[Update] Your investment, your assets: Why your money is safe with Bitpanda

Who owns your assets? 

When you invest with Bitpanda, you do. You are the beneficial owner of your crypto assets and we hold them in custody, as a trustee. It’s your investment, your assets - we just keep them safe. All crypto assets are held in a highly-secure cold storage environment and they are regularly audited by an external auditor. As a result, if something goes wrong, you cannot be treated as an unsecured creditor and you don’t risk losing your assets. Instead, you assert the right of separation under Austrian law. So whether you want to move it, trade it, invest it or grow it; it’s your investment, your choice. 

How can you transfer assets to Bitpanda?

Want to keep your assets safe? We’re more than happy to hold them in custody for you. All you have to do is:

• Login to your Bitpanda account on the web platform
• Click “Deposit”
• Click “Cryptocurrencies”
• Click “Create new address”
• Use the deposit address to transfer your assets safely to Bitpanda (Always triple check the assets sent are compatible so that they aren’t lost)
