# fija App
> Opens **direct customer access**, for retail and institutional investors. [**Click here to access our App.**](https://app.fija.finance/)
The **fija App** is built to be the primary gateway for both individuals and professional firms to access our **DeFi yield strategies**. It serves as a bridge that allows **different types of investors** to manage their positions and monitor assets through a **single**, **clear interface**, regardless of their professional background or technical experience, by providing all necessary information in one place.
* **Retail Users:** It provides a familiar, simple interface that takes the complexity out of interacting with blockchain protocols.
* **Institutional Investors:** It offers a clean, transparent way for treasuries and asset managers to track their funds, supported by our detailed KPIs.
#### Deposit and Withdraw
The app facilitates **direct interaction** with the underlying **smart contracts**, allowing users to enter or exit strategies with a simple action. By presenting **exchange rates** directly, the app ensures that the transition from monitoring to execution is clear.
Investors connect their wallet, choose a strategy according to their personal risk/reward preferences and select how much they want to invest. Transactions are approved in the respective wallet. If users connect the first time, they have to complete the [**KYC/KYB process**](https://fija.gitbook.io/docs/overview/compliance/kyc-kyb-process-and-implementation) before they can invest.
Withdrawals are done by entering the number of fija token that shall be returned (burned). The app calculates the respective withdrawal amount.

Through our **investor dashboard**, users gain immediate access to metrics such as **Current Value**, **Value Earned**, or **APY**. By consolidating performance graphs with key strategy details, the interface allows investors to track their growth and assess risk profiles through data-driven indicators like our [**Safety Score**](https://fija.gitbook.io/docs/overview/strategy-kpis/fija-safety-score). This transparency ensures that users have the necessary context to make thoughtful investment decisions.

#### User onboarding
To maintain a secure and compliant environment, the fija App requires all users to complete a **KYC/KYB** process before interacting with any vault. This procedure ensures that only vetted participants who meet regulatory standards (the ones that get their wallets **whitelisted** through this process) can access our investment strategies. **The KYC/KYB process starts once a wallet is connected.**
Once a user completes the KYC/KYB process he’ll get whitelisted through a manual process.
**Whitelisting** is a core security mechanism built into our smart contracts. This controlled access applies to both entry and exit points: only whitelisted addresses are permitted to make deposits, and similarly, only those same addresses can redeem their tokens to withdraw underlying assets from our vaults.
This process serves as a **bridge** between **traditional legal compliance** and **decentralized technology**. By verifying identities and restricting access to authorized wallets, whitelisting eliminates the risk of unauthorized activity and ensures that all activity stays within a strictly governed, professional framework.

#### White label Apps
The **fija App** is designed with a modular architecture that allows it to be **white-labeled** for **partners**. This flexibility enables partners to align the interface with their own logo while **selecting specific functionalities** that suit their business model. Partners, for example, can determine which dashboard features are visible to their clients and which documents should be made visible, e.g. KID or KPI PDFs.
Beyond visual branding, partners can also manage the **governance** of their dedicated vaults. This includes the ability to choose whether users must undergo a **KYC** process and the empowerment to handle the **whitelisting** of addresses themselves. By providing these administrative controls, the platform allows partners to maintain direct oversight of their customer relationships and ensure that access to their specific yield strategies remains secure and compliant with their internal policies.
