TL;DR
Switzerland, July 2022: FinchTrade is proud to announce their partnership with BCB Group to provide instant cross-border transfers and multiple settlement options for both crypto and fiat. Seamless post-trade settlement is crucial in the OTC market as trading is usually performed on credit lines. Thus timely delivery of assets has a great impact on both treasury and risk management. That is why it is essential for liquidity providers to have a prominent and reliable banking partner.
FinchTrade has therefore turned to BCB Group to integrate their BCB Liquidity Interchange Network Consortium (BLINC); a global payments network that allows members to pay each other instantly 24/7/365 across multiple currencies. The BLINC network aims to transform traditional payments infrastructure by providing clients a unified architecture capable of handling instant fiat transactions, all provided fee-free within the network.
FinchTrade AG is an institutional-grade digital asset liquidity provider. Regulated and based in Switzerland, it offers OTC spot liquidity with 30+ crypto coins, automated post-trade settlement and streamlined onboarding. FinchTrade is focused on tighter spreads, bespoke liquidity solutions, seamless API integration and providing deep liquidity of top assets with a variety of settlement options.
BCB Group was created by established thought leaders in finance, regulation and technology and is the leading provider of business accounts and trading services for the digital asset economy. Corporate and institutional demand for essential infrastructure in digital asset markets is growing, with BCB Group well positioned as one of the first multi-jurisdictional regulated digital asset financial services groups, serving many of the industry’s largest clients.
“We are really pleased to add Finchtrade to the BCB network. Finchtrade joins many of the key industry players within the digital asset trading space, who are helping to mature the asset class at a global scale. At BCB Group, we are continuously deepening the value-add for our BLINC network and adding Finchtrade’s platform certainly delivers on this, providing better liquidity, reducing risk and providing real-time settlements powered by BCB Group.”
Greg Gardner, Head of Banking Sales.
“In the current crypto market, a client values not only the good prices and deep liquidity but also the flexibility and timeliness of the post-trade settlement. We serve clients around the world and work hard on expanding the number of settlement options to satisfy their demands. The product of BCB Group definitely meets our high standards.”
Lesya Margris, COO.

The partnership integrates BCB Group’s BLINC payments network into FinchTrade’s post-trade processes, enabling instant cross-border transfers and multiple settlement options for both crypto and fiat. This aims to accelerate delivery of assets, improve treasury and risk management, and provide real-time settlements within the BLINC network.
BLINC is a global payments network that allows its members to pay each other instantly 24/7/365 across multiple currencies. FinchTrade’s integration with BLINC automates post-trade settlement so qualifying transfers can be completed in real time using the unified architecture BLINC provides for instant fiat transactions.
FinchTrade’s BLINC integration emphasizes instant, intra-network settlement and multiple settlement options for crypto and fiat, alongside automated post-trade workflows and API-driven processes. Compared with traditional credit-line settlements, this setup seeks to reduce settlement delays and operational friction by using an instant payments network among BLINC members.
The BLINC capability applies to payments between members of the BLINC network, so instant, fee-free intra-network settlement depends on both counterparties being on the network. The announcement highlights the network’s multi-currency, instant architecture but implies the benefit is tied to network participation and member coverage.
Institutional clients can access FinchTrade’s settlement options through FinchTrade’s onboarding and API-driven services. FinchTrade offers streamlined onboarding, automated or flexible post-trade settlement and API integration, enabling institutions to route eligible trades into BLINC-supported instant, multi-currency settlements as part of their post-trade workflow.
