Rizon Card

incumbentOff-chain No public chain settlementwww.getrizon.com

Incumbent rails have no public chain settlement and no public code. They are scored with the same rubric as every other row. Their low ratings show the verifiability gap between rails whose behaviour can be inspected and rails whose behaviour must be trusted; that gap is the point of the comparison, not a claim that the incumbent is unsafe.

Where it is offered

Offered only in the countries listed. Checked 2026-10-09. Not scored.

Rizon's help centre lists 44 supported nationalities and says eligibility depends on citizenship (passport), not only residence, so a resident of a listed country with another nationality may fail KYC. The codes here are those nationalities. US citizens get the Rizon US Spend Card; the Rizon Global, Inc. card terms require attesting that you are not a US citizen. The Terms of Service also list jurisdictions where accounts may not be opened under Rain's compliance rules (Afghanistan, Albania, Belarus, Bosnia, Central African Republic, Congo, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Kosovo, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Korea, Russia, Serbia, Somalia, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Zimbabwe, plus Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk) and exclude EU-, OFAC- and UN-sanctioned jurisdictions; none of those are on the nationality list. The Terms also say Rizon does not actively market its services in the EU or regions outside the US and Latin America.

Listed countries (44): Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Bangladesh, Belize, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Senegal, Singapore, Suriname, Thailand, Turks & Caicos Islands, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United States, Uruguay, Zambia

Settlement token

What the balance is held in and debited from. Shown as context; it does not change any rating.

TokenClassIssuerContract
USDCfiat-backed stablecoinCircle
USDTfiat-backed stablecoinTether

Conversion. The token is sold for fiat when a payment is authorised.

Rizon accepts only USDC and USDT deposits (on Arbitrum, Solana, Base, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche and BSC) into the user's self-custodial wallet. The card is a Rain card: Rizon's Terms say spending converts stablecoins into fiat through Rain and its licensed partners, and the help centre says the dollar balance with the lowest conversion fee is used at the moment of payment, so no single default token is stated. The chain and contract of the Rain collateral holding the spendable balance are not published, and the card terms' Supported Blockchains (Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum) differ from the deposit list (see C5), so no chain or address is recorded.

Volume transacted (verified only)

Not verifiable

Incumbent: the provider file lists no contracts, so there is nothing a volume spec could be computed over; card settlement runs offchain through the issuer and Visa.

Group B: institutional due diligence

ControlStateWhat was found
Assurance and certifications
B1.1 ISO 27001, developer organisation
Is the organisation that develops the product ISO 27001 certified, and does the certificate name that entity?
Unknown
No ISO 27001 statement from Rizon (site, Terms, privacy policy, help centre "How secure is Rizon?"). Rain lists SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS, not ISO 27001.
B1.2 ISO 27001, hosting and support organisation
Is the organisation that hosts and supports the service ISO 27001 certified in its own name, with a scope covering the service?
Unknown
B1.3 SOC 2 Type II or ISAE 3000/3402 reports
Does the provider undergo periodic SOC 2 Type II or ISAE 3402 Type II assessments and make reports available?
AttestedRizon states nothing. Partner (Rain): SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS, reports available to partners on request through its trust center; not read.
Rizon names Rain (Signify Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary Nimbus LLC) as provider of the card, smart contract wallets and transfers, so Rain's security and status pages are recorded as the partner's position.
source 1 · source 2
B1.4 Independent source-code security review before go-live
Was the application reviewed by an independent party before launch, and is the report linked?
AttestedRizon says the per-user vault is deployed and maintained by Rain; Rain says its smart contracts are independently audited before launch and per chain. No report is linked and no Rizon contract address is published (CROPS S6 unknown). Nothing covers the Rizon app.
source 1 · source 2
B1.5 Penetration testing
Is the service penetration-tested before go-live and at least every three years, with results available?
AttestedRizon states nothing. Partner (Rain): a penetration test summary is available to partners through its trust center.
Rizon names Rain (Signify Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary Nimbus LLC) as provider of the card, smart contract wallets and transfers, so Rain's security and status pages are recorded as the partner's position.
source 1
B1.6 Vulnerability scanning cadence
Are the platform and the application scanned for vulnerabilities at least every six months?
EvidencedRizon states nothing. Partner (Rain): code peer-reviewed and automatically scanned before production; no cadence stated.

Is there a published way to report a vulnerability (SECURITY.md, security.txt, or a disclosure page)?
Unknown
implied from the component list
B2.2 Patch service levels
Does the provider commit to patch timelines for known vulnerabilities (the partner expects 30 days critical, 40 high, 90 medium)?

Rizon names Rain (Signify Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary Nimbus LLC) as provider of the card, smart contract wallets and transfers, so Rain's security and status pages are recorded as the partner's position.
source 1
B3.2 Backups and restore testing
Are customer records backed up daily and restores tested on a schedule?
Unknown
B3.3 Recovery plan
Is there an approved and tested recovery plan for the service?
Unknown
The help centre says funds stay accessible if Rizon stops operating because the wallet is non-custodial; that is a claim about exit, not a recovery plan (see CROPS S4, unknown).
B3.4 Status page and post-mortems
Does the provider publish service status and post-mortems for incidents?
EvidencedRizon publishes no status page. Partner (Rain): status.rain.xyz with incident history; no post-mortems found.

Identity and access (operator side)
B4.1 MFA for end users
Can or must end users protect accounts with multi-factor authentication?

Is privileged access protected by MFA and kept on separate accounts?
Unknown
B4.3 Periodic access reviews

Unknown
API and integration
B5.1 API authentication, browser to server

Are server-to-server calls authenticated with keys or PKI certificates, and are keys scoped and rotatable?
Unknown
B5.3 Token expiry

Unknown
B5.4 Export controls
If an API exports data, does it limit volumes and log exports?
Unknown
Data protection and privacy governance
B6.1 Data classification and encryption
Does the provider state a data classification and enforce encryption at rest and TLS 1.2 or better in transit?

Assessor notes

Incumbent: no verified contract or public repository needed to run the product was found. Searched: GitHub (repo search "rizon" returns only unrelated projects such as the RIZON Cosmos chain and the Rizon IRC network; orgs rizonapp, rizon-app, rizonmoney, rizonfi and others do not exist); getrizon.com pages, Terms, privacy policy and card terms; the Intercom help centre (legal, deposit, card and wallet collections); dashboard.getrizon.com (business login shell, no contract or chain config). The Terms say each user gets a Rain-managed collateral smart contract, but no Rizon or Rain document gives an address, factory or team id for this program. The card terms' Supported Blockchains (Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum) are Rain boilerplate and conflict with the help centre's list, and Rain's shared collateral contracts serve many programs, so no onchain contract can be attributed to Rizon (same reasoning as the Avalanche Card file). Card Map and review sites were not used as evidence.
