Netagio the UK-based digital currency broker today celebrated its first anniversary of trading. Since launch, it has built an early reputation and ever-growing client base of retail customers and institutional investors buying and selling one of the oldest commodities – gold, the newest form of currency - Bitcoin in exchange for the major currencies, GBP, EUR and USD.
Underpinning its brokerage services, Netagio has invested heavily in providing resilient and secure storage. In December 2013 Netagio launched the first free European digital storage vault and all its gold bars are stored in a maximum-security vault in one of the world's most secure storage facilities in Switzerland.
The Netagio founders and management team are led by Geoff Turk, Chairman of the board and also CEO of GoldMoney, Simon Hamblin, CEO and Business Analyst Maike Ahlstrom, combining years of experience and deep understanding of technology, online security, finance and precious metals sectors.
Commenting on the landmark, Simon Hamblin, CEO of Netagio, said: “From day one, our goal has been to offer customers an easy and secure means to buy and sell Bitcoins and gold in exchange for the most traditional currencies. We have been encouraged not only by the uptake by customers and their appetite to explore and offset traditional assets for new currencies, but also the additional benefits of being able to make and receive Bitcoin payments using their Netagio accounts.”
