That is correct. Interacting with traditional finance rails in Europe is a regulated activity. We need to abide by these rules in order to be able to give you:
- a fully working VISA debit card
- a personal vIBAN in your own name
However, we design our products to work with your self-custody so that you retain the control of your BTC, and do not have to deal with capital being frozen for whatever reason.
