How Kronos works in New York

Kronos uses a conservative state denylist for crypto. New York is currently on that list (NY, HI, TX, LA, WA, VT, NH, AL) because our partners have not yet confirmed money-transmitter coverage. The denylist is fail-closed: we deny by default and tighten as our partners confirm states. Banking, 2.5% APY savings on Kronos Pro, and the cashback debit card all work normally for New York residents. We will email waitlist members in New York the moment crypto trading goes live.
