How can we help?

Everything you need to know about plan₿ — from your first PIX to self-custody.

Getting Started

plan₿ is a self-custodial digital account for Brazilians that lets you buy Bitcoin and USD instantly via PIX with low, transparent fees (from 0.40%). You also get a Visa debit card with Apple Pay and full control over your money with no middlemen. See our fee schedule at planb.army/fees for the full breakdown.

plan₿ is now live on the Brazilian App Store. Just download the app, sign up with your email, complete KYC, and start using it — no waitlist, no invite codes.

Not yet. For now, plan₿ is available exclusively for users in Brazil via the Brazilian App Store, with PIX as the on-ramp. International expansion is on our roadmap.

Yes. To comply with financial regulations and protect our users, we require identity verification (KYC) before you can transact. The process is fast, fully digital, and takes only a few minutes.

A valid government-issued photo ID (RG, CNH, or passport) and a selfie. The verification is automated and usually completes within minutes.

Buying & Selling

Two simple steps. Step 1: pay a PIX into your plan₿ account — the BRL is credited instantly. Step 2: tap "Swap" inside the app to convert BRL into Bitcoin. You stay in control: BRL lands first, then you choose when to swap.

Buying USD: 0.40% swap fee. Buying Bitcoin: 1.00% swap fee. PIX cash-in is a fixed R$ 0.75 per transaction. No monthly fees, no subscription, no hidden charges. The full quote (including all fees) is shown in the app before you confirm. Full breakdown: planb.army/fees.

Yes! You can buy and hold dollars (USD) via PIX with a 0.40% swap fee plus R$ 0.75 PIX cash-in. Use your USD balance on the Visa card to spend abroad — or keep it in the app and earn yield. Both options are available out of the box.

PIX is instant in BRL — once your bank confirms it (typically seconds), the BRL is credited to your plan₿ account immediately. To get Bitcoin or USD, you then swap from BRL inside the app, also in seconds.

The minimum is R$ 6. Maximum limits vary based on your KYC verification level — check the "Limits" section in the app for your current limits.

Yes. You can convert your Bitcoin or USD back to BRL and withdraw to any Brazilian bank via PIX at any time.

Card & Payments

A virtual Visa debit card that works with Apple Pay and online purchases anywhere in the world. A physical card is on our roadmap.

Yes! Add your plan₿ card to Apple Pay and pay contactlessly anywhere Visa is accepted — in stores, restaurants, transit, and online. See our Apple Pay setup guide for step-by-step instructions.

Not yet. ATM withdrawals are on our roadmap. Currently, your plan₿ card works for online payments and contactless purchases at physical terminals.

Any currency globally — your card converts from your Bitcoin or USD balance at the moment of purchase at a 1:1 rate with zero spread. No hidden markups, no FX surcharge, anywhere in the world including Brazil.

Always select CREDIT (crédito) mode at the terminal — even though your plan₿ card is a debit card, Brazilian POS machines require the CREDIT option for international Visa cards to process correctly.

Limits vary based on your KYC verification level. Check the "Card" or "Limits" section in the app for your current daily and monthly limits.

Bitcoin & Self-Custody

Self-custody means only you can move your funds — there are no middlemen who can freeze or seize them. Your plan₿ wallets (a Gnosis Safe for EVM and a Spark wallet for Bitcoin) belong to you. Access is secured by your email login through Privy, our embedded wallet provider — so you stay in control with the simplicity of an email account.

Just sign in with the same email you used to create your account. Privy (our embedded wallet provider) restores your wallets — Gnosis Safe (EVM) and Spark (Bitcoin) — automatically on any device. A user-controlled seed phrase export, for advanced users who want it, is on our roadmap.

No. Your wallets are non-custodial — plan₿ never holds the keys. Access is gated by your email login through Privy (our embedded wallet provider), so plan₿ has no operational ability to access, freeze, or confiscate your balance. Your money, your control — always.

In your Spark wallet — a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet that fully belongs to you. plan₿ is just the interface; your keys are managed via Privy (our embedded wallet provider) and recoverable through your email login. You can withdraw to any external Bitcoin address whenever you want.

Yes. You can send Bitcoin to any external address. On-chain (Layer 1) withdrawals: 1.00% plan₿ fee plus the network fee paid to miners. Lightning Network payments are also supported for instant, near-free transfers.

Security & Privacy

We use biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID), end-to-end encryption, and a non-custodial architecture — your wallets are managed via Privy (our embedded wallet provider) and recoverable through your email login. plan₿ never holds your keys.

No. plan₿ does not store your KYC documents or personal identity data. Your verification information is submitted directly to our regulated partners — Gnosis Pay (card infrastructure) and Avenia (PIX / BRL on-ramp) — who are responsible for KYC compliance. plan₿ never sees or retains your ID documents.

Never. The only data we pass is what our regulated partners (Gnosis Pay for the card, Avenia for PIX) require to operate the service. We never sell, share, or monetize your personal data with any third party for any purpose.

Your funds are safe — your wallets aren't on your device. Install plan₿ on a new phone and sign in with the same email you used to create your account: Privy (our embedded wallet provider) restores your Gnosis Safe and Spark wallets automatically. Contact plan₿ support immediately to freeze your Visa card and prevent unauthorized spending.

Yes. The app supports biometric 2FA (Face ID / Touch ID) by default. Additional security settings are available in the app settings.

plan₿ operates in compliance with applicable financial regulations, including KYC/AML requirements. We are committed to building a trustworthy and compliant platform.

After the grace period your account data is permanently deleted in line with our Privacy Policy retention rules. You can also email contact@planb.army. IMPORTANT: deleting your plan₿ account does NOT delete your funds on the blockchain — withdraw your USD and Bitcoin to another wallet you control BEFORE deleting the account, otherwise you risk losing access (we never had your keys to recover them).
