Founded in 2013, Luno is a global cryptocurrency exchange and wallet provider headquartered in London, with regional hubs in Singapore and Cape Town. To date, Luno has processed more than USD$14 billion in transactions and has over 5 million customers spanning 40+ countries. Luno is an independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group.

Luno’s vision is to ‘upgrade the world to a better financial system’. Through Luno’s instant buy/sell feature, customers are able to purchase crypto with their local currency, or trade across 25 crypto to fiat pairs on the Luno Exchange (also available through the Luno API).

Luno’s BTC Savings wallet allows customers to earn interest on their Bitcoin holdings by saving it in a separate wallet.

All features are available on Luno’s mobile app for iOS and Android, and on desktop.

Luno ensures that 95% of its crypto is stored in “deep freeze” multisignature wallets protected by various encryption layers. Luno works with regulators in the markets in which it operates (Malaysian operations are regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia) and supports progressive regulation of the cryptocurrency industry. Luno has implemented robust AML/CFT measures, which include a mandatory, tiered approach to KYC, registration with local financial intelligence authorities, and the reporting of suspicious activity and transactions.
