Bow Valley Credit Union Enables Direct Bitcoin Purchases With Bull Bitcoin
Bow Valley Credit Union (BVCU), in partnership with Bull Bitcoin, has become the first financial institution in Canada to allow its members to buy real Bitcoin directly from their bank account.
Buy Real Bitcoin directly from your bank
BVCU members can now buy actual Bitcoin — not ETFs, not derivatives, not stocks — with just a few clicks, directly from their banking app, with no extra identification.
The backend integration with the Bull Bitcoin API ensures real-time, competitive pricing and fast execution, without the need to interact with complex trading platforms or crypto exchanges.
Custody is handled by Balance, Canada’s oldest Bitcoin custodian, operating since 2017. Bull Bitcoin provides Bitcoin liquidity — but never holds user funds.
Two Custody Options Available
Clients can either choose to keep their Bitcoin in custody with Balance, where they are assigned a dedicated wallet with their name and can view the exact coins allocated to them, or take full self-custody by withdrawing the Bitcoin directly to their personal wallet at any time.
Real Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
Unlike competitors who prioritize marketing and rapid market share growth to impress investors, Francis Pouliot’s vision for Bull Bitcoin emphasizes a principled, long-term approach rooted in Bitcoin’s core ethos: The Hard Path
By focusing on self-financed development, robust infrastructure, and unwavering commitment to Bitcoin’s principles, Bull Bitcoin has spent years building proprietary software. This dedication positions it as one of the few exchanges worldwide capable of enabling banks and financial institutions to seamlessly offer their customers direct access to physical Bitcoin.
This partnership showcases Bull Bitcoin’s disciplined, low-time-preference strategy, prioritizing sustainable growth, innovation, and capital formation over short-term gains.
A Model for the Rest of the world?
Today, the service is available exclusively to Alberta residents who bank with BVCU. They can already sign up through their online banking portal for early access.
This launch marks the beginning of a broader vision: enabling banks and financial institutions across the world to offer their clients a simple, turnkey solution for true monetary sovereignty through direct Bitcoin ownership.
Institutions ready to take the leap can contact Bull Bitcoin to integrate our API and provide self-custodial Bitcoin access to their customers.
