Cryptocurrency exchanges are all required to have anonymity and security. Bundle does a great job at this, as it is one of the most secure exchanges in Africa. Bundle enables you to secure your account using fingerprint, passcode or Face ID depending on the device that you use. This is apart from the mandatory transaction Pin that would be required to perform transactions.
