Your funds
should move
as easy as
you wish
We believe your family should receive your money in no time when it needs to. We don’t want you to lose money and peace of mind when you do it. We believe you could pay digitally in a physical store just because you feel like it. We believe you can get your salary on a digital wallet without any fear of loss. We believe you should get funds from your peers without them having to pay hidden fees or wait for an unnerving amount of time until things get done.
What is the state of international transfers right now? Exclusive. Not digital. Bureaucratic. Conditional. Most importantly, slow. It keeps people far from each other and their needs. It keeps people anchored to the belief that digital in finance equals amateur and insecure. And it keeps people blocked in processes they don’t want and costs they don’t need to pay. We are committed to changing the state of the art so you can be on the other side of these barriers.
We transform, simplify, and innovate the system for you to feel empowered, connected, and liberated with the agility of digital payments on blockchain tech and the strength of traditional banking. So that your wishes can move faster. And your money, too.
Speed up transfers. Save
money. Pay digital
Request or send money faster. Remit safely to anyone via secure payment links. Get your P2P transfer in minutes via blockchain. Your money, your choice. Our choice? We make sure only the best financial institutions have your back. Your time, money, and budgetary goals all count. That’s why we strive to let you save the former and reach the latter directly from your phone. Barriers free. Risk free.
WHY DO WE
MATTER?
No threats,
zero stress.
We want to make sure your transactions are smooth and your money is always safe. That’s why we operate on a PCI level 1 environment. Our cybersecurity measures and enhanced monitoring program, coupled with strict adherence to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, keep your assets shielded from cyber threats and potential theft.
We invest in transparency.
We subject ourselves to external audits conducted by independent third-party experts. We do this regularly, every 6 months. This practice guarantees that we operate fairly and squarely, providing you with the utmost peace of mind.
We earn your
trust.
At Unblock, we operate under the strict guidance of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). This regulatory oversight ensures that our operations adhere to the highest standards, minimizing the risk of any fraudulent activity.
You will always come first.
We have your back, no matter where you are. We want your transactions to be seamless, other than time and cost-effective, from anywhere in the world. Our focus will always be on your assets and on how we should keep researching and innovating for your goals to be closer and your life to be easier.
