About
Relai Overview
Relai is a Swiss-based Bitcoin investment app designed for maximum simplicity and financial sovereignty. Founded in 2020 in Zurich, Relai has quickly become one of Europe's favorite platforms for Bitcoiners who value the principle of 'not your keys, not your coins.' Unlike centralized exchanges, Relai is non-custodial, meaning Bitcoin is sent directly to a wallet where only the user holds the private keys.
Effortless Investing
The platform's primary goal is to make Bitcoin accessible. Users can start investing in minutes without the need for initial KYC (Know Your Customer) verification for volumes up to 100 EUR/CHF per month. This low-friction onboarding, combined with the ability to set up automated recurring buys, makes it an ideal tool for long-term Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategies. Payments are seamlessly handled via bank transfer, credit card, or mobile payment solutions like Apple Pay.
Swiss Quality and Security
As a regulated financial intermediary in Switzerland, Relai adheres to strict Swiss standards of security and privacy. For larger investors, 'Relai Private' offers a high-touch service for transactions exceeding 100,000 EUR/CHF, providing lower fees and expert guidance. By focusing exclusively on Bitcoin, Relai avoids the complexities and risks associated with altcoins, offering a streamlined experience for those who view Bitcoin as the ultimate digital reserve asset.
