For banks & financial institutions
We help your bank obtain a Crypto Asset Service Provider licence from the Central Bank of Bahrain, then plug a fully regulated crypto trading layer directly into your existing platform. Your customers buy and sell digital assets through your interface, under your brand — and you earn a margin on every transaction.
The proposition
Your customers are already buying crypto — just not through you. They are using unregulated exchanges, taking on custody risk, and sending money out of your ecosystem. We change that. We give you a fully integrated, regulated crypto service that lives inside your platform and keeps your customers where they belong.
Our API connects to your existing core banking system. Your customers see crypto buy/sell capabilities inside your app or web dashboard — no redirection, no third-party branding.
We hold all regulatory licences for crypto custody and trading. Your bank does not need new approvals. We operate under our framework; you operate under yours.
You define the spread you charge your customers on each trade. We apply it automatically at execution and remit your share on a monthly settlement cycle.
The journey
We walk alongside your bank through every stage, from the CBB application to your customers' first trade.
Your bank must hold a Crypto Asset Service Provider licence issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain under CBB Rulebook Volume 6. We prepare your business plan, governance framework, AML/compliance policies, and application documentation, and support you through the CBB review process, which typically takes 2–6 months.
Once your licence is confirmed, we agree your margin rate, supported crypto assets, and go-live scope. A clear partnership agreement sets out liability, settlement cycles, and ongoing operational responsibilities.
Our team connects our API to your core banking platform. We provide a white-label interface that inherits your design system, or a headless API if you prefer to build the front-end yourself.
Your customers activate crypto from their existing account. From the first trade, your agreed margin is collected automatically. Monthly statements show volume, transaction fees, and your revenue — all fully auditable.
Your margin
Crypto trading generates fee income, not credit exposure. Your bank earns on flow, not on holding positions.
| Revenue source | How it works | Your share |
|---|---|---|
| Trading spread | You mark up the interbank rate to your customer | 0.50 – 1.50% |
| Custody fee | Annual fee on customer holdings — collected passively | 0.20 – 0.40% p.a. |
| Conversion fee | Local currency ↔ crypto at settlement | 0.10 – 0.25% |
| Combined per active customer | Based on typical regional retail volume | 0.80 – 2.15% |
Your bank never holds crypto positions. We handle custody and liquidity. You earn fee income on flow — with none of the price risk.
You choose what spread to charge your customers. We provide the interbank rate; everything above it is yours.
Every customer holding crypto generates recurring annual revenue — even in months with zero new trades.
Customers sending money to external exchanges are leaving your ecosystem. Offering crypto in-platform keeps those funds with your bank.
Why now
Crypto adoption in the GCC is accelerating. The banks that move first will define the category for their customers.
Your customers are trading crypto today — on Binance, OKX, and Bybit. That flow is leaving your institution. We bring it back.
The CBB and regional regulators have established crypto asset frameworks. The compliance path for bank-embedded crypto is now well-defined.
The bank that launches crypto first in your market earns a customer acquisition story that no competitor can replicate.
Under-40 account holders rank crypto access as a top-3 feature when choosing a bank. Not offering it is increasingly a reason to switch.
Customers trust their bank far more than any exchange. You are extending a relationship they already have with you.
Our standard integration timeline is 60–90 days from signed agreement to live customers. We have done it before and our stack is built for it.
We work with banks directly — no intermediaries. A first call takes 30 minutes and will give you a clear picture of what integration looks like for your institution.
