12 Years of Crypto Made Clear: $5.5B Volume, 6.9M Users

Twelve years ago, converting your money into crypto meant navigating a maze of confusing interfaces, hidden fees, and platforms that felt like they weren't built for you. Most people gave up before they even got started.

That's exactly why Paybis exists!

Since April 1, 2014, we have been working to make crypto access feel less like a technical challenge and more like a normal financial decision. We built it to be the kind of platform you didn't need a manual for. Turns out, that's what people actually wanted.

Twelve years and 6.9 million customers later, we are still at it. And today, we want to say thank you. 
 

By the Numbers: How Far We've Come

Our 12-year story is shaped by our customers. As we approach our 7 millionth customer, here is a look at the data driving Paybis today:

• 6.9 Million Customers served to date and counting.
• $5.5 Billion in lifetime transaction volume processed.
• 180+ Countries reached across our global user base.
• 76% of trades now come from returning users.
• 624 Businesses powered, with $4.13 billion in B2B transactions to date.
