Bitpanda completes first agreed-upon procedures with KPMG

At Bitpanda, we value the security of user funds as well as regulatory compliance. Since the company’s inception in December 2014, we have constantly been overdelivering on both topics. To be able to give those values more legitimacy, we started to work with KPMG, one of the top four accounting firms in the world.

Bitpanda commissioned its auditor, KPMG, to perform agreed-upon procedures as of the 30th of November, 2020 regarding the BTC, ETH and XRP funds of Bitpanda Users, to verify whether these funds are covered by the corresponding crypto-funds stored on Bitpanda’s cold wallets.

In the scope of an in-depth agreed-upon procedures, KPMG analysed our crypto cold wallets for BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum) and XRP (XRP). These assets were chosen because they are the most popular on Bitpanda and more assets will follow in the future. Such procedures assure Bitpanda users of the availability of the user funds shown in each customer wallet as of the 30th of November, 2020. The results of the procedures performed by KPMG can be requested and downloaded on our website.
