Achieva Credit Union in Dunedin, Fla., has begun offering a bitcoin service on its mobile app.
The $2.6 billion-asset credit union said in a press release that it began working with NYDIG, a bitcoin technology company, in December. Achieva said it had noticed in the past year that its members had been trading in more than $2.6 million of cryptocurrency.
Achieva’s bitcoin widget lets users buy, sell or hold bitcoin; see the current value of their holdings; and view their trading history.
The move comes at a time when bitcoin prices have been sharply falling.
Achieva also offers crypto education services to its members. The credit union’s members were part of a three-week pilot for the new widget.
