Vield Partners with Revio Cyber Security to Strengthen Bitcoin-Backed Lending Security
Sydney, August 11, 2026—Vield Pty Ltd, the Australian bitcoin‑backed finance firm, revealed a strategic partnership with Revio Cyber Security that will make the cyber‑security company its dedicated, independent security partner.
The announcement, issued from Sydney, comes amid a growing demand for institutional‑grade protection and third‑party oversight in the digital‑asset space. Vield, which offers Bitcoin‑collateralised credit and safekeeping products, said the collaboration will expand its security infrastructure across the core pillars of its brand—Safety, Security and Transparency. The firm noted that the partnership will help senior leaders implement a risk‑based cyber‑security strategy that covers people, roles, processes and technology.
Founded in 2022 by finance and technology veterans Johnny Phan and Alex, Vield is registered with AUSTRAC as a digital‑currency exchange provider and has approved more than AUD 50 million in loans to over 1,000 clients with zero defaults. The company’s existing security relationships include institutional custody from Zodia Custody and audit work by Hashlock. Revio’s entry adds an independent oversight layer to Vield’s layered, defence‑in‑depth approach.
Revio Cyber Security, founded by John Baird, specialises in readiness, response and recovery for regulated organisations. Baird, a former Chief Technology Officer for Asia/Pacific at Deutsche Bank and former Chairman of the NSW Government Cyber Security Advisory Council, said the firm’s focus is to provide Vield with rigorous, independent oversight that strengthens its defensive posture and supports its commitment to safeguarding client assets.
In a statement, Vield’s CEO Johnny Phan said, “For a Bitcoin‑backed lender, robust cyber‑security leadership is not just an operational requirement; it is the foundation of client trust. By integrating Revio’s independent oversight into our ecosystem, we are actively reinforcing our core pillars of Safety, Security and Transparency, ensuring our clients’ assets are protected by a comprehensive, defence‑in‑depth strategy.”
The partnership is designed to tackle the complexities of digital‑asset security, which demands a multi‑layered approach. Revio’s risk‑based methodology will complement Vield’s existing custody and audit arrangements, creating a more resilient security framework for its bitcoin‑collateralised credit and safekeeping products.
Vield’s website (vield.io) and Revio’s website (revio.tech) provide further details on their respective security infrastructures and product offerings. The collaboration is expected to boost client confidence and could position Vield more competitively in the expanding market for crypto‑backed lending.
This move mirrors a broader trend in the digital‑asset industry, where firms are increasingly seeking independent security oversight to meet regulatory expectations and protect client assets. While the announcement does not disclose financial terms or a specific implementation timeline, it signals Vield’s commitment to maintaining a robust security posture as it expands its product suite.
At present, Vield continues to operate under AUSTRAC registration and maintains its custody relationship with Zodia Custody and audit relationship with Hashlock. The addition of Revio’s oversight marks the latest step in the company’s ongoing effort to strengthen its security infrastructure.
The partnership is slated to become fully operational in the coming months, with Vield and Revio working together to integrate security processes and oversight mechanisms. No immediate regulatory filings or investor disclosures accompany the announcement.
In summary, Vield’s partnership with Revio Cyber Security represents a significant step toward reinforcing the company’s security framework for bitcoin‑collateralised lending. By adding independent oversight to its existing custody and audit arrangements, Vield aims to provide clients with a higher level of confidence in the safety and transparency of its digital‑asset products.
