What BCP Technologies does

BCP Technologies Limited is a UK-based, FCA-registered crypto asset firm operating BCP Markets, a mobile-first cryptocurrency exchange platform launched from London in 2017. The company serves primarily UK retail crypto investors and, to a lesser extent, UK corporate customers, offering iOS and Android apps that enable users to buy, sell, swap, receive, hold, and earn on 29+ cryptocurrencies. Its core technology stack includes a proprietary in-app wallet backed by segregated cold-storage custody, Open Banking connectivity for instant GBP bank transfers, Bitcoin Lightning Network support, and a proprietary exchange-rate index calculated as a weighted average of rates from CoinMarketCap, Google, and CryptoCompare. Free peer-to-peer transfers between BCP Markets users and recurring purchase automation are differentiated engagement features.

Revenue is generated primarily through spreads on crypto-to-fiat conversions (the gap between the proprietary index and the rate users receive), capped withdrawal/deposit fees (e.g., 1.99% or £1.95 on bank withdrawals, 0.4% or £1 on in-app transfers), and treasury lending via the Earn Interest program on BTC and ETH holdings. In April 2026, BCP issued tGBP, a fiat-backed pound-sterling stablecoin listed on Coinbase, ranking among the top 10 non-USD stablecoins globally with $11M+ market capitalization. Operations expanded from UK-only to 27+ EEA countries plus Switzerland and British Crown Dependencies in July 2023 under FCA approval. The company is privately held with 1–10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no M&A activity recorded in available sources.

3. Deposit Fees: In-App Transfer fees up to 0.4% or £1, and Bank Transfer fees up to 1% or £1
4. Crypto Lending Interest: Weekly interest generated on BTC and ETH held in user wallets. Interest is generated by lending the surplus of BCP's treasury. APR rates mentioned (e.g., 0.1%, 5%)
