# Setup

<Info>
  Custodial wallets are an Enterprise plan feature. If you would like to upgrade your account,
  please reach out to [sales@privy.io](mailto:sales@privy.io).
</Info>

In order to create and use Privy custodial wallets, you must go through the setup process with the custodian and enable Privy to create custodial wallets on your behalf. The following steps outlines the process for using Bridge as the custodian.

## Onboard with the custodian

If you don’t already have a Bridge account, request access at Bridge [here](https://apidocs.bridge.xyz/get-started/introduction/quick-start/get-set-up-with-bridge).

### KYC the wallet beneficiaries

A prerequisite for creating custodial wallets is that the wallet beneficiary must have been KYC'd by the custodian.
Register your users with Bridge either [directly via the API or via KYC links](https://apidocs.bridge.xyz/get-started/introduction/quick-start/create-your-first-customer). The `customerId` of each beneficiary will be used as the `provider_user_id` when creating custodial wallets.

<Tip>
  If you have already KYC'ed your users with Bridge, you do not need to KYC them again. Simply use
  the `customerId` for the user as the `provider_user_id` when creating custodial wallets.
</Tip>

## Enabling custodial wallets on your Privy app

### Request access

First, share your Privy app ID with the Privy team to get custodial wallets enabled on your account. You can find your app ID in the [Privy Dashboard](https://dashboard.privy.io/apps?page=settings).

### Generate and register Bridge API keys with Privy

<Info>
  If you have already registered a Bridge API key with Privy for the onramp integration, you can
  skip this step.
</Info>

1. Get a Bridge API from the [Bridge dashboard](https://dashboard.bridge.xyz/).
2. Register the API key in the Privy dashboard: [Configuration > Integrations > Bridge > Production API key](https://dashboard.privy.io/apps?plugin=integrations\&page=integrations).

### Turn on custodial wallets for your specific app in the Privy dashboard

Visit [Wallets > Advanced ](https://dashboard.privy.io/apps?tab=wallets\&page=wallets) and turn on the **Custodial wallets** toggle. Select Bridge as the provider.

<Info>
  If you don't see the custodial wallet settings, access to custodial wallets has not been granted
  to your Privy account. Please make sure you've reached out to the Privy team and that they have
  granted access.
</Info>

You're all set! You can now create and use custodial wallets in your Privy app.
