What is Rise? A payout platform many prop firms use. Your payout lands as a USD stablecoin balance (USDC) that you withdraw to a bank account or crypto wallet. It is not a bank and has no deposit insurance. Withdrawing to a US bank is free; local-currency or international withdrawals (e.g. to a South African bank) cost about $10–$25.
