Cryptocurrency trading and exchange services are offered by Alpaca Crypto LLC.
eccuity Invest NZ Limited will be able to fund the Account with United States Dollars (“USD” or “Cash”). Funds are treated differently and are subject to different regulatory regimes depending on where they are held. Alpaca maintains the Account at a bank which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). USD or Cash held in the Account are insured up to USD $250,000 per depositor against the failure of the FDIC member bank. FDIC insurance does not protect against the failure of Alpaca or malfeasance by any Alpaca employee. Alpaca and the bank at which Customer Accounts are held are not members of FINRA or the SIPC and therefore Customer funds held in the Customer Accounts are not SIPC protected.
Alpaca may hold Customer cryptocurrency together with the cryptocurrency of other Alpaca Customers in omnibus accounts or wallets. In addition, customers will authorise Alpaca to delegate some or all custody functions to one or more affiliates or third parties (which may include, but not be limited to exchanges and custodians) at Alpaca’s discretion (each, a “Custodian”). Some or all custody functions provided by a Custodian may be performed, supported, or conducted in foreign jurisdictions, or conducted by Custodians domiciled, registered, or subject to the laws and regulations of foreign jurisdictions.
