Bitwala announced two days ago, on August 29, that they will launch an iOS and Android App. Mobile users will be given the opportunity to open a German Bank account with an integrated bitcoin wallet and trading platform.
As it is stated in the press release report, “the account opening process is just reduced to just a few minutes”. Biwala will also enable more than 30 European countries to buy, sell and store bitcoins.
The accounts are hosted by solarisBank. SolarisBank is a Berlin-based tech platform with a German banking license and it is supervised by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).
The German company will also provide its account holders with a free debit card that can be used for payments and withdrawals at over 40 million locations around the world.
