## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability cryptopulse-crypto-friendly-banking-guide-51d49aa7
```

Example prompt: What banks and neobanks in the United States are crypto-friendly and won't block my transactions, and what on/off ramps should I use to move money between crypto and my bank account?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs to find banks or neobanks that are compatible with crypto activity in a specific country, or when looking for reliable fiat-to-crypto on-ramps and crypto-to-fiat off-ramps by jurisdiction. Prefer this over exchange comparison endpoints when the user's primary concern is their banking relationship rather than trading venue selection.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized country returns empty or generic results
- Country with no known crypto-friendly banks returns limited guidance
- Stale data if banking regulations have recently changed in the target country
- Missing country parameter may return a default or error response

A structured guide listing crypto-compatible banks, neobanks, and on/off ramp services for the specified country, including notes on which institutions are most permissive with crypto activity and recommended methods for converting between fiat and cryptocurrency.
