The New Visa Debit Card for Crypto Enthusiasts

Exciting News! We are introducing our new virtual Visa Debit Card for direct spending of Bitcoin, Ether, and Euro funds on online purchases.

Get your crypto-powered Visa Debit Card today and start shopping with the currency of tomorrow!

Yes, you are right. Our former banking partner Solaris is obliged to provide access to the funds in the bank account for at least three years. However, users have to actively request there funds back, in case they have forgotten to withdraw their funds before the announced closure.

The funds can be requested back by getting in touch with their customer support: https://www.solarisgroup.com/en/support/nuri/transfer/

Yes, it is a continuation; however, it's a new entity led by the former co-founder and head of trading, together with a team of former engineers.

Yes, this is correct. This is a new company. With a former investor, we took over the intellectual property, including the app, the technology behind the self-custodial wallets, and the brand, including the trademark and name.

After filing for insolvency, we didn’t find an acquirer, so ultimately the company had to be liquidated. The liquidation proceedings are still managed by the insolvency administrator.

The assets in the bank account, as well as in the custodial wallet, can be requested back from Solarisbank until today. The assets in the self-custodial wallet (Vaults) can be restored externally by means of the seeds or transferred into the new Bitwala app. All services were discontinued on the 19th of December 2022.

Unlike other crypto neobanks, we have not speculated with customer funds, and with the exception of our tragic partnership with Celsius, all funds can be restored or requested back from Solarisbank.
