All assets are held securely in multi signatory insured “cold storage” wallets or as segregated electronic money accounts with the tap e-money partner.

“Crypto needn’t be on the opposite end of the financial spectrum. With a growing market landscape and positive outlook for cryptocurrencies, what we do is combine the legacy of traditional banking with the allure of the crypto market to allow customers to easily access their crypto and use this as an additional or alternative method of personal finance.
“We are the only app with a Mastercard operating in Europe enabling users to instantly transform digital assets into wealth. The crypto tide is happening, and financial institutions who ride the wave could come out on top.”
