NEW YORK, September 13, 2021 – MoneyLion Inc. (“MoneyLion” or the “Company”), an award-winning, data-driven, digital financial platform, today announced the launch of its new cryptocurrency capabilities, enabling customers to buy and sell digital currencies within the Company’s all-in-one app. Eligible MoneyLion customers will initially be able to buy and sell Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as round-up their debit card purchases in Bitcoin. In the coming months, the Company plans to add more cryptocurrencies and related features to the offering.
“At MoneyLion, we are always looking for ways to advance our mission of providing hardworking Americans with greater financial access, and we’re thrilled to now extend that access to allow our users to confidently explore the growing digital currency market,” said Dee Choubey, MoneyLion co-founder and CEO. “We have been very intentional in how we’ve integrated our crypto offering into the platform by offering our members both the ability to transact directly in digital assets along with a ‘found money’ approach that enables them to gain exposure to the asset class slowly over time by allowing them to round-up their debit card purchases in Bitcoin.”
“We view the new cryptocurrency offering as an important part of the MoneyLion platform, which includes banking, lending & investing solutions along with tools to help our customers better manage their finances, all in one app. Offering this emerging asset class is a natural addition to our existing savings and investing products, and supports our goal of providing customers with access to a variety of asset classes, along with the tools and education they are looking for to feel confident in their financial decisions.”
MoneyLion’s cryptocurrency offering is supported by robust educational content and resources to help customers understand cryptocurrencies, the risk and opportunities related to buying and selling cryptocurrencies and information on blockchain technology, available both directly in the MoneyLion app as well as at https://www.moneylion.com/cryptocurrency/
The rollout is underway and will continue over the coming weeks, with the new capabilities available to all eligible MoneyLion customers on October 5.
