General Questions About Security

ClassWallet takes customer security seriously. For most users, we only need to capture a valid email address to open the account and a valid address to ship purchases to. For some optional services, we need to capture more personal information. Whenever possible, we rely upon our partner banks to capture the data securely and we never store personal data in the ClassWallet system. We employ the same level of security for the bank accounts that we establish for our users.

Securing customer funds is a top priority at ClassWallet. When deploying funds onto the ClassWallet platform, customer deposits are secured through the use of separate and discrete customer accounts with their own ABA, routing numbers and FDIC insurance. Customer funds are held at BankUnited, a Qualified Public Depository (QPD) in the state of Florida. A QPD is qualified to hold public funds and has stringent collateralization, monthly and annual reporting requirements to the Florida State Treasury.
