Conio, according to Bitcoin Magazine, was founded in San Francisco by two Italians and has received investment from Banca Generali<\/p>\n<p>Banca Generali and Conio reportedly first partnered in December 2020 and are now set to launch the new functionality. We Wealth reports that once it\u2019s out, Banca Generali\u2019s customers will be able to buy, sell, and hold BTC directly on their mobile banking applications. The move will offer them the advantage of the wallet being linked to their bank accounts, allowing them to gain exposure to BTC \u201cwithout having to rely on payment cards or having to transmit data to third parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cryptocurrency wallet is set to leverage a 2-of-3 multi-signature arrangement for added security. Riccardo Renna, COO and head of innovation at Banca Generali, was quoted saying:<\/p>\n<p>We worked with Conio for an innovative custody solution based on a multi-signature system that ensures the custody of Bitcoins and the possibility of recovering the wallet in certain cases, such as that of a succession.<\/p>\n<p>Renna added that the recovery is made possible because \u201cBanca Generali keeps the third security key on behalf of the customer, allowing him to retrieve it in case of need.\u201d The report notably did not clarify whether customers would be able to transfer the BTC out of Banca Generali\u2019s wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Similar services have been launched by multiple fintech firms over the last few years, one of the most notable ones being PayPal. As reported, in October 2020 it started letting its users buy, sell, and hold crypto on its platform.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DISCLAIMER<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>The views and opinions expressed by the author, or any people mentioned in this article, are for informational purposes only, and they do not constitute financial, investment, or other advice.
