Unbank recently sat down with BitcoinNews to discuss our unique approach to making Bitcoin accessible to everyone, especially those without traditional banking relationships.

Our journey, which began over a decade ago with Bitcoin ATMs in Albany, NY, has grown to include operations across 45 states, supported by over 40,000 partner locations like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.

During the conversation, our Co-Founder, Emilio Pagan-Yourno, shared insights into the challenges and triumphs of running a cash-first Bitcoin service. From navigating “debanking” by major financial institutions to developing partnerships with smaller banks like Green Dot, Unbank’s mission remains clear: to provide seamless, privacy-centric access to Bitcoin.

With innovations like zero fees on the sell side and self-custody solutions, we’re proud to champion financial inclusion and help everyone—banked or unbanked—connect with the Bitcoin ecosystem.
