It’s already “trusted,” fully regulated and bringing simplified and secured investing to 20+ million customers, the team at Bitpanda wrote in a blog post.
Now, they’re announcing that Visa (NYSE: V) has partnered with Bitpanda, bringing Bitpanda Technology Solutions to its vast network of institutional partners.
Bitpanda exists “to give everyone the opportunity to invest — simply and safely.”
That’s why last month, “to meet the rising demand for trading services, we launched Bitpanda Technology Solutions, their expanded Software-as-a-Service solution (SaaS) that adds new features, asset classes and regulatory licences to its offering.”
By partnering with Bitpanda, Visa brings Bitpanda Technology Solutions “to its network of institutional partners via the Fintech Partner Connect program.”
This will “enable them to benefit from cutting-edge digital asset infrastructure, services and regulatory excellence, and to safely and compliantly offer digital assets to their own customers.”
Through Bitpanda Tech’s robust and fully secure ISO 271001-certified infrastructure, fintechs, traditional banks and online platforms are “able to rapidly give their customers access to a fully regulated and secure trading and custody infrastructure.”
With features such as savings plans, asset-to-asset swaps, crypto staking, fractionalized stocks, a full blockchain service and more, “all able to be turned on and off to suit your needs, it’s your design, our technology — all via one simple API integration.”
These have long been Visa’s principles, and they strongly “relate to them at Bitpanda.”
Since their beginning, they’ve firmly believed in “following the right path, not the easy path.”
That’s why through 9 years of hard-won trading experience, they’ve built Bitpanda “to be as transparent and secure as possible.”
However, for financial institutions “to do the same and meet the ever-growing demand for safe and secure trading, starting from scratch isn’t viable.”
It leads “to high individual costs and huge gaps in time.”
Coupled with how fast our industry moves, “this usually results in products that are outdated before they’re even launched.”
As noted in the update:
“Visa’s partnership with Bitpanda further advances our industry and opens the path to bring investing closer to an even wider audience. Through Bitpanda Tech, Visa’s outstanding networks of financial institutions around the world can now conveniently offer their customers 2,500+ assets across crypto, stocks/ETFs, precious metals & commodities* — all from a fully battle-proofed infrastructure.”
German digital bank N26, French money app Lydia, UK fintech Plum and Italian neobank Hype have “all already partnered with Bitpanda Technology Services, bringing their customers a reliable investment platform that fully complies with the strictest regulatory standards.”
