    At Swan, we design our protection and security services with real human interactions at the heart of securing your Bitcoin.

    When your Bitcoin is held with Swan, Swan Safe and Swan Guard work together to protect it — combining segregated and regulated custody with intelligent security oversight.

    Today, we’re introducing Swan Safe Plus — direct, human-verified protection for your Bitcoin and USD withdrawals, powered by Swan’s team of experts.

    How Swan Safe Plus Works

    Swan Safe Plus establishes a secure video baseline with you, then uses it for live identity verification before any assets can be withdrawn from your personal account. The setup process takes just a few minutes:

    • Withdrawals are locked as soon as Safe Plus is enabled

    • An initial video baseline is created to verify against when withdrawals are initiated

    • To approve any withdrawal, you complete a brief video verification call with Swan’s team

    • Two members of Swan’s team independently confirm your identity against the baseline video

    • After approval, your withdrawal window stays open for 24 hours, then automatically re-locks

    • Safe Plus cannot be turned off without completing a video verification call to confirm

    • Safe Plus is internally secured by a full stack of SOC2-compliant controls and secure processes

    This creates a final, human-verified checkpoint against a baseline that blocks common attack paths, such as SIM swaps, email compromise, social engineering, and device theft, even if a bad actor obtains access to your device or email.

    This is especially powerful when combined with other Swan Guard protections, such as dynamic risk monitoring, enhanced fraud screening, and on-chain scam defense. Together, they form layered defenses that protect real people with real balances.

    Pricing and availability

    • Available to U.S.-based Swan Private clients for Personal and Business accounts

    • 0.06% of assets under custody, billed monthly, in lieu of the standard Swan Safe fee

    Your Swan Private representative can answer any questions and assist you in getting started.

    How to enable Swan Safe Plus

    • Go to your Dashboard in your Swan account using the web interface or mobile app

    • Select Swan Safe Plus and review the feature overview

    • Agree to the fee schedule and complete a quick setup

    • Schedule your initial video baseline call with the Swan team

    • Your account is now enabled, with live verification required for any withdrawal

    Your Bitcoin represents more than value. Swan Safe Plus adds the human touch that technology alone can’t provide, ensuring that your wealth is secured for generations.

    Real Bitcoin, real security, verified by real people.
