performance of most cryptoassets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in cryptoassets.
- The cryptoasset market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money or any cryptoassets you purchase due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and firm failure.
You should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong
- The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) doesn’t protect this type of investment because it’s not a ‘specified investment’ under the UK regulatory regime – in other words, this type of investment isn’t recognised as the sort of investment that the FSCS can protect. Learn more by using the FSCS investment protection checker here.
- [The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will not be able to consider complaints related to this firm] or [Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCAregulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it.] Learn more about FOS protection here.
You may not be able to sell your investment when you want to
- There is no guarantee that investments in cryptoassets can be easily sold at any given time. The ability to sell a cryptoasset depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at that time.
- Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay and you may be unable to sell your cryptoassets at the time you want.
Cryptoasset investments can be complex
- Investments in cryptoassets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment.
- You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
- Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.
- A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments – click here to learn more.

Do I need to have a Ledger wallet to get my card?
You don’t need a Ledger wallet to get or use the Crypto Life Card. However, if you want to enhance the security of your Crypto Life Card user experience, we highly recommend using your Crypto Life Card with your Ledger wallet. By combining your Ledger wallet with the Ledger Live app, you can seamlessly and securely move your assets between your Ledger wallet and the Crypto Life Card, taking advantage of Ledger’s unique digital security ecosystem.
What does Powered by Ledger stand for?
The Crypto Life Platform is provided by Frozen Time Unipessoal LDA, registered by Banco de Portugal to provide Crypto Asset Services, supported by it’s partner Baanx.com Ltd who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide Crypto Asset Services.
Powered by Ledger stands next to its name because the card is fully integrated with Ledger’s ecosystem. You can create a Crypto Life account in Ledger Live and move assets seamlessly and securely between your Ledger wallet and the card.
Can I use my crypto as collateral?
Yes. You can use Cryptodraft or Stableloan and open a line of credit to spend on your card.
Can I earn cashback with my Crypto Life Card?
When you spend with your Crypto Life Card, you can earn rewards according to our loyalty program.
To enable the loyalty program, you first need to select the crypto you want to receive cashback in — currently available in BTC, USDT, and BXX. The reward amount will be calculated based on all the completed transactions you’ve made with your card, excluding transactions funded by Cryptodraft.
You can receive your cashback rewards to your chosen wallet at any time in the app – simply navigate to the “Loyalty program” page from the “Card” tab and click “Claim Rewards” to receive a 1% reward on the total amount of card transactions (in BTC or USDT) or a 2% reward if you choose BXX.
Is the crypto-to-fiat conversion carried out directly from my Ledger wallet?
No. You need to fund your Crypto Life Card before you start spending. You can fund the card with the crypto you have in your Ledger Live wallet. Crypto-to-fiat conversion will take place at the time of purchase.
What networks are supported?
At present, the main blockchains of Bitcoin, Litecoin, XRP and Ethereum are supported for receiving and sending crypto funds. Please note that Layer 2 networks are not currently supported. Please refer to the app instructions when sending funds to your account.

Which payment types are not supported by my payment card?
Due to the nature of the card balance, we do not support balance inquiries at ATMs or elsewhere.

What is the maximum number of wallets I can link to my card?
You can link a maximum of 5 cryptocurrency wallets to your payment card at any one time.
How do you generate the available balance shown for my card?

How does getting a Stableloan work?
We make borrowing against your crypto easy. Simply select the terms of the Stableloan you want with our calculator (e.g. the amount, term length and interest rate) and we will tell you how much crypto you need to deposit with us to access it.
We hold your crypto as security (or “collateral”) against the Stableloan and you will receive your full amount of deposited crypto back to your wallet as soon as you have settled the Stableloan and any outstanding interest payments.
What countries can I get a Stableloan from?
Join the waitlist and as soon as your country is supported, we will let you know so you can get your account set up.
What can I use as collateral?
Currently, you can deposit your Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as collateral to borrow against.
We will be expanding the list of options over the coming months and will communicate any updates on this to our users.
