How does the Collateral Balance work?

At Dash.Fi, we prioritize the stability and security of every transaction made through our platform. Collateral balances play a crucial role in our ability to give the highest spending limits in the industry. 

These collateral balances, mandated by our banking partner, ensure you have consistent daily spending limits along with a 72 hours grace period with uninterrupted service to remediate bounce payments.

How much is the collateral balance?

3x your peak daily spend volume within the current quarter.   

For example, if your peak daily spend for a single day in Q1 is $300,000 then your collateral balance would be $900,000 for both Q1 and the Q2.  

How often are collateral balances reviewed? 

Every quarter, collateral balances are reviewed based on the highest spending days within that period and the previous quarter, ensuring that our cardholders always have sufficient coverage to support their transactions. 

Example of collateral balances requirements increase with Increasing ad spend quarter over quarter.

Let's assume your collateral balance is $900,000 at the end of Q1. Your baseline collateral balance would remain at $900,000 as long as you didn’t spend over $900,000 in Q2.     If your daily spend increased in Q2 to $400,000 your new collateral balance requirement would be $1.2m, thereby establishing the new baseline for Q3.  In other words, $1.2m would remain in collateral until the end of Q3.  

Example of collateral balances being released after decreasing ad spend quarter over quarter.

Let's assume your collateral balance is $900,000 at the end of Q1.   If your daily spend decreased in Q2 to where your peak daily spend volume was only $100,000 then your new collateral balance requirement would be $300k, thereby establishing the new baseline for Q3.  At the end of Q3, you have the option to request a collateral balance return of $600,000. 

Where do I see my collateral balance?

Your balance will be shown on your rewards statements.  Additionally you can request a one off collateral balance statement by contacting support@dash.fi
