# Yield-as-a-Service FAQ

> Common questions about WhiteBIT Yield-as-a-Service: scope, the integration model, onboarding and access, operations, and how B2B yield differs from the self-service flow.

Answers to common questions about WhiteBIT Yield-as-a-Service (YaaS).

## Scope and delivery

### What Yield-as-a-Service delivers

YaaS lets a partner offer WhiteBIT Crypto Lending yield to end users through the API, under the
partner's own brand. See the [overview](/guides/yaas-overview).

### Difference from the self-service quickstart

The [Crypto Lending quickstart](/products/lending/quickstart) shows the self-service flow for a
single account; YaaS adds the B2B layer — a sub-account per end user, funding, and per-user
reconciliation. See the [Integration guide](/guides/yaas-integration).

## Integration model

### How end-user funds are segregated

Each end user earns in a dedicated sub-account with independent balances and history; the master
account is the funding hub. See [How it works](/guides/yaas-overview#how-it-works).

### Whether end users need separate WhiteBIT accounts

End users do not open separate accounts — each is provisioned as a sub-account under the partner's
master account (Model A). See [Sub-Accounts](/products/sub-accounts/overview).

### Pooled account

A single pooled (omnibus) account for end-user funds 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

### How lending access is granted

Crypto Lending is available on the master account with B2B access; on sub-accounts it is not enabled
by default and must be enabled per sub-account on request. See
[How to get started](/guides/yaas-overview#how-to-get-started).

### API key type for a sub-account

Running lending on a sub-account requires a **type:2** key (info, trading, deposits, withdraws). See
[Prerequisites](/guides/yaas-integration#prerequisites).

## Operations

### Tracking each end user's earnings

Each sub-account's investments and payment history are that end user's earnings; there is no
aggregated cross-sub report, so reconciliation is per sub-account. See
[Reconcile earnings per user](/guides/yaas-integration#4-reconcile-earnings-per-user).

### Fixed versus flexible plans

Fixed plans lock funds for a term with interest paid at maturity; flexible plans allow withdrawal
anytime with interest credited daily. See [Crypto Lending](/products/lending/overview).

### Test environment availability

WhiteBIT does not offer a public testnet or sandbox. Test on the live API with minimum amounts. See
the [Integration guide](/guides/yaas-integration#testing).

## Compliance

### Regulatory review

Eligibility to offer yield to end users is assessed during KYB and handled as part of onboarding
rather than in the API. See [Regulatory Compliance](/institutional/compliance).

## Support

### Support contacts

The assigned account manager is the primary contact; programs and onboarding go to
`institutional@whitebit.com`. See [Institutional Onboarding](/institutional/onboarding).
