Approaches are described for contingent transfers of value. A configuration record for an account associated with a virtual wallet is obtained.

Thereafter, the virtual wallets can be utilized to exchange tangible and virtual digital currencies in various financial transactions, banking operations, and other asset exchanges and/or utilized for another purpose such as exchanging an irreversible transfer of value as in a virtual currency to a reversible transfer of value as in fiat currency or a financial instrument.
