The Challenge: Creating An Optimized Pay-in & Payout Experience for a Growing User Base

“We focus on providing an exceptional experience for users when it comes to buying, selling, and using crypto. And we wanted to partner with an Open banking provider with deep knowledge of the crypto landscape to offer a smooth and convenient way for customers to make deposits and withdrawals,” Petr explains. 

“Our primary aim was to find a partner with a deep understanding of the crypto industry that offers the best conversion rates to support the growth of our business.”

The Solution: Ivy Instant Bank Payments & Payouts

Guardarian’s decision to partner with Ivy came down to three core strengths: 

Best-in-Class Conversion Rates

Guardarian sought a partner with best-in-class conversion rates for its fiat-to-crypto transactions, and Ivy’s Smart Routing Engine delivers precisely that. By optimizing payment flows in real time, Ivy intelligently selects the highest-converting provider from its extensive network of connectivity providers for each transaction. This routing mechanism minimizes payment failures and ensures smooth, uninterrupted payment experiences for Guardarian’s users, leading to higher transaction success rates and improved customer satisfaction.

Fast, Secure, and Convenient Deposits and Payouts

Guardarian aimed to provide its users with an efficient and secure solution for deposits and payouts. With Ivy’s advanced Open Banking product, customers can now complete bank transfers without manual data entry, reducing friction at checkout and enhancing the customer experience — particularly for returning users. This solution meets the high expectations of crypto users who prioritize speed and security in their financial transactions, ensuring that Guardarian stays competitive in the fast-evolving crypto space.

Expertise in the Crypto Segment

Ivy’s deep knowledge of the crypto industry, combined with its collaboration with leading onramps, positions this partnership as a strategic milestone for Guardarian. Leveraging Ivy’s expertise, Guardarian can deliver a more integrated, secure, and flexible payment solution tailored to the unique needs of the crypto community.
