CEO of Bitcoin Suisse AG Niklas Nikolajsen said, "Bitcoin Suisse is proud to continue to support Falcon Private Banks product offering in the field of crypto-assets. Falcon Private Bank was the first bank to offer Bitcoin directly to its clients, and thus created history. Their decision to follow up by adding Ether as well as other crypto-assets has made them the go-to private bank for crypto-asset holders and investors."
