Bitwala - Bitcoin & Ether Trading, Wallets, Euro Account & Visa Debit Card
Welcome to our official Bitwala Bitcointalk Thread
We're excited to announce our comeback. At Bitwala, our commitment to making the world of cryptocurrencies more accessible and user-friendly has persisted. With the launch of our new app, we're continuing our mission.
Starting a new chapter, we reintroduce Bitwala’s most valued features from the past—simple custody, self-custody, trading, a euro account, and a debit card—in the face of extraordinary macroeconomic challenges in the world.
Our partnership with Striga enables the efficient management of regulatory obligations through specialised APIs, allowing us to focus on delivering an enhanced, user-centric crypto-banking experience.
Bitwala’s Key Products and Services
- Mobile App: You can manage your Bitwala account and transactions on the go, using our mobile app for both Android and iOS.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum Wallets: You can store, send and receive bitcoin and ether using self-custody wallets called Vaults and custody wallets.
- Euro Account: You receive an individual virtual IBAN that welcomes SEPA deposits from and withdrawals to a bank account that is registered in your name.
- Crypto Trading: You can buy and sell bitcoin and ether 24/7 with instant settlements on your wallets and your euro account.
- Visa Debit Card: You can order a debit card enabling you to spend your bitcoin, ether, and euro balances and withdraw cash from an ATM.
Security
We prioritise security and recommend using our self-custody wallets for long-term storage. The Bitcoin Vaults are safeguarded by a 2-out-of-3-multi-signature setup, and the Ethereum Vaults are safeguarded by a seed phrase. In both cases, the seed phrases are shown to the user ONLY ONCE during the setup of the Vault. At no point does Bitwala have access to or knowledge of the seed phrases. Ensuring the secure storage of the seed phrases (private keys) by the user is paramount.
Compliance & Availability
Regulated in Europe, Bitwala is available for residents of the countries within the European Economic Area, with one exception—Germany. We are actively working to extend our services to Germany as soon as possible.
