Frequently asked questions

We will be happy to clear all of your concerns
Yes. As an EU-licensed financial institution and the issuer of Blackcat cards, Papaya Ltd must protect customers’ funds. We use a dual model:
  • Safeguarding: all client funds are held in segregated accounts at a reputable European credit institution, fully separate from Papaya Ltd’s corporate funds.
  • Insurance: Papaya Ltd additionally has an insurance agreement with EU-based Axiom, adding another protection layer so client funds cannot be claimed by creditors even in an insolvency scenario.
This approach, aligned with EU rules that allow safeguarding and/or insurance for EMIs, ensures strong protection when using Blackcat. Your money is always fully protected with Blackcat.
All Blackcat cards support 3D secure card payments for safer online purchases. It’s an authentication protocol that verifies you during online purchases.
Blackcat is issued by Papaya Ltd, an electronic money institution headquartered in Malta. Papaya Ltd is regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), the sole financial regulator in the country.
You can find more detailed information on the official Papaya financial institution webpage: https://www.papaya.eu/home.
We care deeply about protecting your information. Blackcat applies strict security standards and follows EU regulations, including, but not limited to the GDPR, to ensure that your financial data and funds remain safe at all times.
