BCB Group’s history

BCB Group was founded in the UK in 2017 and even in our early days our founders were passionate about providing the best financial infrastructure for the new era of digital finance.

They understood the challenges organisations face in holding, transferring and trading funds in the digital economy — and resolved to solve them by building the best financial infrastructure for the blockchain era.

BCB Group has built an international team that understands both the traditional and digital financial worlds, with a strong focus on best-in-industry solutions and regulatory compliance.

This is all facilitated by our commitment to regulatory compliance. BCB Payments Limited is regulated in the UK by the FCA with Firm Reference Number 807377. BCB Markets (Switzerland) Sárl is regulated in Switzerland with business identification number CHE-415.135.958. In April 2024, BCB Payments Europe SASU received authorisation from the ACPR and the AMF respectively to act as an E-Money Institution and Digital Assets Services Provider in France under number 735745 . BCB is continuously striving to expand our licensing footprint and regulatory approvals are being sought in other jurisdictions to offer enhanced services on a global basis.
