Feel safe by design, not just by policy
Security shouldn’t be your responsibility — it should be our default.
At Blackcat, it is.
Are my funds safe?
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.
What kind of online payment protection technology do you use?
All Blackcat cards support 3D secure card payments for safer online purchases. It’s an authentication protocol that verifies you during online purchases.
Who regulates Blackcat?
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.
Where can I find more details about Papaya Ltd?
