Introducing Insured Deposits

We're excited to announce a groundbreaking new feature available now to all Fold users: Insured Deposits. This feature allows anyone to deposit or receive bitcoin directly into institution-grade cold storage custody covered by $250M of insurance.

Whether you're saving bitcoin for the future or using bitcoin for your daily financial needs, Insured Deposits opens up new possibilities:

Here’s what you can do with your Insured Deposits:

  • Unlimited Bitcoin Deposits: Deposit as much bitcoin as you need into your account.
  • Receive Bitcoin from Friends: Seamlessly receive bitcoin from others into your account.
  • Spend Bitcoin on Your Debit Card: Push to card and use your bitcoin for all your purchases. 
  • Pay Bills via Account and Routing Number: Cover all your largest monthly bills.
  • Withdraw Cash from any ATM: Convert your bitcoin into cash whenever you need, using any ATM.

Fold has partnered with BitGo to ensure that your bitcoin is held securely in cold storage, covered by insurance from Lloyd’s of London. This is the same institutional-grade custody solution used by major Bitcoin ETFs, providing you with a safe place to hold your bitcoin while ensuring full availability to serve your daily, monthly, and long-term financial plans. Enhanced personal insurance coverage to further protect your assets is also available. If you hold over $100k in bitcoin and would like to be contacted about additional coverage please visit foldapp.com/insurance
