In addition, BitGo Business Wallet clients can buy Theft Insurance and Lost Key Cover, a key recovery service, through Digital Asset Services, an insurance provider overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority, the UK financial services regulator. The Lost Key Cover is will be available for Business Wallet clients to purchase either as an annual subscription or when needed.
