Nuri empowers people to manage and grow their wealth through innovative technologies.
Our Story.
2013
Humble beginnings
Ben, Joerg and Jan, the three founders of Bitwala thought that Bitcoin had the potential to change the world. In 2013 they started a “crypto consultancy”, trying to get banks and large companies to see the benefits. They were laughed out of multiple offices and decided to take it upon themselves to make the change themselves.
2018
Bitwala was born
In 2015, Bitwala first launched, allowing people to make bitcoin-powered bank transfers to 22 countries and a prepaid debit card. In 2018, Bitwala reimagined itself to become the world’s first crypto bank account. People had an easy and safe way to get started with cryptocurrency directly from their German bank account.
2021
We become Nuri - the bank account to grow your money
Bitwala, just like cryptocurrencies, has changed a lot in the last 8 years and it was time for a fresh new look. Meet Nuri. Nuri believes that everyone is empowered to build their financial future and we are building the bank account to grow your money.
