The Paxos Advantage

Easy to integrate APIs

Our APIs are turnkey – with just a few integrations, you can offer your users crypto buying, selling, holding, transferring and more. Our enterprise-grade crypto services maintain an industry-leading uptime of 99.9%+.

Enterprise grade

We deliver institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure built to serve enterprise customers. We do not compete with you for retail end users. Our partnership includes robust customer success and go-to-market support teams so your crypto launch is as successful as ever.

Highest regulatory standards

Paxos is a qualified custodian and certified Trust Company regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Our trust certification covers both our digital asset custody and our exchange – making us the safest, lowest-risk option available.

Experience at scale

Paxos was the first regulated Trust Company to offer cryptocurrency services, earning our trust charter from the NYDFS in 2015. Our approach has always been to work with – not against – established financial services regulations. Our clients range from PayPal and Revolut to Credit Suisse and Societe Generale.

The Power of Crypto

More and more financial institutions and technology companies are prioritizing crypto as a strategic business opportunity. Here’s what a crypto offering can do for you.

Build additional revenue streams

Adding crypto to your platform can provide a significant, low-cost, and consistent revenue stream, especially as crypto adoption continues to rise. Companies earn as much as 2.5% of every trade through spreads and commission.

Drive customer acquisition

Adding crypto attracts new customers, allowing you to expand top-of-funnel market reach beyond your existing customer base. A crypto offering can drive new app sign-ups and boost brand perception as an innovator.

Increase customer engagement

Offering crypto can increase your share-of-wallet and embed you more deeply in your customers’ financial life. PayPal reports that customers who purchased cryptocurrency log in at a rate 2x their frequency prior to purchasing.

The shift to digital forms of currencies is inevitable, bringing with it clear advantages in terms of financial inclusion and access; efficiency, speed and resilience of the payments system.
