In any market it’s common to see a small difference between the price at which you buy and sell, often called the “bid-ask spread”. Unlike an exchange, we buy from and sell to our users directly, allowing us to capture this price difference.
We support iOS, Android, and web!
We currently offer Interac e-Transfers, wire transfers, pre-authorized bank transfers (requires Plaid), and transfers from external wallets.
We support major banks and credit unions through Plaid.
We currently support Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Monero, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, Stellar Lumens, USD Coin, and QCAD. We focus on high-quality projects with a strong technical roadmap and engaged community.
Yes. You'll be able to deposit crypto into your Newton wallet and trade it as normal. To convert to CAD you'll just need to link to a bank account and go through our automated ID verification process.
Newton was started by a team of experienced Canadian entrepreneurs and has strong financial backing. Our goal is to set a strong example for good corporate citizenship in the cryptocurrency space. And if you still don't trust us, we've made it really easy to withdraw crypto into your own wallet for safekeeping.
We don't hide behind a veil of anonymity - our CEO's name is Dustin Walper, and rumour has it he does birthday parties for Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible, so it's critical to have strong security protocols in place. Once you lose cryptocurrency it's gone for good.
A huge part of our strategy is surprisingly non-technical: we store the vast majority of our crypto in secure locations with no access to the internet. We also back up our keys in a distributed manner, meaning there are multiple redundancies in place to prevent accidental loss.
We don't store any crypto at our office whatsoever, and only a small amount of it ever touches our servers to facilitate withdrawals. So even if an intruder did manage to get access to our hot wallet, they would find such a small amount of crypto there as to make it not worth the effort.
There are no costs associated with withdrawing cryptocurrency since we have zero network fees.
