Better privacy with your funds and safer login with watch-only
Safely check your balance and transactions from public Wi-Fi, Starbucks and on the go.
With our unique watch-only mode you can quickly check your balance or receive funds without full access to your wallet.
Your keys are not loaded so no transactions are possible and settings can't be modified.
More features that allow convenient and secure access to your wallet
Enable quick PIN login to your wallet from any of your devices without having to use your passphrase.
Should our system be taken down or disappear, sleep safe with our automatic presigned transaction (nLockTime) allowing you to simply wait for your selected expiry to get your funds!
All transfers to your wallet (including change) will use a newly generated address each time making it harder for people you transact with to read your past and future transactions.

3) Access to user wallets requires that both the user and the service are compromised at the same time which reduces risks.
Under the hood
We use hierarchical deterministic wallets
(using the BIP32 key derivation standard), so we use brand new addresses for incoming transactions and storing change. This improves the privacy of your wallet and allows it to be backed up simply.
Quickly check your balance
You can use your custom username and password to quickly check if you have received a transaction or to check your balance without exposing your wallet, indeed quite convenient when in a hurry and/or on a third party computer.
We provide presigned transactions
In order to provide limits and two factor your funds are secured with both your key and ours. For ease of mind, presigned transaction are enabled (uses nlocktime) which means that each time your wallet has updates we will forward to you a presigned transaction unlocking the funds at a date in the future of your choice.
We use P2SH to make this all easy
P2SH allows people you interact with to handle transactions to and from GreenAddress' wallets transparently.
