Frequently asked questions.
While your digital assets are in our custody, we provide protection through robust systems, processes and technology. We take a multi-layered approach, including separate record-keeping (we never mix different types of funds), storing exactly what you deposit without converting it, and using advanced security measures like multi-step verification, data encryption and ongoing risk monitoring.

BVNK provides modern payments infrastructure for businesses, including financial institutions, payment institutions, trading platforms and gaming companies. BVNK is a high-volume payments platform. We cater for businesses looking to process at least €500,000 in payments a month, with a minimum of 6 months of trading/operating history.
BVNK is a B2B payments platform, serving global businesses in different industries. Using our platform, businesses can store, convert, send and receive payments in 30+ fiat and digital currencies. BVNK is licensed in multiple jurisdictions globally, including as an EMI in the UK and Europe and as a VASP in Europe. We ensure regulatory clarity by separating fiat and blockchain activities under distinct regulatory regimes: Learn more about our licenses.
We segregate (hold separately) customer e-money funds at all times from BVNK’s company funds or the company funds of our banking partners. This means that your e-money funds are protected in the unlikely event that BVNK or one of our e-money partners, becomes insolvent.
