Trustee

What Trustee does

Trustee Global (operating as Trustee Plus and Trustee Wallet) is a private cryptocurrency financial services platform founded in 2016 by Vadym Hrusha. The company provides a multi-currency crypto wallet supporting 30+ digital assets across TRC20, ERC20, SOL, NEAR, BEP20, and Polygon networks, bundled with a payment card (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, MasterCard), a personal European IBAN for SEPA transfers, 24/7 peer-to-peer trading, an in-app exchange with 100+ cross-pairs, staking, and ancillary services including Trustee Travel (hotel booking with crypto), Trustee Academy, Trustee Shop, and a Desktop app. The platform is positioned as MiCA-compliant for European users and serves customers across 35+ countries spanning Europe (Austria, Germany, France, UK, Netherlands) and Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India).

The company generates revenue primarily through transaction-based streams: spreads on crypto exchange/swap, conversion and processing fees on crypto card transactions (with daily limits up to EUR 5,000), P2P trading commissions, and markups on bank-card crypto purchases facilitated via MoonPay and Binance Pay integrations. Pricing is freemium — wallet registration is free with pay-as-you-go fees on transactions and card issuance — and a zero-fee stablecoin deposit tier is offered for freelancers. Go-to-market is product-led via a self-serve mobile app (iOS, Android, APK, desktop) augmented by a referral program, content marketing through Academy and Wiki, broad social media presence, and industry event participation such as Web Summit 2022 in Lisbon. Target segments include European crypto users seeking regulatory-compliant wallets, freelancers and self-employed professionals using crypto for cross-border payments, crypto enthusiasts wanting a multi-feature wallet, and beginners onboarding through simplified mobile UX.

Trustee operates with 11-50 employees and is bootstrapped, with only a $25,000 Ukrainian Startup Fund grant disclosed as external capital. Notable recognitions include Payspace Magazine Awards 2024 (Best Crypto Project), NCRYPTO Awards 2024 (Best Crypto Startup), IT Association of Ukraine Digital Tiger recognition, and a BBN Times Top-5 European Crypto Wallet ranking under MiCA in 2026. The company maintains integrations with Binance, MoonPay, Kraken, WhiteBIT, Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and SEPA, alongside compliance partners Kycaid, Crystal Intelligence, Global Ledger, and AMLBot, and legal advisors including MK Legal, Manimama, and Juscutum. A professional security audit was completed by Hacken in February 2025 for both iOS and Android applications.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bybit: Major crypto exchange offering its own card, wallet, and P2P services. Competes with Trustee for European users seeking an integrated crypto platform; broader product portfolio and larger user base.
• Binance: World's largest crypto exchange, which both partners with Trustee (Binance Pay) and competes via Trust Wallet and Binance Card. Comparable on crypto purchase, exchange, and card layers; vastly larger in scale and regulatory footprint.
• Revolut: European neobank offering crypto buy/sell, IBAN, and card services within a broader banking app. Competes with Trustee Plus for European users wanting a single app for crypto + fiat + card, though Revolut's crypto features are more limited than a dedicated crypto wallet.
• Crypto.com: Established crypto super-app offering wallet, Visa debit card, exchange, staking, and IBAN-style fiat accounts. Operates a much broader portfolio than Trustee but directly competes for the same European MiCA-era user seeking an integrated crypto + card product.

Direct peers

• Atomic Wallet: Non-custodial multi-currency crypto wallet with built-in exchange and staking. Overlaps with Trustee Wallet on asset breadth, exchange, and staking features; lacks Trustee's card and IBAN offering.
• Wirex: Wirex is a crypto payments platform offering a multi-currency wallet, crypto debit card, and IBAN-like account — almost identical product stack to Trustee Plus. Both target European users with bank-card-funded crypto purchases and Apple Pay/Google Pay card support.
• Guarda Wallet: Multi-platform non-custodial crypto wallet supporting 50+ blockchains and 400K+ tokens. Comparable on multi-chain breadth and retail crypto-holder target user; less overlap on Trustee's card/IBAN/fintech layer.
• Exodus: Multi-currency crypto wallet supporting 50+ assets across desktop and mobile with built-in exchange. Comparable to Trustee Wallet on multi-asset breadth and target retail user; Exodus is non-custodial and does not offer Trustee's card or IBAN layer.
• Trust Wallet: Binance-owned multi-chain self-custody wallet supporting 30+ coins and 100+ blockchains. Comparable to Trustee Wallet in asset breadth and target user (crypto holders who want mobile multi-chain access), with the key difference that Trust Wallet is non-custodial and lacks Trustee's card/IBAN layer.

Others

• MoonPay: Fiat-to-crypto on-ramp provider that powers Trustee's bank-card purchase flow. Listed as a partner (Core tier) but also a potential competitor should MoonPay extend into wallet or card products.
