Crypto FAQS
What Questions Can We Answer?
Can I send digital assets to a wallet outside of my financial institution?
No. The two most important goals for us as a financial institution in offering cryptocurrency is to make it as easy and safe to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrency as possible.
To ensure ease and safety, cryptocurrency cannot be sent outside of the financial institution due to security and regulatory reasons.
Can I use my digital assets to make purchases?
At this time, we solely offer the option to purchase, sell, and retain digital assets via your financial institution, but we do not have the capability to make payments or transfer funds.
Are my digital asset holdings with WeStreet taxable?
When you decide to sell your cryptocurrency holdings, it is important to keep in mind that they are subject to taxation just like any other investment asset.
Your annual 1099 will be available for you to access through online or mobile banking by February 15th.
How do I learn more about cryptocurrency?
We offer a robust selection of learning materials to help you understand cryptocurrency.
How is my crypto kept secure?
We use a combination of systems to ensure the crypto you store with WeStreet is secure.
We independently monitor your crypto balance with our qualified custodian daily to ensure there is agreement on the balance between all parties and immediately work to resolve any discrepancies if any do appear.
Crypto being held with our qualified custodians is not used for any other purposes and is there for you when you want to sell it.
Can my cryptocurrency lose value?
Yes, like any investment product, your cryptocurrency may lose (or gain) in value over time. Cryptocurrencies are volatile and unpredictable, meaning their prices can go up and down quickly and without warning.
Many factors can affect a cryptocurrency’s value, such as supply and demand, regulation, hacking, competition, innovation, and market sentiment. You should only invest in cryptocurrencies if you are aware of the risks and willing to accept the potential losses.
Can I deposit digital assets into my crypto account with WeStreet?
Currently, we don’t allow digital asset deposits. You can buy, sell, and hold digital assets on our platform. We plan to offer deposits in the future.
Can I use the Crypto Portal Without Becoming A Member?
Yes. You can open a Secondary Savings Account and use the funds to buy or sell in the Crypto Portal. Apply for a non-member crypto account.
