Achieva Credit Union in Dunedin, Florida, announced the launch of a bitcoin service on its mobile app in partnership with NYDIG on Wednesday.

The $2.6 billion-asset credit union began working with NYDIG, a bitcoin technology and financial services company, in December 2021.

“In the past year, we noted our members trading in more than $2.6 million of cryptocurrency through popular trading platforms,” Tracy Ingram, chief digital and infrastructure officer at Achieva, said in a press release. “It was clear that many members want to get involved with crypto, and we felt it was time to provide access to bitcoin from an institution they trust.”  

The bitcoin widget launched on the mobile app on Tuesday. In the widget, users can see the current value of bitcoin, view their trading history and directly buy, sell or hold bitcoin through the NYDIG platform.
