The Arch Difference

Trust

Our business model does not rely on lending out, trading, or rehypothecating your assets. Your collateral sits untouched in segregated custody for the life of the loan and is returned in full at repayment.

Security

Your collateral is held by Anchorage, the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., in offline cold storage protected by institutional-grade controls and comprehensive insurance.

Support

Real people, not chatbots. Our loan specialists are reachable by chat, phone, email, and text whenever you need them — from your first question through final repayment — and stay with you for the life of your loan.
