nsave SA (www.nsave.com) is a Swiss FinTech dedicated to offering safe and secure accounts and payment services for individuals in distressed economies. By providing safe accounts in Switzerland denominated in stable currencies like CHF and USD, nsave seeks to democratise access to trusted and safe financial services making them accessible to all, without discrimination.

Hi, we are nsave! Let us introduce ourselves...

Have you ever wondered whether you could access your money which you have in your checking or savings bank account? Or whether that money will lose 90% of its value within a single year? This is the reality people in Lebanon, Egypt, Argentina, and Turkey have faced in the past few years (and some continue to face). If only they had easy access to banking products located in safer economies where they can hold USD/CHF, millions would avoid these losses.

That's what nsave is doing. We help people from such places save USD/EUR/GBP in Switzerland without requiring them to deposit millions or physically be present in Switzerland. Users can open a nsave account with a smartphone and a passport and start using it to keep their savings. We are building a product that well balances delightful user experience, compliance with regulations, and reliable engineering infrastructure.

We are backed by prominent global and Swiss investors, including Sequoia Capital (lead), Y Combinator, Fondation Genevoise pour l'Innovation Technologique (FONGIT), and ACE & Company to name a few. These investors have previously backed industry giants like Facebook, Google, Airbnb, and Stripe and Swiss success stories such as Proton.
