Agreement and Disclosures Requirements (DDA)

❗️

WARNING

Your Demo application and any associated links must be hosted in a DEV environment.
You are prohibited from using Sila’s name, policies, and terms in any public materials until after the platform is approved. Therefore, the required language provided to you by Sila MAY NOT be on any live or public facing site prior Sila's banking partner completing their review and Production Access to being granted.

Failing to adhere to this warning will cause significant delays in your approval process, as Sila's banking partner will reject the submission and the review will be returned if the language is found on any live or public facing sites.
