Bottlepay

Bottlepay was a fintech company specializing in cryptocurrency transactions, primarily dealing with Bitcoin. The company was well-funded and operated as part of a wider group, holding a reputable registration with the UK Financial Conduct Authority, demonstrating high standards in money laundering and transfer of funds regulations. Bottlepay's main service was to offer consumers a safe and efficient platform for acquiring Bitcoin and utilizing it for payments, providing a unique and innovative financial solution in the burgeoning crypto market.

The company's operations were hallmarked by robust financial safety measures. Bottlepay was committed to customer security, partnering with Modulr FS Limited in the UK and Modulr Finance B.V. in Europe to safeguard user funds. This ensured that balances were held in segregated accounts and protected in line with the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 and the Financial Supervision Act, respectively. Moreover, the company had put emphasis on customer transparency and support; displayed by their service to provide users with transaction statements upon request and dedicated customer service for any queries related to Fiat balances.

However, Bottlepay made the decision to cease operations of their consumer app on 24th July 2023, as per notified on 22nd May 2023. The company was transparent about the closure and conversion process for their customers’ Bitcoin. Despite closing its doors, Bottlepay leaves behind a legacy of pushing the boundaries in a dynamic crypto marketplace. Their dedication towards offering safe, efficient ways to use Bitcoin for payments bore testament to their innovative spirit and customer-centric approach. Notably, even in closure, their commitment to consumer wellbeing remained firm, expressing regret for any inconvenience caused and advising users to do diligent research when finding a new custodial wallet. The Bottlepay story reinforces the ever-evolving nature of the fintech landscape and the importance of continual adaptability.
