# Custodial Accounts

> Hold fiat-backed stablecoins on behalf of end users with Brale-managed custodial wallets on supported chains.

Brale enables businesses to hold fiat-backed stablecoins on behalf of their end users—unlocking powerful digital dollar experiences for wallets, marketplaces, fintech apps, and neobanks. Use stablecoins as account balances, enable fast transfers, or power embedded payouts.

Custodial accounts are only available for businesses.

## What It Does

Custody lets you:

* Create and manage custodial wallets for end users on any blockchain Brale supports.
* Hold stablecoin balances across all supported chains
* Initiate transfers and payouts directly from custodied funds using any stablecoin supported at Brale.

All Brale Accounts support custodial wallets on all supported chains out of the box—no custom wallet infrastructure required. When new custodial wallets are created they are instantly compatible with all transfer types on the platform.

## Who It's For

Use cases include:

* Wallets that want to show balances and enable transactions
* Neobanks offering digital dollar accounts
* Marketplaces holding funds for sellers or escrow
* Fintech platforms embedding payments or savings
* Custodial wallets bound to automations to automatically receive and mint stablecoins for end users.

## How It Works

1. **Create Wallets**\
   When you [register an Account](/key-concepts/accounts), custodial wallets are created automatically on all supported chains. There's no additional setup required.
2. **Receive Deposits**\
   You or your users can send stablecoins directly to custodial wallet addresses. Just [fetch wallet addresses](/key-concepts/addresses) and fund them.
3. **Track Balances**\
   Use the [Balances endpoint](/api-reference/brale/get-address-balance) to query stablecoin holdings across all wallets and chains.
4. **Initiate Payouts**\
   Send funds from any custodial wallet using the [Transfers](/key-concepts/transfers) endpoint. This supports on-chain transfers, off-chain payouts, and more.
5. **Earn Revenue Share**\
   When using your own stablecoin, you earn a share of revenue on all custodied assets.
