Following the release of our Bitwala messenger just earlier this month, we are excited to be officially launching our Bitwala wallet!
What is it?
You can now set up your own Bitwala wallet right from your Bitwala user account. Through seamless website integration, the Bitwala wallet allows users to pay and send bitcoins from within the Bitwala site. Rather than having a separate wallet outside of Bitwala, the Bitwala wallet makes it even easier for making payments, receiving funds and managing your financials.
You're in charge
The Bitwala wallet allows users to have full control over their money. Each user will be required to set up a separate password that is different from their account password for their wallet. No one can take or freeze your funds as you will be solely responsible for the safety of your own wallet.
One stop shop
The wallet allows you to have full access to all of your financial data where you can easily view your ATM transactions, debit card transactions and view the amount of bitcoins you have right on your user dashboard.
With this launch, you will have a full on Bitcoin banking experience as you will have the ability to manage your debit card spendings and your Bitcoins all in one place.
As with all our products and services, we apply high-security standards and compliance for our customers. The Bitwala wallet currently supports Bitcoin exclusively, with plans to include Ether, DASH and more cryptocurrencies on the list.
I see the Bitwala wallet as one of the most important pillars of our success. Usability is vital when handling expenses with bitcoins and with our wallet, we are a step closer to bringing Bitcoin into the mainstream. Spending, holding and sending Bitcoins and Fiat has never been easier. - Jörg von Minckwitz, CEO of Bitwala
