The move reflects the growing demand for secure and regulated access to digital assets in the region. Through its new app, users can trade Bitcoin and Ethereum using US or Hong Kong dollars, putting ZA Bank as a competitive player in the burgeoning digital asset market.
Calvin Ng, ZA Bank’s Chief Executive, said the institution is committed to compliance and security.
“The rise of cryptocurrency presents investors with more diverse asset allocation opportunities. As a bank, we prioritize security and compliance, which is why we’ve partnered with Hashkey, a globally leading licensed virtual asset exchange, to meet regulatory standards and deliver bank-grade security in virtual asset trading—our key competitive advantage in the Asian market,” he said.
ZA Bank plans to expand its offerings, adding two more digital assets in the future. This initiative may provide a new revenue stream while ensuring the bank stays relevant by merging traditional banking with digital innovation.
