Question 6

How does Amp Pay earn high yield on savings?

Accepted Answer

Amp Pay connects to third-party DeFi protocols on the Solana blockchain, such as the Carrot protocol, which generate yield on USDC stablecoins through lending and liquidity provision. Users can earn up to 12% APY on their savings with no account minimums, no monthly fees, and no withdrawal limits.

Question 7

Is Amp Pay FDIC insured?

Accepted Answer

Amp Pay is a self-custodial wallet, meaning you maintain full control of your private keys and digital assets at all times. Because Amp Pay cannot access your funds, traditional FDIC insurance — which protects against a custodian going bankrupt — is not applicable. Your USDC is held by you, not by Amp Pay.

Question 8

Does Amp Pay require a credit check?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no credit check required to get the Amp Black Card. Approval is instant for verified Amp Pay users.

Its a sad day but the Amp Pay app is being discontinued.

The app will remain available but you should send funds to another Solana wallet or export your private keys.

Do NOT share your private keys with anyone. We will never ask for them. Legitimate support will never ask for this information and will never need it. Anyone asking for your private keys, seed phrase or recovery phrase is not to be trusted and should be reported and ignored.
