The Zug based FinTech company WB21 offers an online, real time account opening platform for private and business clients. The smartphone and web based system offers global cross border payments and account opening in 18 currencies with instant fund crediting to bank accounts worldwide. Senders pay ten times less than traditional banking fees. The account is set up in less than five minutes, with a 24/7 real time verification and activation system.

"It has always been our vision to create a digital platform that redefines the standards of cross border banking on a global scale. The current solutions at traditional banks makes it very difficult and expensive for international clients to open accounts and send payments cross border. We have spent the last twelve months to build a unique, unparalleled solution to solve that problem! WB21 is the first global platform that solves the issues for private and business clients from 180 countries. From the 1st day it has been our policy to accept clients from all 180 countries. Our services will be available first in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Greek; targeting the markets that have the highest level of bad user experiences and overpriced retail banking in the EU. Our timing couldn‘t be better to offer a digital solution addressing this problem.“
WB21 has started to change the way how the world conducts banking in the 21st century. The solution WB21 provides will simplify everyone’s financial life.
