# Profile Verification

To be eligible to create a card, virtual or physical, you need to complete profile verification. This lets us keep users and the platform safe from fraudulent activity and stay compliant with Visa rules.

Under US law we are required to store this data for 5 years before it can be permanently deleted.

The verification and data flow looks like this:

1. You sign up with Avici using email, verify your identity with Sumsub, and we share the KYC information with our card partners.
2. We then create the escrow loan contract and provide the API for spending power, transaction history, and card creation.
3. We use the Sumsub AML plan to continuously monitor AML for users as well as funds on-chain.

#### How to get your card

The process is quick. Ordering happens first, then a short verification step activates the card.

**2. Choose your card.** Pick the tier that fits you.

* **Platinum:** a basic dollar card to get you started. $15 one-time fee. ATM withdrawals are $1 + 0.65%, up to 3 transactions or $250 per day.
* **Signature:** a dollar card with Visa Signature benefits, including airport lounges, auto rental insurance, purchase protection, luxury hotel access, and emergency medical cover abroad. $30 for the first year, then $20 each year after. This is a recurring yearly charge, not a one-time fee. ATM withdrawals are free, up to 3 transactions or $250 per day.

**3. Place your order.** The card fee is paid in USDC. Pick the network you want to pay from, apply a promo code if you have one, then slide to order.

The card fee is charged when you place your order, before verification. If you pay but do not complete or pass verification, contact support in the app to request a refund. {% endhint %}

**4. Your card is set up.** This takes a moment.
