Summary

Prashanth Chandrashekar, who runs Bringin's consumer app and its new business accounts, argues that much of Europe's debanking comes down to how banks score transfers. Money arriving from a crypto exchange's account counts as a higher-risk third-party payment, while a transfer between two accounts in your own name passes with fewer flags. Bringin's response is a named virtual IBAN for each customer, which he says lowers the risk of being debanked rather than removing it. He distinguishes named IBANs from the deposit IBANs exchanges hand out. On MiCA, he says the licensing reset left only about 30% of earlier firms licensed, but survivors can passport across the EU. He also discusses accounts closed without explanation under tipping-off rules. The consumer wallet is built on Spark. He says operators are mostly centralized and can see payments, though they cannot move funds alone. Bringin for Business pilot users include mining-rig sellers paying suppliers abroad. The business custody model puts keys in a hosted Turnkey enclave with spending policies, Bringin holds an extra key in multi-director setups, and seed export is discouraged. Third-party euro payments were promised within days of recording, and corporate cards are not yet available. Disclosure: Stephan is a small investor in and advisor to Bringin.
