MoonPay, the global payments solution for cryptocurrency, has acquired a stake in BCB Group, Europe’s leading provider of business accounts and trading services for the digital asset economy.
The deal will see the two businesses working together to further enable additional fiat rails and cryptocurrency services to their respective clients and allow them to further expand their offerings worldwide, bringing crypto on and off ramps to new geographical markets.
MoonPay is a current client of BCB Group and through this investment will become a strategic partner. The investment follows BCB Group’s appointment of MoonPay’s Chief Growth Officer, Zeeshan Feroz, as an advisor in February.
In March, BCB Group closed an investment round to fund upcoming initiatives such as BCB Treasury, which aims to help companies invest in bitcoin as a treasury asset, BCB Yield Accounts and BCB Wealth Partners, designed to provide a crypto service for private wealth clients.
