Saffery Champness Suisse, a provider of fiduciary services, has partnered with Coinify, a global virtual currency platform.  

Saffery Champness Suisse has signed up to Coinify to provide clients with the option of completing fee payments using cryptocurrency.

The Coinify platform will enable Saffery Champness clients to make payments for services using over 25 of the most popular cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, Ethereum, and bitcoin cash, the firm said in a statement yesterday.

The adoption of the Coinify platform forms part of the firm’s wider commitment to client service, ensuring that the business evolves to meet the changing needs and expectations of their clients, including those with significant holdings and income from digital assets for whom frictionless interaction between the digital and "fiat" worlds is vital, the firm added.

Coinify’s focus on instant delivery and regulatory compliance will make the payment process efficient for those clients who choose to pay using cryptocurrency, as well as giving clients peace of mind through dealing with a properly regulated entity, the firm said. 

Welcoming the move, Siobhan Moret, marketing director at Saffery Champness Suisse, said: “Our crypto-native client base is growing and establishing robust digital infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of these clients is a key priority for us.”

“The use of Coinify will streamline the payment process for those clients who wish to transact with us using cryptocurrency, through a transparent and regulatory-compliant platform,” she added.

“Establishing partnerships with reputable legal and financial crypto-focused service providers like Coinify forms part of our broader strategy of offering fiduciary services to crypto-native entrepreneurs, and high net worth individuals and families,” she said.

Based in Geneva, Saffery Champness is a provider of fiduciary services – including estate planning, wealth protection, investment structuring and corporate services – to clients all over the world, and it has been developing new fiduciary structures for digital asset investors.
