General questions 

What does Powered by Ledger stand for?

CL Card is operated by Baanx.* Powered by Ledger stands next to its name because the card is fully integrated with Ledger’s ecosystem. You can create a CL 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 CL Card?

Every time you spend with your CL Card, you earn rewards.****
To enable rewards, 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 transactions you've made with your card throughout the month. At the end of each month, you will receive a 1% reward for the total amount of card transactions (BTC, 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 CL 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.***

How do transfers of funds work from a self-custody perspective?

You have total ownership over your assets as long as their private keys are safely stored in your Ledger wallet. Once you transfer funds from your wallet to the card, they are no longer under self-custody.

Managing Stableloan*** 

How does a Stableloan work?

You can enter the terms of the Stableloan you want to use with the calculator—for example, the amount, term length and interest rate—and it will tell you how much crypto you need to deposit on your CL account.

CL Card will hold your crypto as security (or collateral) against the Stableloan. You will receive the full amount of deposited crypto back in your wallet as soon as you settle the Stableloan and interest payments.

What crypto can I deposit as collateral?

Currently, you can deposit BTC and ETH as collateral.

Can I receive a Stableloan in different currencies?

At the moment, you can receive Stableloan in USDC, USDT or EURT. 

If I take a Stableloan, how long can I keep it?

You can keep it for 3, 6, 12 or 24 months.
You can settle the Stableloan at any time and receive collateral back in your wallet. Just keep in mind that you need to pay the full principal amount and all interest.

How do I pay interest on a Stableloan?

Every month, your wallet will be credited with the loan interest payment. If your wallet doesn’t have sufficient balance to cover interest, you can make the payment later in the Stableloans section of the Ledger Live app. Any Stableloans with late or missing interest payments will be highlighted. If you miss multiple monthly interest payments, the CL team will inform you about payment schedules and penalties.

Why do I need to add more collateral to my Stableloan?

In case there is the risk of exceeding deposited collateral or if your LTV exceeds the agreed amount, the CL team will contact you to add further collateral value and reduce the LTV.

What is LTV?

LTV stands for loan-to-value and refers to the ratio of a loan compared to the value of an asset provided as collateral.
Loan → principal amount that a borrower receives.
Value → the value of the collateral asset that a lender receives.

How do I add more collateral to my Stableloan?

If you have sufficient funds in your wallet, you can add collateral to your Stableloan in the Ledger Live app. 

Do you allow early settlements of Stableloans?

Yes, you can settle your Stableloan and unlock collateral at any point during or beyond the Stableloan term.

Can I have multiple Stableloans active at the same time?

Yes. There is no limit to how many active Stableloans you can have at the same time.

Managing Cryptodraft***

What is Cryptodraft?

With Cryptodraft, you can spend up to 60% of your collateral value as a credit.

What interest can I earn with Cryptodraft?

Spending the first 10% is interest-free, while the remaining 50% is subject to a 1% monthly-percentage-rate (MPR). The monthly-percentage-rate represents the nominal interest rate accumulated on the principal draft amount each month.
