As part of our ongoing commitment to working on new feature upgrades to provide our investors with a better user experience, we recently redesigned the BF Funds Section with improved user experience and added many new features like automated deposits and withdrawals (you can learn more about it here).
As BnkToTheFuture is a Securities Business rather than a ‘Cryptocurrency exchange’, we are required to adhere to a higher standard of regulatory compliance. In order to automate the process of deposits and withdrawals we had to find new banking partners, new Crypto payment processing partners and then integrate these systems whilst adhering to Securities laws, KYC and AML requirements (KYC on the go, transaction monitoring, etc). The regulations also require us to go through a third party escrow service when accepting deposits.
Integrating our new automated payment system has increased our service costs significantly as we have to utilise third-party solutions to remain compliant and process requests at the speed our investors would like.
Our integration with a Crypto payments processor – Coinpayments, costs us 1% on every ERC20 token deposit (more details on the fee structure can be seen here). As per our company terms and conditions, we pass on third-party payment processor fees to investors and this means we were set to introduce a withdrawal fee on cryptocurrency withdrawals. Our terms and conditions already state that we pass on all third-party transaction fees to our investor members and disclose them at point of withdrawal/investment (therefore not required to provide any particular notice for such a fee), however, we still planned to provide our members with a reasonable notice for the new withdrawal fee. Upon completion of the automated deposit integration (weeks ahead of the planned completion date), there was a communication breakdown when our technical team activated our new automated deposit feature and we released the new withdrawal fee before we had the chance to notify our investors about the 1% cryptocurrency withdrawal fee. It was not our intention to introduce this fee without prior notice.
We take the feedback from our investors seriously and realised the communication regarding the cryptocurrency withdrawal fee could have been managed more effectively. We believe our investors deserve a sufficient notice period before introducing such fees. For this reason, we would like to rectify the situation by implementing the following:
For now, we will waive the 1% cryptocurrency withdrawal fee for our investors;
We will endeavour to negotiate with Coinpayments for possible solutions to make this fee as low as possible for our investors, however, we are unable to make any promises regarding lower fees as the final decision is with Coinpayments;
Once an agreement is reached between BF and Coinpayments, we will provide sufficient notice to our investors should any fees be applied;
Due to the glitch that caused the withdrawal fees to go live prematurely, any investor who has been charged with the new 1% cryptocurrency withdrawal fee since the introduction of the new fee (and until a new notice is given), will be issued a refund for the 1% withdrawal fee. The refund of the new 1% crypto withdrawal fee will be credited to their respective charged accounts;
Until sufficient notice is provided for new cryptocurrency withdrawal fees, for now, withdrawals will remain free until further notice is given (with the exception of the usual Blockchain tx fee).
USDT deposits to your BF account should be used for the purpose of investing ONLY through the BF platform. If you do not intend to use the deposited funds for investing, they will be subject to a 0.5% withdrawal fee. There are no withdrawal fees applied on crypto funds received as a result of making investments other than any Blockchain network fees. Fiat withdrawals are subject to a 1% withdrawal fee with a minimum fee of US$35. For full details see ourfees page here.
We hope we have been able to address your concerns. We always strive to offer the best service and to meet the needs of our investors. Please share your feedback and ask any questions by reaching out to us on[email protected] or use the comments section below.
We would like to thank you for your patience and for choosing BnkToTheFuture to build your portfolio in the equity of FinTech and Crypto companies.

BnkToTheFuture Makes Strategic Investment In BMI Capital, a US SEC Registered Broker Dealer
BnkToTheFuture and Coinstreet Partners Make Strategic Investment In BMI Capital, a US SEC Registered Broker Dealer, To Bring Security Tokens To Institutional Investors In The US And Asia.
We are excited to announce a strategic investment in US Broker Dealer BMI Capital International LLC (“BMI Capital”). Through this investment, we aim to reach a wider pool of investors and launch new US compliant Security Token Offerings.
BnkToTheFuture has made three strategic investments / acquisitions in 2019 after selling its stake in Keystone Capital Corporation to Coinbase last year including the UK FCA Appointed Representative Diacle, the self-custodial security token exchange Altcoin.io and now the holding company of BMI Capital. BnkToTheFuture also brought in Coinstreet Partners who specialises in arranging institutional investor roadshows across Asia.
BnkToTheFuture was the very first securities business in the crypto markets launching shortly after Bitcoin in 2010 and now has a community of 85,000+ Professional Qualified Investors from all over the world who have invested almost $800m in funding rounds listed on its Online Investment Platform and holds equity in Coinbase, Circle, Blockchain.com, Kraken, BitStamp, BitFinex, ShapeShift, BitPay, Ripple Labs and over 100 others.
“In 2010 we started our mission to allow investors to buy equity in companies building the future of finance. We provided an opportunity for our community to invest online in a handful of unicorns and cryptocurrency exchanges. We see a similar trend with security tokens and together with BMI Capital we have built the infrastructure to allow for compliant security token offerings with a range of new products we will be launching in 2020. Our investment in the holding company of BMI Capital was designed to align our interests so we can drive the sector forward faster with products that make global securities law compliance easier to comply with.” – Simon Dixon (CEO & Co-Founder of BnkToTheFuture).
“While the market is at its early stage, STO will be a cost effective and efficient way for solid corporations for seeking growth funding, and for established institutions to bring additional liquidity to their asset portfolio through tokenizing process. Further to our strong foundation in Asia, we are very excited to expand our business to US market through collaboration with BMI Capital and BnkToTheFuture”, said Samson (SAM) Lee, Founder & CEO of Coinstreet Partners.
“We are really excited to work with BnkToTheFuture and Coinstreet Partners as a strategic investor to build the next wave of disruption coming to capital markets. BMI Capital has strong traditional investment banking experience and a vast institutional investor network in both the US and Asia regions. We look forward to working with BnkToTheFuture and Coinstreet Partners much more closely to bring token-based corporate finance to a much deeper pool of institutional investors in the US and Asia as the industry grows.” – Robert Trapp, CEO of BMI Capital.
BnkToTheFuture, Coinstreet Partners and BMI Capital will now work together more closely for on-boarding US and Asian institutional investors that wish to invest in the equity and securities tokens of crypto and FinTech companies, as well as provide corporate finance advisory services for security token offerings (STO) to a deeper pool of qualifying investors.
