While Zigla has been under the headship of CEO Hipperson since September 2018, the company recently applied to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the issuance of digital money. At the moment, the platform is pre-launching applications for UK residents. However, it has plans to expand its services in the future. Notably:
“While we intend to expand our offerings to other countries in due course, currently only UK-residents who are at least 18 years of age may use our services and are eligible to apply for a Ziglu account.”
Nonetheless, Ziglu isn't the first financial firm to blend fiat and crypto accounts. For instance Bitwala launched a similar Bitcoin wallet; on top of which they added Ethereum functionality.
