      How do I set up a trust account?

      If you are the trustee, you can onboard your trust to an Unchained account.

      Unchained offers the ability to add a trust account with the same sign in credentials as an individual account. Dedicated accounts provide the best multisig solution for trusts looking to secure bitcoin and maintain key control.

      Note: We have separate guides for setting up different accounts:

      We only service accounts with a U.S. residential address. We do not allow creation of international accounts at this time.

      Sign up for a basic Unchained account.

      1. Create an Unchained account on our website.
        • Alternatively, you can start the process via the Unchained mobile app, but you'll need to use a desktop or laptop computer to complete the process and upload keys.
      2. Complete your basic profile. You will need to provide us with your personal information. 
      3. Once your basic information is submitted and approved, you will have the option to create your trust account.
