Switzerland’s Fourth-Largest Bank ZKB Now Offers Retail Customers Bitcoin, Ether

瑞士第四大銀行 ZKB 現在向零售客戶提供比特幣、以太幣

The fourth-largest bank in Switzerland, Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB), has now begun offering retail customers the ability to buy, sell and hold the two most popular cryptocurrencies – bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

瑞士第四大銀行蘇黎世州銀行（ZKB）現已開始為零售客戶提供購買、出售和持有兩種最受歡迎的加密貨幣——比特幣（BTC）和以太幣（ETH）的能力。

Thanks to a collaboration with Deutsche Börse-owned digital assets broker Crypto Finance, customers of the cantonal bank will have access to BTC and ETH through ZKB’s existing Mobile App, eBanking, and other established channels, the companies announced in a press release on Wednesday.

兩家公司在周三的新聞稿中宣布，由於與德意志交易所旗下的數位資產經紀商Crypto Finance 合作，州銀行的客戶將可以透過ZKB 現有的行動應用程式、電子銀行和其他既定管道存取BTC 和ETH。

Switzerland is ahead of the curve when it comes to digital assets, with many financial institutes offering customers the ability to trade crypto in the country. ZKB is also no stranger to crypto innovation, as the bank was involved in the issuance of the world's first digital bond on Switzerland's SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) last year.

瑞士在數位資產方面處於領先地位，許多金融機構為客戶提供在該國交易加密貨幣的能力。 ZKB 對加密貨幣創新也不陌生，該銀行去年參與了在瑞士第六數位交易所（SDX）發行的全球首支數位債券。

“When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Zürcher Kantonalbank takes on the critical function of securely storing the private keys,” said Alexandra Scriba, head of institutional clients and Multinationals at Zürcher Kantonalbank, in a statement. “Customers and third-party banks therefore do not need their own wallet and hence do not have to worry about保管自己的私钥。苏黎世州立银行负责这两项工作。”
