Bridging the gap between traditional banking and blockchain with MyBanka

Bridging the gap between traditional banking and blockchain with MyBanka

Bridging the gap between traditional banking and blockchain with MyBanka

At the London Blockchain Conference 2023 we had the opportunity to speak to Paul De Buck (CEO and Founder of De Buck Technologies). In the interview, De Buck announced the launch of MyBanka, a cutting-edge open banking application that seamlessly integrates traditional banking with the world of blockchain.

De Buck Technologies is based in Brussels, Belgium. He has significant expertise in security, technology, and infrastructure development through consulting work with the European Commission, which is situated there.

Over the past five years, he has managed servers and infrastructure, contributing to the implementation of GDPR technically, transforming it from legislation into a practical reality. Leveraging this knowledge, he has developed a robust and secure interface with MyBanka.

The fusion of two worlds

MyBanka is a revolutionary digital wallet designed to simplify the management of financial accounts across more than 2,000 banks in the European Union and the UK, while also supporting blockchain transactions and digital assets in a secure, intuitive, and enjoyable interface.

MyBanka sets itself apart by leveraging the power of open banking to connect with a vast network of traditional banks. Simultaneously, it supports blockchain technology, creating a unique intersection between these two financial domains. This integration enables users, including entrepreneurs like De Buck, to efficiently manage private and business accounts from various banks, all within a single, user-friendly interface.

Integrating MyBanka with the BSV blockchain

One of the standout features of MyBanka is its ability to seamlessly integrate the BSV blockchain. Users can effortlessly top up their accounts, fostering accessibility to the blockchain world. This forward-thinking approach reflects De Buck Technologies’ long-term vision to educate users on the importance of having a wallet integrated into their browsing experience to access the evolving landscape of the internet, including the metanet.

MyBanka supports a wide array of digital assets, including bitcoins, ordinals, NFC, and NFTs, with plans to incorporate even more in the future. This inclusivity ensures that users can stay ahead of the evolving landscape of digital finance, without needing to switch between multiple platforms.

MyBanka’s vision for the future

MyBanka aims to become a comprehensive digital asset management platform. Beyond traditional currencies, users will soon be able to safeguard, view, and manage a variety of digital assets, including ordinals, NFT tokens, and future forms of smart contracts. The application is designed with a self-custody model, ensuring that users retain control over their information and private keys, with all transactions occurring securely on their devices.

De Buck Technologies understands that not every user is well-versed in blockchain technology. MyBanka addresses this by providing a simple, beautiful, and user-friendly interface, allowing individuals to seamlessly transition between traditional banking and blockchain transactions. The application’s design emphasises functionality over complexity, making it a go-to solution for users who prioritise ease of use.

If you can make a bank payment, you can make a Bitcoin transaction, the interface is the same, so newcomers can benefit from recognising intuitive payment patterns.

Recent updates and improvements

Lately, MyBanka has innovated by launching their “Wearable NFTs Collection”. These unique Mugs, T-shirts, hoodies and wearables come along with digital on-chain twins.

MyBanka V2.0

Team members of the MyBanka application have been working tirelessly to bring us the new version of MyBanka v2 planned for release in Q1 2024.

It will include features such as:

  • Improved security;
  • Devices wallets;
  • Very Ordinals and Bitcoin transactions;
  • Improved UI and UX;
  • Graphs and visualisation;
  • MicroPayment from referrals;
  • Further features.

Events and community in Brussels

MyBanka also leads a community called ‘Web3 & Tea’, which meets monthly to discuss and teach about blockchain technology. The community focuses on demonstrating how a world with microtransactions can empower individuals and businesses. During these gatherings, participants share ideas, and plans, and engage in collaborative building. Paul extends an invitation for others to join the upcoming Web3 & Tea event in Brussels next month.
