🇨🇦Canada's First 'Bitcoin Gateway' Launched by Bow Valley Credit Union🇨🇦
🌐According to PANews, Bow Valley Credit Union (BVCU) has made history by launching Canada's first Bitcoin Gateway, allowing Alberta residents to purchase Bitcoin directly from their bank accounts. This groundbreaking service is integrated into the official BVCU app and is powered by Balance’s digital asset custody platform and the Bull Bitcoin exchange.
🏆Through this initiative, users can now buy actual Bitcoin using Canadian dollars, giving them full ownership and control—a major shift from traditional custodial crypto services. Established in 1953, BVCU has long been known for disrupting conventional banking models, and this latest move cements its role as a pioneer in crypto banking in Canada.
⚡Currently, the Bitcoin Gateway is exclusive to Alberta residents. However, Balance CEO has confirmed that nationwide expansion is on the roadmap, aiming to bring this bank-integrated crypto buying experience to more Canadians soon.
