TBC Georgia, a leading financial services provider in the South Caucasus country and part of London-listed TBC Bank Group, announces the launch of a new cryptocurrency trading feature in its digital banking app.
The new feature allows TBC Georgia’s extensive banking customer base – one of the largest in the country – to add cryptocurrencies to their investment portfolios, and builds on the strong adoption of the bank’s existing retail investment platform, which has seen monthly active users increase 42% since the beginning of 2026.
The launch marks a significant milestone for Georgia’s financial sector, unlocking access to one of the world’s fastest-growing asset classes through a trusted, regulated provider. It also further reinforces TBC Bank’s position as the country’s leading digital banking player, alongside its continued focus on making financial services simple, accessible and secure.
Crypto trading is available directly within TBC Bank’s market-leading digital banking app and offers a streamlined one-click onboarding process, unique in the Georgian market. The service is being introduced in partnership with Bybit, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange.
George Tkhelidze, CEO of TBC Georgia, commented: “At TBC Bank, we have a long history of being the country’s first movers in digital innovation, pioneering the introduction of both online banking and mobile banking in the market. Today, we are extending our digital investment offering to cryptocurrency, as digital assets continue to become more integrated into the global financial ecosystem. This move further strengthens our retail offering as we build a best-in-class digital ecosystem, enabling customers to handle all their financial needs quickly, easily and conveniently through our mobile app”
The introduction of crypto assets reflects TBC Georgia’s strategic vision to expand its digital offering available to retail customers, providing more touchpoints within the app to drive customer engagement and loyalty, as well as its continued technological leadership in the region. In April 2026, the bank was crowned the Most Innovative Bank in Central and Eastern Europe by Global Finance.
TBC Georgia is part of London-listed TBC Bank Group, a leading provider of modern, tech-enabled financial services in the Caucasus and Central Asia. In addition to Georgia, the Group operates TBC Uzbekistan, the leading digital banking ecosystem in Central Asia.
