"The security of our clients is our top priority," said WhiteBIT CEO Volodymyr Nosov, highlighting the platform’s dedication to transparency and user trust in a landscape of evolving digital threats. Over 5 million users currently rely on WhiteBIT, making these security assurances vital for its growing user base.
Achieving PCI DSS certification reinforces WhiteBIT’s standing in the financial sector, attracting institutional partners and retail investors alike. The certification not only distinguishes WhiteBIT from competitors but also aligns it with international payment standards, paving the way for broader acceptance and trust in cryptocurrency platforms.
WhiteBIT emphasized its commitment to maintaining rigorous security standards through continuous audits and testing to ensure ongoing PCI DSS compliance.
