Frequently Asked Questions
What fees does Coba charge?
At Coba, we offer the Deposit Account and Virtual US Debit Card with no fee.
What is the difference between the Coba Deposit Account and a Wallet?
Coba is a Fintech (or financial technology) company. This means we don’t have a bank charter, but instead, partner with Bangor Savings Bank, Member FDIC. This allows us to provide you with banking products and services, and to insure your deposits with us up to the legal limit of $250,000 USD. In contrast, a Wallet won’t have the same flexibility and security that the current banking system can provide.