What currencies can I receive a Stableloan in?
You can select from USDC, USDT or EURT.
You can spend these funds on the Crypto Life card, withdraw to your self-custodied wallet or exchange for other cryptocurrencies.
How long can I take a Stableloan out for?
When taking out a Stableloan, you may select from the following terms:
3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months.
However, you can settle it at any time to receive your collateral back to your wallet. You must pay the full principal amount and all interest charges
How do I pay interest on my Stableloan?
When you take out a Stableloan, we inform you that your principal stablecoin wallet will be automatically debited for the monthly loan interest payment on the corresponding day each month.
If your wallet does not have sufficient balance to meet an interest payment, you can make the interest payment later or through the “Stableloans” section of the app.
Any Stableloans with late or missing interest payments will be highlighted. If you miss multiple monthly interest payments, our user operations team will be in contact with you about payment schedules and penalties.
Why must I add more collateral to my Stableloan?
In order to handle the risk of a user’s deposited collateral being exceeded by the Stableloan principal, we may liquidate part or all of your collateral if your LTV% significantly exceeds the agreed LTV% of your Stableloan term.
If we believe your Stableloan is at risk of this, our user operations team will contact you to add further collateral value to reduce the LTV%.
What is LTV?
LTV refers to “loan-to-value”, which is a term that refers to the ratio of a loan compared to the value of an asset provided as collateral.
The “loan” being the principal amount (which the borrower receives). The “value” being the value of the collateral asset (which the lender receives).
How do I add further collateral to my Stableloan?
You will be able to add collateral value to your Stableloan within the app. If your LTV% has moved from agreed levels by >3%, this will be highlighted within the “Stableloans” section of the app.
If you have sufficient crypto in your wallet to make this top up, then it is a simple one click process. If you have funds in other wallets which you wish to exchange for further collateral, we also support an easy user journey for that.
Alternatively, if you have no funds in your wallet, you can send crypto to your network address. However, please remember that once this is received, you will need to return to the “Stableloans” section to add further collateral.
Can I settle my Stableloan early?
Yes. You can settle your Stableloan early and withdraw your collateral if you have paid back the full principal and any separate interest that is owed.
Can I have multiple active Stableloans at one time?
Yes. There is no limit to how many active Stableloans you can have at one time.
The handling of one active Stableloan will never affect or have any direct consequences for different active Stableloans which you may have with us.
What is a Cryptodraft?
Cryptodraft offers you the option to spend up to 60% of your collateral value as credit spent on your card.
How much interest will I have to pay on a Cryptodraft?
The first 10% you spend is interest-free, while the remaining 50% is subject to a 1% monthly percentage rate (MPR).
What is MPR?
Monthly-percentage-rate is the nominal interest rate that will accrue on the principal draft amount each month.
How can I repay my Cryptodraft in full?
Select “Settle” and then “Pay Now”. This allows you to repay your full Cryptodraft principal amount and any due interest. You can make this repayment from any of your available wallets.
How can I partially repay my Cryptodraft?
Select “Settle” and then “Pay Partial”. This allows you to repay any amount you wish, with no minimum. You may wish to reduce the LTV% of an active Cryptodraft or make some of your collateral available for withdrawal.
You can withdraw collateral from your active Cryptodraft at any time you want. However, you will not be able to withdraw a collateral amount which increases your LTV to over 10% as a result of this withdrawal.
What is the maximum I can deposit in one time?
2.5 BTC or 32 ETH at any one time.
What can be used as collateral?
BTC or ETH.
Is there a minimum withdrawal amount?
Yes. You are able to withdraw a minimum of £100 or €100 per withdrawal.
Can I send funds to any bank account?
No. You must only send funds to your own bank account held in your own name.
What is the limit for withdrawal?
You can find your account limit within the Profile page of your Crypto Life account, but this doesn’t mean that you are able to withdraw that amount.
All transactions are reviewed using our cutting-edge technology and highly talented transactions team. You may be required to provide us with certain documentation for transactions above 10,000 GBP/EUR. We also retain the right to hold funds if you do not comply with any requests we make.
