Who’s recognised us

Your Bitcoin, your way

Low friction

Bamboo requires a minimum purchase of $50, pricing it out of range for casual purchases. Amber makes the entry point to purchasing accessible, starting from as low as $20 so you don’t have to break the bank.

Investment focussed

Bamboo gives users the ability to invest in cryptocurrency and gold. Amber’s focus is investing in Bitcoin only - providing you with the easiest way to access the best performing investment of the decade.

Take control of your assets

Amber gives you the ability to withdraw your Bitcoin and take possession of it. Bamboo does not let you take possession of your Bitcoin, only sell it.

Powerful dollar cost averaging

Amber gives you more control to set your granularity with Dollar Cost Averaging, down to even daily recurring purchases.

Security and privacy

Bamboo requires users logging in to their bank account through the app, exposing you to poor security and privacy practices.

One free Bitcoin transfer per week

Amber won't charge if you transfer Bitcoin from Amber to an external wallet.

Amber is not an exchange where "Not your keys, not your fees." exists.

“Amber is the easiest way to start or continue along your Bitcoin-saving journey. A focused Bitcoin-only product with no distractions, competitive rates and unique functionality - sure to impress both novices and veterans alike”

Hass McCookCivil Engineer, Speaker, early Bitcoin adopter
