A quick guide to how Covercy sets ACH, check‑deposit, and debit‑card limits based on your account’s plan tier and profile.
Why we set limits
-
Fraud & loss prevention: Lower starting limits keep both you and your investors safe while we confirm transaction patterns and counterparties.
-
Regulatory compliance: Banking regulations require us to align limits with verified account activity.
-
Operational predictability: Clear limits avoid last-minute payment delays during capital calls or large distributions.
How limits evolve over time
-
Default assignment (new account)
-
Every new Covercy banking account starts with conservative daily and monthly caps on deposits, outgoing payments, and debit-card spend.
-
Think of this as a “speed limit” for your first few transactions.
-
-
Established track record
-
After we’ve seen successful deposits, investor distributions, or rent collections—and your KYC/KYB documents remain current—we automatically raise your caps to match typical operating volumes.
-
No action is required on your side; you’ll see the updated limits under Banking ▸ Settings.
-
-
High-volume use cases (by request)
-
Fundraising rounds with many inbound wires or checks.
-
Large acquisitions or refinance payouts needing same-day transfers in the seven figures.
-
Bulk investor distributions at quarter- or year-end.
-
Submit a Request Increase ticket or speak with your Customer Success Manager (CSM). We routinely approve one-time or permanent limits in the millions of dollars when documentation supports the need.
-
Turnaround time: Most limit increases are approved within one business day once we have the supporting details (e.g., purchase agreement, capital call notice, or distribution schedule).

Quick FAQs
-
Can limits ever be lowered?
Only in rare cases—such as prolonged inactivity or unresolved negative balances. We’ll notify you first. -
Is there a fee for higher limits?
No. Limit reviews are included in your banking service; standard transaction fees still apply. -
What if I manage multiple entities?
Each account’s limits are tuned separately—one SPV can keep its default caps while another handles multimillion-dollar capital raises.
