  8. Electronic Fund Transfers (EFTs) and Account Balances. Vesto partners with financial services software company FinClusive.

    FinClusive’s Accounts & Payments application provides our partner, Vesto, a “for benefit of” (FBO), omnibus account with our partner banks of record (BoRs), such as, for example, via Live Oak Bank. These FBO accounts enables transactions in respect of USD fiat funds for Vesto’s r operations and the facilitation of Vesto’s clients’ activities. Under such a FBO structure, virtual subaccounts for Vesto’s clients (individuals and/or entities) may be created utilizing FinClusive’s A&P ledger/subledger systems, once clients have been appropriately vetted by FinClusive’s Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform that performs Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) checks, requiste sanctions and watchlist screening and related customer due diligence (CDDs) and enhanced due diligence (EDD) components pursuant to relevant Vesto clients risk profiles. FinClusive’s CaaS system integrates CDD/EDD tools with global coverage including, but not limited to politically exposed persons (PEP) list reviews, social/adverse media, source of wealth, deep/dark web or bespoke/offline data sources that are enabled through FinClusive’s third party providers presently in over 160 countries. Under this structure, the FBO account is dedicated by FinClusive to Vesto.

    In terms of FinClusive’s CaaS compliance checking process, each Vesto client is assigned a unique and coded indetifier, known as a FinClusiveID (FincID) that is associated throughout the CaaS due-dliegence processing of the client’s current status. Before any transactions via the FBO account occur, the Vesto client check performed via CaaS must return has having an “Approved” status. Only after Caas Approval is received will the creation of a virtual sub-account be enabled that client. Thereafter, these client subaccounts are separately ledgered to ensure client balances are individually segregated and managed, for all inbound and outbound money flows. Funds are custodied at FinClusive’s BoRs are held in USD fiat.

    Through the application of a multi-tenant architecture, Vesto’s FBO account is separately delineated from all other customer FBOs accounts on the FinClusive platform. FBO accounts remain segregated from FinClusive operating accounts. The specific account information is encryted at rest, in transit, and during processing with the security keys held in a secure, network-based security module.

    As such, Vesto may use the FBO account dedicated to it to receive deposits or make payments to external counterparties via ACH, or US domestic wire. In addition, Vesto may transfer funds to their client sub-accounts and execute payments on behalf of their clients to other clients or external counterparties. Funds transfers via ACH/wire are executed by FinClusive’s BoR. An example funds flow is depicted below. (NB: At present, with respect to ACH transfers, the inbound transfer of funds to sub- accounts via ACH can only be done via ACH Debits. FinClusive’s BORs do not currently support assigning ABA routable numbers to sub-accounts).

    Additionally, FinClusive can on/off ramp payments between virtual assets (e.g. USDC, cUSD) with USD fiat, whereby FinClusive’s integration with exchanges and VASPs such as Coinbase, Kraken, Circle or virtual asset over the counter (OTC liquidity providers) provide the actual exchange of virtual assets with USD fiat funds. The use of client sub-accounts is not required to use the FBO account. An overall architecture of the combined CaaS and A&P applications and FinClusive’s integration with our BoRs, virtual asset exchanges and blockchain networks and other ecosystem partners is provided below.
