Powered by Modulr’s resilient and reliable payments platform, users who sign up to Mode will receive their own unique sort code and account number, adding an essential feature that users, and the growing community of people interested in holding digital assets, can use to receive their salaries or pay their mortgage or rent. To limit fraud and make online payments safer, Mode has also rolled out various Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) measures compliant with the EU Revised Directive on Payment Services (PSD2).

In the next few weeks, Mode customers will be given access to a Euro denominated account with SPayments Association access, instant and free peer-to-peer payments to other Mode users globally, the ability to receive and make third party payments, and the ability to connect all bank accounts to Mode and top up seamlessly.

Since Mode’s launch in January, the company has been operating the first and only banking app in the UK offering fully functioning Bitcoin accounts, where assets are securely stored with leading digital asset custodian BitGo, and also high-yielding and flexible interest-generating accounts for Bitcoin. Now thanks to its partnership with Modulr, Mode is able to continue to deliver banking features for its users, streamline existing services and scale more efficiently. Modulr powers the GBP payments and accounts infrastructure of neo-banking app Revolut which has helped them scale to 10 million customers worldwide.

Janis Legler, Chief Product Officer at Mode, said: “While demand for exposure to Bitcoin is at an all-time high, most crypto wallets do not meet the regulatory standards to offer the banking capabilities that users are increasingly after. Banks, on the other hand, do not want to serve their customers’ needs to provide cheap access, safe custody and other services around Bitcoin.

“We are delighted to be working with Modulr as a key part of our infrastructure to offer the best of both worlds to our users. Built for businesses that need a faster, easier and more reliable way to move money, their API-integrated core platform has helped other large challengers scale with a large number of users and volumes and will support us in our mission to become the number one truly digital banking app, the one that finally also offers products and services catering to digital-asset holders. We cannot wait to show our users what capabilities we will roll out for them in the next weeks.”

Myles Stephenson, CEO of Modulr said: “In our mission to offer Payments as a Service as the leading alternative to wholesale and commercial transaction banking, we are pleased to provide the underlying payments infrastructure to Mode Banking’s innovative offering. Modulr is proud to support Mode’s strong growth as it disrupts the digital asset market.”

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?
