Announcing the River iOS App

Alexander Leishman -

Today, the River Financial team is thrilled to announce the launch of our iOS app. We are bringing you the same elevated standard of security, support, and simplicity from our signature desktop product to the River Financial mobile app. After months of developing, testing, and iterating, we are pleased to announce that the River Financial app is now available in the Apple App Store.

Since the launch of River Financial in 2019, expanding our Bitcoin brokerage experience to iOS devices has been the most requested feature from our clients. The River Financial mobile app brings mobility to River’s signature product experience.

Unlike traditional markets, Bitcoin trades 24/7 and the need for mobility and reliability in financial services has never been greater. New clients can sign up for River in the River Financial mobile app and buy Bitcoin within 2 minutes. Existing River clients can take advantage of River’s mobile-first product experience to buy or sell Bitcoin, track their investment performance, and even add a Bitcoin price widget to the home screen of their iPhone.

Sign Up and Buy Bitcoin Within Minutes

With the River Financial mobile app, clients can buy Bitcoin instantly without needing to wait for  fiat funding to settle. Take advantage of market conditions with instant Bitcoin buys and never miss out a Bitcoin price dip.

New users can sign up for a River account, link a bank account, and make their first Bitcoin investment within 2 minutes through the River Financial mobile app.

Tracking Bitcoin Price & Investment Performance

With the River Financial app, clients can view and track their Bitcoin investment performance – anywhere, anytime. Stay informed with the Bitcoin price by adding the Price Widget to the iPhone’s home screen.

Recurring Investments

Setup automated recurring investments from the River Financial mobile app and receive a 20% discount on order fees. Clients can dollar cost average into a Bitcoin position by automating buy orders on a daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly interval.

Trust and Security

At the heart of our business is a commitment to protecting our clients’ assets and elevating the industry’s standard for security practices. River’s top-notch security practices extend to the mobile app to provide our clients with the industry’s most secure and reliable Bitcoin brokerage experience, while also taking advantage of the iPhone’s native security features such as:

  • Face ID and Touch ID authentication
  • Application Firewall
  • Mandatory App Code Signing
  • Sandboxing and Data Vaults
  • KEXT Exclude List

Bitcoin bought on our mobile platform is never stored on your mobile device, so the loss of an iPhone does not mean losing your Bitcoin. Bitcoin bought on the mobile app is secured with River’s industry-leading Bitcoin custody to provide additional assurance that mobility does not compromise security.

Going Mobile & Roadmap

The River Financial mobile app for iOS is a continuation of our efforts to bring our clients the best of Bitcoin. Over the coming months, we will be adding additional features to the mobile app to achieve parity with today’s desktop product. Subsequent updates to the iOS app will enable users to access advanced features of River’s platform including the ability to send/receive Bitcoin and manage tax lots.
