<div>'''Bitcoin-Central.net''' is a [[currency exchange]] based in France and operated by [[Paymium]], that allows trading between bitcoins (BTC) and Eur. <br />

<br />
* User funds would be held at Aqoba's partner financial institution under the user's name, separately from [[Paymium]]'s funds<br />
* User accounts will be individually protected up to 100,000 EUR by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposit_insurance#By_EU_country Garantie des dépôts], the French equivalent of the American [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Deposit_Insurance_Corporation FDIC]<br />
* Each account would in a few months after launch get its very own IBAN number, enabling its use as any other bank account, e.g. for salary deposits with optional automatic conversion to Bitcoin<br />
* Each user would soon be able to order their own debit card, accessing their EUR and BTC balance<br />
* All incoming and outgoing transfers would be 100% automated via direct access to the banking networks<br />
* Corporations would have access to an actual financial institution if they wish to start accepting Bitcoin and be safe from a regulatory point of view<br />
