What is Bitwala?
Together with its partner bank, Bitwala offers a bank account that
combines easy and secure cryptocurrency trading and reliable everyday
banking in one account.
Bitwala’s investors include High Tech
Gründerfonds, ALSTIN, the investment arm of the Maschmeyer group, and
Digital Currency Group, a New York VC focusing on blockchain innovations,
Earlybird Venture Capital and coparion.
The current account comes with a debit card and a user-controlled bitcoin wallet for maximum security and freedom. Since the account is regulated in Germany by the BaFin (German financial regulator) all user funds up to €100,000 are protected by the guarantee scheme of German banks.
