What Mt Pelerin does

Mt Pelerin is a Swiss-regulated, non-custodial crypto-fiat gateway founded in 2017 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland and operating as Mt Pelerin Group SA. The company enables individuals, businesses, and partner platforms to buy, sell, swap, bridge, and cash out cryptocurrencies directly from self-custodial wallets, serving approximately 150,000 registered users with cumulative processed volume above $1 billion across 70+ countries, 500+ banks, and 18 fiat currencies. Its core products are Bridge Wallet, a non-custodial multi-chain mobile application supporting 15 blockchain networks including Bitcoin Lightning, and an embeddable On/Off-Ramp Widget offered via SDK/API (direct link, iFrame, popup, and React Native) for white-label integration into third-party wallets, DeFi apps, and fintech platforms.

Under the hood, the platform combines a self-custodial wallet architecture, where users retain control of private keys and funds are routed through Mt Pelerin without being held in custody, with a personal Crypto IBAN product that links EUR or CHF bank accounts directly to on-chain wallets. The technology stack includes Bridge Protocol, an open-source multi-chain compliance framework with a rule engine and compliance registry for tokenized asset issuance, plus native support for ZCHF (Frankencoin), a Swiss franc stablecoin, with 1:1 fee-free conversion. Mt Pelerin is regulated as a Swiss financial intermediary since 2019, affiliated with SRO SO-FIT and audited by VQF, both recognized by FINMA, and is GDPR and Swiss Data Protection Act compliant.

Mt Pelerin monetizes through transaction-based commissions (0% to 1.3% on exchange, swap, and bridge operations, with the first CHF 500 of annual volume free), card purchase fees, and OTC brokerage services for six-figure transactions. The company is bootstrapped: its 2018 community equity crowdfunding raised more than $2 million and introduced the MPS token, which carries full voting and dividend rights and offers holders up to CHF 50,000 in annual fee-free exchange plus fee discounts, aligning the user base with corporate shareholders. Distribution combines product-led growth via web and mobile apps, a 25%-50% referral program, OEM/embedded widget distribution to partners, and enterprise field sales for OTC and corporate clients.
