What is a cold wallet?

AMINA Bank's cold wallet is an offline custody solution that provides maximum security, as it is only connected to the internet when in use.

It is a fully ‘off-grid’ storage, where hardware and software are completely isolated from the internet with an ‘air gap' between AMINA Bank's cold storage and any other electronic device. Designed to keep your private keys secure using top-tier physical and digital protection. Your assets remain secure and independent with full asset segregation governed by Swiss federal law. 

Due to these additional security measures and in contrast to our hot wallets, withdrawals and transfers out of your cold wallet are subject to a longer processing time of approx. 2h during business hours with a cut off time at 4pm CET.
