About us
We are the Swiss gateway to cryptocurrencies for a decentralized future.
Our company's journey into the world of cryptocurrencies began in 2014. Bity was founded on the conviction that blockchains, and other technologies for decentralization, will have some of the most profound social implications in history, and that's something we wanted to be part of.
Mission and values
Together we are exploring and challenging the boundaries of traditional finance by opening up the world to a decentralized economy through the blockchain. We strive to create a future where any transaction that can be made with fiat money can also be made with cryptocurrencies, but empowering people to always be in complete control of their own funds.
Our mission
To build a universal cryptocurrency gateway that provides secure and reliable products and services.
Our goal
To empower digital nations.
We believe in:
- A decentralized economy that will help to build a better financial world, one that is fair and accessible to everyone.
- Being technologically agnostic.
- Protecting individual rights.
- Focusing on stability, integrity, security, privacy, and innovation.
