The Clef team recently got to spend some time with BSave founder and CEO, Jonathan Azeroual, at the North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami, where the BSave product was officially launched to the public. For the first time, Bitcoin owners could earn interest by the minute on their holdings by opening a BSave account and not have their funds locked up for weeks and months, and get paid interest daily! The platform allows individuals to create an account, transfer their bitcoin into the new account, and start earning competitive interest rates immediately. Interest is credited to customer accounts on a daily basis, and presently BSave sites a 2.89% APR for customer accounts. BSave also guarantees full liquidity on all accounts and customers can withdraw funds at any time without financial penalties. The company has implemented a suite of security measures, the latest of which is an integration with Clef, to assure the maximum level of account security to its customers.

BSave seeks to be the customer’s “first choice” when shopping for Bitcoin savings platforms. The Bsave mission is to enable a “value solution to Bitcoin savers.” Those values were evident in our conversations at the North American Bitcoin Conference. The value and benefits of saving and the ease of use of tools that help individuals to save were topics of conversation in Miami between our respective teams. BSave is a simple solution that demands the best security. Jonathan says, “Bsave holds Bitcoin for our customers and we pay them interest DAILY. Our customers want to know their bitcoin is safe with us. Clef is the Rolls Royce of the 2FA world; smooth, secure, rock solid.” Clef with Distributed Authentication met the high standards set by BSave and seemed like a perfect fit.

In addition to the basic cryptographic login that Clef offers, BSave has also integrated Clef’s advanced protections through a feature called, “Distributed Authentication.” Normally, when you log in with Clef, all of the cryptography happens on the Clef server, and then your information is passed to whatever site you’re logging in to. With Distributed Authentication, the site gets a copy of your public key from the Clef server to verify the login. The site then sends a challenge to the Clef app on your phone, where you confirm and sign it. This lets the partner site verify the login independently of the Clef server, so that even in extreme cases of compromise, your account is still protected.

When asked what the single best aspect of Clef was, Jonathan answered, “Our customers can do 2FA with a scan, that’s it. A text or a token is a real pain point for Bsave transactions and can seem daunting to prospective users. Everyone can scan a picture and/or press one button on their phone. Clef just works. Period.”

The team at Clef is also excited about this integration. BSave introduces a number of unique features on its platform that we think are great for users. Some highlights include:

  • Simplification of the savings process. Everyone agrees that saving ahead of big purchases is a smart practice, but many savings tools offer little reward and can be complex to set up, or have a lot of fees. BSave is simple to set-up savings, rewarded with one of the highest APRs available for a savings account.
  • A Groundbreaking product from proven financial market experience. The BSave team is bringing a wealth of career experience in financial markets and applying it to innovate Bitcoin. BSave provides an incentive to transfer holdings from traditional currency into Bitcoin, which builds more credibility for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency business space in general.
  • Quick and easy account creation. A new user can log in using Clef and an account is automatically created for them which includes a free bitcoin wallet, that you can use right away. BSave has removed many of the obstacles and time lag experienced when opening up a traditional savings account.

If you have the Clef app on your phone, you can go on over to BSave right now and register a new account. If you don’t have Clef yet, download it from the iOS or Android app stores.

“The hardest client to impress is the new client and the last thing any prospective customer wants to do is create another username and password. With Clef, you just need to have a smartphone. Done.” — Jonathan Azeroual, CEO, BSave
