Get paired with a dedicated relationship manager who provides ongoing support, personalized education, and same-day emergency responses. Signature clients also benefit from reduced trading fees, invitations to private events, and more. 

MULTISIG COLD STORAGE 
With Unchained Vaults, you have total control over your bitcoin using a secure 2-of-3 multisig setup. You hold two keys and Unchained holds one physical enterprise key as a trusted backup. Using that key requires a human-verified authentication review. Our collaborative custody model helps protect you from hacks, mistakes, and lost keys. Even if Unchained disappears, your keys still work and your bitcoin stays yours.

BITCOIN IRA
Unchained's Bitcoin IRA is the only IRA that lets you hold real bitcoin with your own keys. Enjoy tax-advantaged savings and in-vault trading, breeze through 401(k) rollovers in a click, and set up the inheritance protocol. Minimize your third-party risks and other single points of failure. 

BUY BITCOIN DIRECTLY TO COLD STORAGE 
A simple, safe, and private way to buy or sell bitcoin. Trade directly to your Unchained multisig vault with no middlemen, exchange holds, address risks, or counterparty before settlement. Instant execution, fast settlement, and every transaction stays in your hands. Built for holders who value security and speed.

BITCOIN-BACKED COMMERCIAL LOANS 
Get dollar liquidity without selling your bitcoin. Unchained commercial loans keep your bitcoin in secure multisig custody, with a key you control to verify your collateral is never rehypothecated. Since 2017, we have originated over $1 billion in loans with fixed, transparent pricing.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in because the captcha doesn’t work

*2026-05-28, version 2.22*

I’d love to review the actual app…. But I’ve been trying for weeks just to log in, and the captcha never allows me to click on the answers.

### 1/5 — Super buggy

*2025-06-10, version 2.10*

Product was very buggy. Wouldn’t use it with my bitcoin.

### 5/5 — Best there is

*2025-03-05*

Incredible team and app. Nothing better in the space.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration regarding the price notifications and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We are actively working on an update that will allow users to turn off price notifications. Your input is important to us as we work to improve the Unchained mobile app experience for all of our clients. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

### 5/5 — State of the art security for your Bitcoin

*2024-12-22*

When it comes to protecting your wealth, choosing the right security solution is of utmost importance. Unchained provides a 2-of-3 multi-sig wallet requiring you to have two hardware devices. They also maintain a third key themselves. Therefore, you can lose one of the devices and still be able to recover your coins with help from Unchained. However they cannot move your coins by themselves as they only have one key. 

Their user-friendly guides and support make setup and maintenance of your wallet simple even for non-technical users.
