Your donations should land in your account — not sit on a platform balance you have to withdraw from.
Many platforms hold the money you raise and make you request a payout, sometimes with withdrawal fees, holds or minimums. That's custodial — your funds sit on their balance sheet until they choose to release them.
Ralli is non-custodial. Contributions are routed to your own bank account (or a stablecoin wallet if you prefer), typically within about 48 hours, and Ralli never holds your funds. You keep control, and there's no separate withdrawal fee — just the flat 2% and a small low-cost rail cost.
It's faster, it's cheaper — no custodial float or withdrawal charges — and it works across borders, direct to your account in around 185 countries.
