Build on Tether.
Credit unions, neobanks, and fintechs embed the containment engine: a consent-grant API for who may charge a customer, and an open, verifiable receipt protocol for proving containment. The same primitives that run the Tether app.
Consent-grant API
Server-to-server. Authenticate with a bearer key (issued per partner). Each grant is a revocable permission to charge, with a cap and cadence.

}Open containment-receipt protocol
tether-containment-receipt/1 — an Ed25519-signed, self-certifying record of a cancellation or containment event. Public and unauthenticated: anyone holding a receipt can re-verify it. Tampering fails the check.
curl https://tether.bornbetween2generals.com/api/v1/receipts/$RECEIPT/verify
{
"protocol": "tether-containment-receipt/1",
"event": { "type": "cancellation", "merchant": "Netflix", ... },
"verification": {
"ok": true,
"signatureValid": true,
"bodyHashValid": true,
"anchored": false
}
}anchored: falsemeans the signing key is not yet a published trust anchor — receipts are an “unverified preview” until the key lives in a KMS. The signature and body hash are always checked.
