Benefactor · An ARC Product

Be your own bank,
expand your reach.

Fully own your capital, and build and grow your own unique community. Every transaction is joined to a covenant — a documented word between two keepers, kept in a record that stands.

A bank in name and in discipline — not in charter. No balance here is FDIC-insured.

The doctrine

No sum unbounded. A record that keeps your word, by your word.

01 · EXTEND

Choose a keeper and extend on your terms — money joined to a documented purpose, never cast into the dark.

02 · SEAL THE COVENANT

Schedule, collateral, the default clause — read together, agreed together, sealed together. A bond is formed.

03 · TENDER THE PAYMENT

Each transaction moves on its due date and clears to the extender’s bank. The schedule follows the promise formalized in the covenant.

04 · THE WORD IS KEPT

Every tender lands upon one immutable ledger. Kept word raises your standing — and standing opens the gate wider.

The Record

Follow the life of the covenant.

The card seals, the first tender lands, and the standing rises — the whole life of a documented loan. This is the product: a kept promise.

Total covenant amount shown before every agreement is firm, always — no hidden fees.

The whole of the bank — the ledger, your standing, the tools you master, and the guards that keep it honest.
Standing & renown

Rise from Bystander to Benefactor.

Eight orders, counted in lives lifted — the distinct keepers you have backed, not the sums you moved. One life makes you a Keeper; three, a Steward; eight, a Patron.

Benefactor

Guardian and above presume funds held in custody, so they stand sealed until that opens — visibly, not quietly out of reach.

The holdings

Rise from First Light to Empyrean.

Nine rungs, counted in what your bank holds — a separate ladder, because reserves are not service. The first opens at $1,111.

The ARC Score

A rating built from validated trust — never from opinion.

Zero to 1,133, assembled only from validated records — completions, breaches, and the tribe cascade of those who vouched for you. Every verdict is explainable; there are no silent declines, by design and by law.

Portable proof of your word — here, and beyond.

The Window

An ask, on a public clock.

A public request, open to funding — up to eleven keepers may pledge, and at the deadline it seals at 70% filled or better, or it is nulled and every hold released.

The circle

You do not bank alone.

Beyond a single deal is a whole order — officers who act for you, keepers who back one another, and correspondence kept note by note.

Emissaries

Officers who act in your name

Appoint keepers to your bank within a mandate — Savant, Envoy, Warden, Director, or Auditor. Rank governs what they may lend; every act they take is traced.

Pools

Back keepers together

Join a pool and back many covenants in small parts. If a word breaks, the loss is shared pro-rata — no keeper bears a broken covenant alone.

The Exchange

Back a documented purpose

Open asks from across the order, each with a rating, a kept-word rate, and its terms in full. You back a reason — never a blank hand.

Correspondence

Trust, built note by note

Message keepers formally — a request to connect, then a thread that can cite a covenant. Words are exchanged before money ever moves.

Your holdings

Study your bank like a CFO.

Every dollar — extended, owed, idle, or in pools — attested, screened, and benchmarked against peers of your standing, so you know your worth before you ask.

Held to the light

Guarded by design, governed by record.

The same guards protect every keeper — ceilings you earn, a pace that stays honest, and forgiveness that is never silent.

36%

A hard, all-in ceiling on consumer covenants — every cost counted, shown before you agree.

Told why

No silent declines. Every no carries its reasons, and how to strengthen the next ask.

Private

Nothing of yours is public unless you lift the seal yourself, item by item.

Institutional$250,000Negotiated
Velocity monitor

Unusual speed or structuring is watched and surfaced — clean money included.

Forgiveness, never silent

A balance may be forgiven as mercy — but it is recorded as forgiven, never erased.

Source of funds

Every source is attested and screened before it is allowed to move.

Ring detection

Collusive circles are surfaced to ARC, not left to fester.

CTR / SAR filing

Threshold reports to FinCEN, handled server-side, by the book.

Tax truth

What you may owe is surfaced honestly — 1099-aware, never a surprise.

Report or block a bad actor in a tap — every matter is reviewed by a person, and you are always told why. Every keeper is verified before they can move money, every party is screened against sanctions and PEP lists, and no machine ever renders that verdict alone.
