Security And Account Safety

Envelopd is designed around hard spending limits, contextual identity checks, and privacy by default.

Some actions require identity setup before they are available:

  • Creating cards.
  • Connecting bank accounts.
  • Moving money.
  • Requesting physical cards.

If the app shows Finish Setup, go to Banking and complete the required prompts before continuing.

Bank accounts connect through Plaid. Use Funding or Banking to connect, review, or remove funding sources.

Use card controls to:

  • Freeze a card temporarily.
  • Unfreeze it when safe.
  • Cancel a card permanently if needed.
  • Reveal secure details only when necessary.
  • Review card activity after spending.
  • A card can only spend from its matching envelope.
  • An empty envelope should stop category spending.
  • Frozen, inactive, canceled, or revoked cards should not spend.
  • Family cards follow member permissions and admin limits.

Use Settings, Privacy, Terms, and Support for account preferences, notification choices, and help paths.