What is the fee for me to withdraw?
The fee is 3.49% of the total amount you request to withdraw.
Can I send funds to anyone?
No. You must only send funds to your own bank account held in your own name. If you do try to send funds to an account that is not in your name, this may result in your account going into a review state.
What happens if I input my details incorrectly?
Firstly, you must contact our Support Team immediately either via email, support@cl-cards.com, or with our in-app messaging service to explain your situation. It is your responsibility to ensure that your information is correct and Baanx cannot be responsible for any incorrect information supplied to us by you.
How long does it take for a transaction to be processed?
Transaction processing time can take up to 24 hours. Please note that this might take longer based on your bank’s processing system. If 5 working days have passed, and you’re still waiting for your transfer to process, please reach out to our Support Team at support@cl-cards.com.
What does it mean when my transaction is pending?
A pending transaction is a transaction that is currently in process and being executed. Your transaction will show as completed once this has been processed on our side.
Do I need to verify that the account is mine?
If you have never made a fiat deposit into the platform before using your bank account, you may be asked to verify the account is yours before we can process any withdrawal. This is to allow us to validate your details and ensure you are the owner of the account receiving the funds.
You will be asked to complete a bank transfer into your Crypto Life account of £1/€1 through the platform, including your unique identifier as part of the reference when transferring funds. This £1/€1 will be returned back to your account once verification has been completed, along with your withdrawal amount.
What is staking BXX on the Crypto Life Card platform?
Staking is a way of earning a passive income through holding certain cryptocurrencies. You lock your assets for a set amount of time, and you will earn rewards in return when the locking period has finished.
Staking on the Crypto Life Card powered by Ledger platform is currently only available for the BXX token – the native asset of the Baanx ecosystem. Staking BXX on the CL platform is a way to unlock additional benefits with the Cryptodraft and Stableloan product, while earning a passive income.
Why should I stake my BXX?
As our tagline states, some stake it – others BXX it! By staking BXX, you are given extra rewards and benefits on the platform, including increased LTV on interest-free percentages and also increased LTV for borrowing percentages on the Stableloan product.
Staking BXX is also a way to earn up to 20% APR as a passive income paid in BXX. Staking terms start from 3 months up to 12 months.
What are the risks of Staking BXX?
Staking BXX on the Crypto Life Card platform does come with risks, which includes not being able to unlock your assets whilst they are in the staking contract. Therefore, you will need to be prepared to not be able to unlock your assets or access your reward until the staking period is completed.
What rewards do I get for staking my BXX?
The staking reward and terms are as follows:
3-month term gives you = 5% APR
6-month term gives you = 7% APR
9-month term gives you = 9% APR
12-month term gives you = 25% APR
When will I receive BXX staking?
Staking rewards will be distributed within 10 days of the following month after the staking deal ends. No action is required on the part of the user.
What additional rewards do I get for staking my BXX?
Staking BXX gives you additional benefits and increased LTV levels for interest-free spending on our Stableloan and Cryptodraft products. We operate a tiered model for this benefit as followed:
Will staking rewards be automatically re-staked?
No. If you wish to continue staking, you will need to re-stake your earned APR rewards and your initial stake amount.
Why am I not able to stake?
There are only two main reasons why you are unable to stake. It may be that you do not have enough tokens to meet the minimum stake requirement, which is 500 BXX tokens. The other reason is that the token you are looking to stake is not supported on the platform. If you are having any further trouble, please contact support@cl-cards.com or use the in-app messaging service in the Crypto Life platform.
Where can I see my staking rewards?
Staking rewards are paid straight to the principal BXX balance. You can review your staking reward history in the transaction history of your BXX wallet/account
Which tokens are available for staking?
BXX the native Baanx token.
What fees do you charge?
For a full list of our fees, please refer to the “Platform Fees” section of our Terms of Use, which can be found at: https://cl-cards.com/waiting-list/terms-of-use.
