Coinbase Harnesses Trustly for Canadian Expansion

Trustly has partnered with Coinbase to be an essential part of its expansion to the Canadian market, providing secure account-to-account (A2A) payments utilizing our Open Banking Payments services. Coinbase users in Canada can now deposit and withdraw funds directly from their bank account to/from their crypto account using EFT or Interac payment rails. 

The Ontario Securities Commission reports that over 30% of Canadians plan to buy crypto assets within the next year. Canada’s demand for cryptocurrency continues to rise, and combined with its strong regulatory framework, Canada is a prime fit for alternative payment methods. 

Trustly is excited to work with Coinbase to support its expansion into Canada with our Open Banking platform. We look forward to continue strengthening our offerings by enabling direct bank transfers over EFT later this year which will enable seamless transactions and high-value deposit limits.
