This page is the canonical source for geographic account eligibility. It states where each customer type and account type combination is available in the United States.

Availability by customer and account type

All account creation remains subject to verification, program approval, applicable compliance requirements, and Brale’s restricted-business policies. Availability in a state does not guarantee approval.

Custodial vs. transactional

  • Custodial accounts receive Brale-managed internal wallet addresses and can hold Brale-custodied balances. See Custodial Accounts.
  • Transactional accounts are non-custodial. They do not receive internal wallet addresses and cannot hold balances at Brale.
  • Transactional accounts can register external, self-custody destination addresses.
  • External addresses belonging to a transactional account are destination-only. They cannot originate on-chain transfers.
Geographic account eligibility is not the same as workflow or rail availability. An account being available in a state does not mean that every payment rail, automation, transfer direction, industry, or funds flow is available to it. Consult the relevant workflow guides, Transfer Types, and Value Types for capability-specific requirements.

Which address determines eligibility

  • Individual accounts — the individual’s principal residential address.
  • Business accounts — the business’s principal operating address.
A business’s incorporation state or bank location does not, by itself, determine eligibility.
  • Account types — the entity_type and account_type fields on POST /accounts.
  • Accounts — the full account resource, fields, and lifecycle.
  • POST /accounts — API reference.
