This unique feature not only includes instant funding and low fees, but it removes the hassle of moving bitcoin from an exchange into self custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to introduce this much-requested feature,\u201d said Sriram Bhargav Karnati, co-founder of Theya, in a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine. \u201cBy enabling direct bitcoin purchases into self-custodial storage, we\u2019re eliminating the need for complex transfers from exchanges and providing our users with unparalleled flexibility in how they acquire and store their Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other key benefits of this new feature include a quick identity verification process, which ensures fast and secure bitcoin purchases, and as well as the elimination of address whitelisting (obtaining permission from an exchange to send your bitcoin to a certain address).<\/p>\n

The new feature currently leverages the ACH payment system for bitcoin purchases, and Theya plans to introduce a wire transfer option for larger purchases.<\/p>\n

To enable ACH transfers, Theya partnered with Cybrid<\/a>, a regulated payment platform registered as a Money Service Business (MSB) in the US. Cybrid manages the Know Your Customer (KYC)<\/a> process so that Theya doesn\u2019t have to collect, store or process the personal information of its customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a significant step forward in making Bitcoin acquisition both accessible and secure,\u201d added Karnati. \u201cWe believe in empowering users with choices in how they manage their Bitcoin, and we\u2019re dedicated to developing tools that make self-custody straightforward, powerful, and user-friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n
