Is BitYard legit and safe?
You can easily answer that for yourself with a little bit of searching.
In June 2020, the official BitYard Crypto Exchange YouTube channel posted a video titled "How to search Bityard's regulatory licenses - Bityard Tutorials". That video answers both questions.
The video shows the home page of BitYard holds proof of licensing in four jurisdictions: Singapore, US, Australia, and Estonia.
The video then goes over each of the licenses, showing where and how to search for each.
Multiple Licenses
Searching for the Singaporean license, as shown in the video, leads to the official Singaporean business registry. Typing in 201938576H, BitYard’s license number from the video, yields the result.
For the US, the video shows the website of the financial authority (FinCen). Typing in the registration code as shown in the video reveals BitYard is registered at 6547 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
For Australia, the address given in the video leads to an area where BitYard established a business.
For Estonia, the video shows how to check a business’ registration information and the BitYard address in Estonia. Checking the address in Google Maps yields a row of stores.
The video also explains how to search the Estonian business registry website to find a business’ operating licenses. It shows BitYard holding two Estonian business licenses in June 2020:
● giving services of virtual currency against a fiat currency exchange
● giving services of a virtual currency wallet
As of June 2020, BitYard had business licenses and registrations in four countries in the world.
