Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an online security measure that helps to protect an online account from hackers.   With two-factor authentication, hackers must not only get access to your email, but also a one-time code generated by an authenticator app on your mobile device.

We never want anyone except you to access your account, so we have instituted a two-factor identification process to our sign-in process in order to reduce the chances that someone other than you gains access to your account.

An authenticator app is an app that adds 2FA to accounts you want to protect. When you set up your account for 2FA, you will receive a secret key to enter into the authenticator app. This establishes a secure connection between the authenticator app and your account. Once this secure connection is established, the authenticator app will generate a 6-8 digit code that is required to access your account, similar to the access code a website would email to you.

What makes an authenticator app secure is that it is constantly generating new, temporary access codes. Even if a hacker has your password, they would still need this access code to login. But because these passcodes are continually changing, it’s nearly impossible for a hacker to crack the code before a new code is created. In other words, for anyone to access your protected account, they must know your password and have access to your phone in a very short time frame.

If you already have an authenticator app, by all means, use the one you already have*. If you don’t yet have an authenticator app, our primary recommendation is to use Google Authenticator. Google Authenticator is a best-in-class provider of two-factor identification. It is easy to use and quite versatile.

If you are uncomfortable using Google products, our second recommendation is to use “Authy”.

Currently, you can deposit Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Tether (USDT) to your BitLine Wallet. While it is likely that other digital assets will be added at a later date, your collateral is limited to these assets.

Currently, BitLine only works with cryptocurrency transactions. We do not yet permit fiat currencies.  We do plan on adding fiat services in Q4 2023. We will keep you informed on updates and additions.

Applicable rates are indexed to those used by industry-leading platforms, as we may choose to use from time to time, in our sole discretion. We currently use rates provided by B2C2 and FTX. We may change these rate sources at any time and without giving prior notice or updating these Terms, and no claims regarding our choice of rate sources or rates made available by any third party are permitted.

You choose a beneficiary (Vendor) to receive a Bitline Transaction from the Vendor menu located in the BitLine app. As vendors are approved and become apart of the network this list will expand. If you would like to request a specific venue not on our list, please do so by contacting us here.

The minimum is $5,000 USD.

The fee is 5% of the Bitline Transaction amount. If you unlock your Bitline Transaction after the completion of a 14 day term your fees will increase to 7.5%.  If you allow your Bitline Transaction to close automatically at the end of a 30 day period, your fees will increase to 10%.

Yes, you can have as many active Bitline Transactions as your collateral supports. All Bitline Transactions are vendor specific. While you can have many different Transactions, they are linked to the specific Venue. Understanding your maximum Transaction amount and specifying the amount you want to use at different venues is easily achievable through the application.

Yes, you may issue Bitline Transactions to multiple venues. Remember that the total value of your Transaction amount is dependent on your digital asset deposit. You can split this value to many different Vendors. Each Vendor requires their own Bitline Transaction but your Transactions can be split to different vendors.

Yes, if you no longer want to apply your Bitline Transaction in your chosen venue, you can cancel your pending Transaction by clicking “Delete”. As long as you delete this Transaction before activating it with the Venue it can be cancelled and reapplied to a different venue.

Yes, you can. First, you have to delete your pending Bitline Transaction with the venue it was created.  Then you can create a new Transaction in your desired new venue.

Once you have completed the KYC process and deposited your digital assets, you can then apply a Bitline Transaction to a vendor. Upon acceptance a QR code will be given to you which you must present at the cashier of the selected venue in order to activate your Transaction.

Yes, the Vendor can approve or decline your Bitline Transaction. There are many reasons why this can happen and there is a resolution process. If you wish to discuss any declined application, please contact us here.

A Locked Bitline Transaction is when the Vendor accepts your Transaction and your crypto collateral becomes locked. This is accomplished by turning in your QR code at the cashier of the Vendor. At this point, the benefits of the Transaction can be received.

An Unlocked Bitline Transaction is when you fully covered your Transaction and the vendor releases your locked digital assets. You can view all your Bitline Transactions and the balance of your digital assets on the Transaction page of the Bitline App.

The total digital asset amount will be liquidated to settle any outstanding debts with your chosen Vendor along with any associated fees. Any remaining digital asset amount remaining will be released back into your BitLine wallet.

You have 30 days to unlock your Bitline Transaction. Fees and rebates vary based on the number of days you use your Bitline Transaction.

If you unlock your Bitline Transaction before the completion of the 30 day term you may be eligible for a rebate on your Transaction fees. Transactions that are unlocked within 7 days will be eligible for a 50% rebate. Transactions that are unlocked after 7 days but within 14 days will be eligible for a 25% rebate.

No, you can either close the transaction directly from the Bitline Transaction page in your Bitline application, or you can also unlock your Bitline Transaction in person at the cashier of the vendor.
