Relai is a Swiss app dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin, founded in 2020. Its approach is centred on self-custody: the bitcoins purchased are sent to a wallet whose keys the user controls, rather than held by the platform in the long term. Relai offers one-off purchases and scheduled Bitcoin savings, as well as a Business offer for companies, holding companies and professionals wishing to add BTC to their treasury.

04Security & custody

Non-custodial: Relai never holds clients' funds; users receive their Bitcoin directly on their own wallet (personal recovery phrase). No third-party custodian, since there is no custody by the platform.

05What to know before you start

Bitcoin-only, 100 % non-custodial model from the first purchase: the client receives their BTC on a wallet whose keys they control. European/EEA retail offer via RELAI EU SASU, with DCA and one-off purchases, and a Relai Business offer for companies, holding companies, treasuries and professionals wishing to buy Bitcoin on the balance sheet. No altcoins, staking, card, margin or derivatives.

Compensation transparency: affiliate partnership with Relai: À l'étude. A partnership has no influence on ranking or the default sort order (see Methodology).
