These charges cover the infrastructure needed to ensure seamless operation of key functionalities such as Subscriptions to Notifications, Virtual Account deposit address scanning, and KMS transaction monitoring.

Virtual Accounts – Deposit Address Scanning
Every deposit address assigned to a Virtual Account is automatically monitored for incoming transactions. This scanning ensures that deposits are detected reliably, but it incurs a daily cost of 20 credits per address.
Attention
Charges apply even if no deposits occur, since the system continues monitoring for potential activity.
Useful Links:
- Generate Deposit Address – create a new deposit address for a Virtual Account.
- Assign Address as Deposit Address – link an existing address to a Virtual Account.
- Delete a Deposit Address – stop monitoring and prevent further daily charges.
KMS (Key Management System) – Transaction Scanning
When using Tatum’s KMS to automatically scan for pending transactions, daily charges are also applied. These charges depend on your configured scanning routines.
