HISTORY
Blockchain technologies and digital currencies are emerging since the late 2000’s. After a couple of years of development, an increasing amount of companies and governmental institutions acknowledge the potential gain and fundamental aspects of blockchain technology. Anycoin Direct was founded by three young men with different backgrounds but a shared passion for this new technology. Back in April 2013, Anycoin Direct was a bitcoin-only cryptocurrency exchange service with the focus on being the first company with seven days a week live support. Anycoin Direct now distinguish herself from other market players by offering a wide variety of cryptocurrencies and reliable and instant payment methods. Anycoin Direct’s unique selling points still remain ease of use, customer-focus and trustworthy live-support.
In 2014, Anycoin Direct had an important role in establishing the Dutch Association of Bitcoin Companies (VBNL) with the aim of preventing digital currency-related fraud through the systems of affiliated companies. At that time, rules of conduct were already drawn up that are in line with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act and the decision was made not to accept cash. Over the years, internal systems and responsible departments have been set up and improved step by step with the aim of minimizing fraud on the Anycoin Direct platform. For example, there has been a pro-active cooperation with supervisory authorities and related entities for many years without a clear legislative framework already being set by the government.
CURRENT STRATEGY
Through the years of experience, Anycoin Direct built an entrusted brand within the European cryptocurrency brokerage market and educates its employees in terms of Blockchain functionality. Cryptocurrencies are still new to most of the world and sometimes difficult to understand. Therefore, sharing information concerning the risks and educating customers in terms of safe cryptocurrency storage is one of Anycoin Directs’ priorities. Anycoin Direct believes it is in the best interest of both the customer and the company to assist her customers in the process of either buying or selling cryptocurrency. Anycoin Direct aims to achieve this service level through innovation, process optimization, in-house development and employee training. The service level incorporates convenience, reliability and safety, for each transaction. The aim is to offer European consumers a high-quality and reliable platform that is committed to making the digital currency market trustful and easily accessible.
