Trezor forms unique partnership with crypto broker BTC Direct

SatoshiLabs, the company behind popular hardware wallet Trezor, has announced a collaboration with Dutch cryptocurrency broker BTC Direct.

The partnership will allow European Trezor users to purchase cryptocurrency from BTC Direct straight from their their wallets.

Marek Palatinus, CEO of SatoshiLabs, said: “BTC Direct is the only large European broker Trezor works with. ‘We believe that finding partners like BTC Direct is the step in the right direction. Thanks to BTC Direct, we are able to bring even lower fees to the native Trezor Wallet, and benefit our users while providing the safest environment for their transactions”

The integration of BTC Direct’s service into the Trezor wallet means that users can purchase Bitcoin and a selection of altcoins using a range of local payment methods.

These include SEPA bank transfer and credit card payments, while local services like SOFORT, iDeal, EPS and Bancontant will also be made available.

BTC Direct CEO Davy Stevens explained how simple the integration process will be for customers, stating that: “Users only need to link their Trezor to BTC Direct once. The next step is similar to a plug and play experience in order to keep bitcoins safe in your Trezor”.
