BRIDGE // Custody / Banks
Digital asset custody
for banks.
Bridge Custody is built so a regulated bank can hold digital assets on behalf of customers without rebuilding its risk and operations playbook. HSM-backed key material, segregation of customer assets, multi-signature approval flows, and audit trails the regulator already understands.
What banks need from custody
Custody for a bank is not the same as custody for a fintech. The supervisory bar is higher, the operational risk model is stricter, and the audit posture is non-negotiable.
All key material lives inside hardware security modules. No private key ever leaves the HSM in cleartext.
Configurable quorum policies with named approvers, time delays, and per-asset thresholds.
Every signing event, policy change, and access decision logged to an append-only ledger.
What you get
Banks deploying Bridge Custody get the technology stack and the operating playbook. We help shape the policy and procedure documents your supervisor will ask to see.
Hardware-backed custody of every customer key, with key ceremony procedures and disaster recovery validated.
Each customer's assets live in segregated address structures, never commingled with bank or other customer holdings.
Configurable quorum policies. Approvers can be named individuals, roles, or external co-signers.
Allowlisting, deny-listing, transfer caps, and AML rules enforced before a transaction reaches the network.
Daily reconciliation reports, regulator-ready exports, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 documentation.
HSM key sharding across geographies, tested disaster recovery, and a documented emergency access procedure.
