Who owns Karta?
short answerKarta does not hold your money at all — it is self-custodial software. You hold your own keys, so nobody, including Karta, can move or freeze your funds.
Is Karta a licensed bank?
No — and it custodies no customer funds; you hold your own keys. Licence detail: Self-custodial (MPC via Privy); Visa issued by Rain.
Where is your money held?
Custody model: MPC self-custodial — you hold your own keys; the company never takes custody.
Who's behind Karta?
Karta was founded by Nik Zimarkov (2020), headquartered in Redwood City, US.
Is my money safe with Karta?
Karta never holds your funds, so no deposit-insurance scheme is involved. Your security depends entirely on how you protect your own private keys and recovery phrase — lose them and no company can recover the money for you.
