3) Does the company's and the bank KYC procedure comply with banking regulations and is there a positive statement to that effect in the terms and conditions as well as the cardholder advisements?
4) Although we understand that the bank's and the company's joint AML efforts must remain proprietary, are there clearly defined velocity limits (amount of transfer, frequency of transfer et al) defined in the terms and conditions?
5) Does the bank issuing the product have the appropriate measures in place to support SAR (Suspicious Activity Reporting) for transactions as required by banking regulations
6) If the cards have a direct account attached to them, are those funds guaranteed by the FDIC or the issuing bank's country's regulatory authority?
7) Is the bank aware of the nature of the clients utilizing P2P (i.e. adult)
8) Is the company issuing the product and managing the wallets independently audited and are those audits made public
There are more, just some I came up with off the top of my head.

Some of these questions were sort of answered in the annoucement thread.
- Mastercard is done through Chase Bank (Belize). Apparently same as used by payoneer?
- The "wallet" etc. is done thru Bank Of Montreal (Canada). While the money is insured by the government, that's never going to help if the company goes under.
- PCI full compliance has been issued
