 “I am just delighted with the successful results of our strenuous beta testing. While many are considering ideas and plans for a digital safety deposit box, we have designed and built it, and are now commercializing a first of its kind service that provides our clients with the most sophisticated security and authentication technology available globally, in which our clients enjoy absolute privacy. The VersaVault will now begin rolling out services to cryptocurrency exchanges and crypto investment funds,” David Taylor, President, and CEO of VersaBank and its subsidiary, VersaVault, stated in the official press release.

The company announced the upcoming release in winter, while in Marche, two VersaBank clients joined the testing team. 

According to the press release, the product is designed with the ail to satisfy the requirement of cryptocurrency exchanges and crypto funds in seamless and efficient technological solution that would allow to keep digital assets securely and maintain 100% privacy.
