BCB group

BCB Group is a digital financial services firm based in the UK that provides a comprehensive suite of payment processing, cryptocurrency trading, and custody services to institutional clients through a unified API-enabled platform. The company offers business accounts, foreign currency exchange, and cryptocurrency liquidity for enterprises, including major cryptocurrency exchanges like Bitstamp, Coinbase, Galaxy, and Tagomi. BCB Group stands out for its proprietary API technology and integration with Corda, allowing clients to access a wide range of digital asset services seamlessly.

As of June 2023, BCB Group secured its Authorised Payment Institution (API) license from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, establishing itself as the first and only crypto-focused Authorised Payment Institution regulated by the FCA. The company is also regulated by the VQF, a self-regulatory organization recognized by FINMA in Switzerland. By the end of 2019, BCB Group had onboarded over 140 corporate clients across 32 countries, with an average monthly volume growth of 207%.

In April 2024, BCB Group obtained regulatory approval from France's ACPR and AMF to act as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) and Digital Assets Services Provider (DASP), paving the way for the company's expansion into the European Economic Area. This move was driven by France's clear regulations for responsible innovation in fintech and digital assets, as well as its dynamic banking ecosystem.
