OUR INVESTORS

AS SEEN ON

VISION

Accelerate the world toward a bitcoin standard by enabling the Dual Money Era: save and pay in bitcoin, transact in euros.

Truth over optics

Less marketing fluff, more meaningful value for our users. We care deeply about being objectively innovative rather than appearing to do so.

Financial sovereignty

Your Bitcoin stays yours. We’re committed to self-custody, so you remain in full control of your funds. We never compromise on that.

Compliance first

Always work within the green zone - within the legal boundaries; we will never compromise on this. We strictly follow EU regulatory standards.

ABOUT

Our team

We're a small, international team united by a shared belief: Bitcoin should be practical, not just theoretical. Based across Tallinn and Portugal, we combine deep expertise in Lightning Network infrastructure, European fintech compliance, and mobile development with the real-world experience of actually living on Bitcoin.

We provide accounting friendly statement exports in the format that is widely accepted and used which should make it easy for accountants.

Why do I need to verify my identity?

Bringin adheres to European regulations to be able to exchange and issue a vIBAN in your name and provide debit cards. These services are not available without Know Your Customer verification. Completing KYC information only takes 2 minutes.
