Swan Bitcoin Unveils Swan Vault Plus for Enhanced Security
The latest features provide families and businesses greater control over their Bitcoin assets.
Swan Bitcoin, a leading Bitcoin wealth platform, has announced significant upgrades to its Swan Vault, a self-custody solution aimed at clients who desire to own Bitcoin directly. The new introduction is called Swan Vault Plus, which adds a layer of human-verified withdrawal protection to ensure clients feel secure about their transactions.
The upgrades enhance user experience with live video verification for Bitcoin transfers made through the Swan Vault dashboard. These video confirmations serve as a critical layer of security aimed at preventing fraud such as account takeovers, scams, and mistakes.
Key Features of Swan Vault Plus
With the new Vault Plus feature, users are required to undergo a streamlined video verification process whenever they initiate Bitcoin withdrawals. This ensures their identity is solidly confirmed before any transactions take place.
What Users Can Expect:
- A baseline verification process using video to establish user identity.
- Mandatory live video confirmation needed for all withdrawals.
- A safety window of 72 hours after verification, during which the account is locked down automatically.
- Effective protection against fraud, ensuring peace of mind for users.
This thoughtful inclusion promotes better security and gives clients an added safety net, allowing them to have peace of mind when accessing their Bitcoin assets.
Upgraded Signing Hardware for Better Usability
