# Wallet-as-a-Service FAQ

> Common questions about WhiteBIT Wallet-as-a-Service: scope and delivery, integration models, onboarding and access, integration, and compliance.

Answers to common questions about WhiteBIT Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS).

## Scope and delivery

### Delivery model

WaaS puts WhiteBIT behind the partner's own product as the exchange, custody, and settlement backend — a wallet and payments building block, not a full white-label exchange. See the [WaaS overview](/guides/waas-overview).

### WaaS and Crypto-as-a-Service

WaaS is the wallet and deposit-address building block; Crypto-as-a-Service is the full white-label exchange offering, and it uses the WaaS building block for end-customer wallets. See [Crypto-as-a-Service](/guides/caas-overview).

## Integration models

### Choosing a model

Three models are available — managed sub-accounts, attribution, and sub-accounts with KYC reliance — split by who holds the end-user account and who performs KYC. See [Choose an integration model](/guides/waas-overview#choose-an-integration-model).

### KYC reliance eligibility

KYC reliance is gated: it requires a supervised, AML-obligated entity and an individual WhiteBIT Compliance assessment. See the [eligibility conditions](/guides/waas-integration#kyc-reliance-eligibility).

### Pooled account

A single pooled (omnibus) account for all end users is not offered, because pooled custody conflicts with client-fund segregation and Travel Rule requirements. See [why not a pooled account](/concepts/integration-models#why-not-a-pooled-account).

## Onboarding and access

### Onboarding phases

Institutional onboarding has two phases: Phase 1 grants crypto operations access after KYB; optional Phase 2 adds EUR/SEPA fiat access. See [Institutional Onboarding](/institutional/onboarding).

### Per-user deposit address enablement

Per-user deposit addresses (`create-new-address`) are disabled by default. Request enablement through the account manager or `institutional@whitebit.com`. See the [Developer guide](/guides/waas-integration#prerequisites).

### Crypto deposit enablement

Crypto deposits are disabled by default on institutional accounts and cannot be enabled through the API. See [crypto deposit enablement](/guides/caas-faq#crypto-deposit-enablement).

## Integration

### Reconciliation approach

Webhooks are the primary reconciliation channel; polling transaction history is a required fallback, since webhook delivery is retried but not replayed. Deduplicate by `uniqueId`. See [Payment and payout flows](/guides/waas-integration#payment-and-payout-flows).

### Fiat operations scope

Fiat deposit and withdrawal operate at the partner's master-account level, not per end user. Per-end-user fiat rails are not a standard shipped capability. See the [Developer guide](/guides/waas-integration).

### Test environment availability

WhiteBIT does not offer a public testnet or sandbox. Test on the live API with minimum amounts and check per-asset minimums via [Asset Status](/api-reference/market-data/asset-status-list); the WhiteBIT Codes flow in [WaaS Recipes](/guides/waas-recipes) is a low-risk way to try a real signed call.

## Compliance

### MiCA and Travel Rule for EEA end users

For EEA users, MiCA restricts some stablecoin operations, and the Travel Rule governs EEA and Turkey transfers; both affect the assets and flows available to those end users. See [Regulatory Compliance](/institutional/compliance) and [Travel Rule](/concepts/travel-rule).

## Support

### Support contacts

The assigned account manager is the primary contact. Programs and onboarding go to `institutional@whitebit.com`. Platform questions are answered at [help.whitebit.com](https://help.whitebit.com), and API documentation is on docs.whitebit.com.
