Creand Crèdit Andorrà launches CryptoWallet, a new cryptoasset trading and custody service via online banking
The new digital asset service is fully integrated into the bank’s app, a secure and user-friendly platform accessible at any time.
Creand Crèdit Andorrà has launched a new cryptoasset trading and custody service, fully embedded within its online banking platform. This service enables clients to invest via the bank’s app in the leading cryptoassets as an additional asset class to complement their investment portfolios. It is available 24 hours a day and can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Clients will see a consolidated and unified view of their positions within online banking, with cryptoasset holdings displayed seamlessly alongside the rest of their investments and accounts.
The new CryptoWallet service allows for the custody and execution of buy and sell orders for Bitcoin and Ethereum in euros, custody of Tether, and the transfer of cryptoassets between wallets—all directly within the Online Banking app. The integration of the service within the bank’s online banking platform gives clients the option to manage their cryptoassets in the same way as they manage the rest of their investments. Clients can also transfer cryptoassets from an external wallet without incurring any inbound transfer fees.
This service enables clients to invest in cryptoassets through the bank in a straightforward and independent way, within a secure and trusted environment. The bank offers the new service to clients through a partnership with Onyze, a leading digital asset custody provider in Spain. This strategic agreement allows Creand to adopt high standards of technological innovation and security, ensuring full compliance with national regulations as well as European and industry standards relating to cryptoassets.
Albert Santisteve, Chief Technology and Security Officer at Creand Crèdit Andorrà, commented that “for us, it is particularly important that the cryptoasset trading and custody service is seamlessly embedded within our online banking platform and, therefore, aligned with the rest of the client’s traditional financial products. This means clients can view their positions 24/7 and carry out transactions whenever they wish, in a quick and intuitive way. We are expanding our service offering from a secure, trusted and accessible environment, available at any time via the mobile app”.
Ángel Luis Quesada, CEO of Onyze, said that “this launch marks a turning point for both Creand and Onyze. It is a key milestone that highlights the maturity of the digital asset sector and affirms the strength of our market-leading technology in Spain. From today, clients of Creand Crèdit Andorrà will be able to trade cryptoassets directly through their bank, within a secure, regulated and fully integrated environment”.
The inclusion of crypto within Creand Crèdit Andorrà’s commercial offering strengthens its value proposition for clients seeking additional investment alternatives, without the need to rely on external platforms.
