Questions
Frequently asked questions
Everything teams ask before adopting BUFI, in one place.
- What is a BUFI workspace?
- A financial operating environment for a team, client, project, or business unit. It keeps money, roles, invoices, cards, transfers, and activity organized around the work they belong to.
- Who is BUFI designed for?
- Agencies, studios, distributed B2B teams, founders, finance operators, and treasury owners coordinating business money across people, projects, and financial tools.
- Can my team make global payments?
- BUFI supports cross-border operating workflows and USDC-ready balances for eligible workspaces. Availability, limits, supported rails, and onboarding requirements depend on the account and region.
- What is Ghost Mode?
- Ghost Mode is a private balance inside your BUFI wallet, built with Hinkal's shielded pools. Payments made from it don't leave a public trail of who you paid or how much: only zero-knowledge proofs reach the chain, never your data. Treasury money still needs your signers' approval to go private. Ghost Mode is in beta and opens to every workspace with its own announcement.
- How does BUFI protect business funds?
- BUFI is built around role-based controls, review steps, auditable actions, and security-first infrastructure. A walkthrough can map those controls to your team before launch.
- Can I use BUFI for payroll and invoices?
- Yes. Payroll, contractor payouts, invoice tracking, cards, transfers, and reporting share one operating context instead of living as disconnected tasks.
- Is BUFI a neobank?
- No. BUFI is a financial operations layer for organizing accounts, payments, documents, and team workflows. It helps existing financial tools work together instead of replacing everything at once.
- What happens during onboarding?
- We map your entities, workspaces, roles, approval paths, and current tools. Eligibility and verification requirements are confirmed before any supported financial workflow goes live.
