Moneybrain’s mission statement

Moneybrain’s mission statement is simple – to create a fairer financial world using digital money.

In practice, this means making it as easy as possible for investors to access this segment, and empowering regular people to understand the benefits and risks of crypto investing.

For too long, non-traditional investments have been beyond the reach of the average investor. High manager fees, bold-typed risk warnings and a lack of investor education have combined to keep innovative investment classes such as crypto trading behind closed doors for most people. But Moneybrain is determined to make crypto investments accessible for all.

“We are the trusted exchange,” says Lee Birkett, chief executive of Moneybrain.

“We act as an intermediary to support investors who wish to buy and sell crypto from their smartphones, tablets or laptops.

“We have invested a lot of money and expertise into ensuring that the platform is easy to use, and we are constantly monitoring our technology and implementing updates where needed.”

Moneybrain was established by Birkett in 2000. Initially, the firm intended to disrupt the fintech world, and this philosophy soon led to the creation of Birkett’s peer-to-peer lending platform JustUs. Birkett saw the immense opportunities in crypto trading and made it his mission to create a user-friendly crypto exchange using peer-to-peer technology.

Moneybrain went on to become one of the first crypto firms to be registered to trade under the Financial Conduct Authority’s Temporary Registrations Regime (TRR) before establishing the Moneybrain HQ in Jersey British Isles

Today, Moneybrain operates as a crypto exchange as well as a cryptocurrency custodian. The crypto exchange operates with native asset referenced BiPS which can be purchased, exchanged and sent anywhere around the world for as little as 1p, with transactions taking place in a matter of seconds. Users can manage both personal and business accounts, and can use the Moneybrain platform to trade in a number of different crypto coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Ripple.

“We aim to bring trust to the crypto world by creating an underlying value in the BiPS token,” says Birkett.

“When the token is used as a payment or exchange, not only will the trade be on the public blockchain ledger, but the network has a fully measurable underlying value as well as any speculative value of an emergent digital currency.

“This is held in a foundation which is unable to ever dispose of this value and with any surplus is able to provide education about digital currencies and invest in infrastructure to increase speed and reduce costs to token holders.”

This innovative business model has won a host of fans, who are attracted to the ease of use, transparency and affordability of Moneybrain’s crypto offerings.

For Birkett, this is all part of his aim to make investing fairer and more accessible to all.

“I started Moneybrain to create a fairer financial experience for UK investors,” he says.

“25 years later I am proud to say that we are still innovating, still growing, and still helping our users to access the fascinating world of crypto trading.”
