SafePal, a crypto wallet provider, has introduced a new Mini Wallet App on Telegram. The new application will allow Telegram’s 950 million users to set up personalized and compliant crypto accounts with Swiss banks, allowing seamless crypto transactions.
The mini wallet app will also support Visa cards, even as the company plans to launch a digital Mastercard card in Q4 2024.
SafePal’s mini wallet accounts will be under the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority
On November 2, SafePal launched a Swiss bank-supported crypto mini wallet on Telegram, designed to enable crypto transactions directly within the messenger app.
According to SafePal, users will have personalized and fully compliant bank accounts licensed by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The wallet will also offer Visa card support. Once users complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and onboarding process, they can seamlessly access their bank accounts and connect them to their digital Visa cards.
Additionally, Fiat24 will handle all registration processes, data collection, and account management independently, upholding the decentralization and privacy of the SafePal non-custodial wallet suite.
The company has even introduced a hardware wallet to ensure the network’s and Telegram’s security.
SafePal co-founder and CEO Veronica Wong commented:
While those apps provide entertainment and rewards for users, we also want to leverage the social platform to solve critical issues like accessibility to crypto-friendly and compliant banking for over 950 million Telegram users.
