Nordark alternative for crypto firms outside Europe
Nordark opens accounts for crypto businesses registered in Europe. Unigox, a Nordark alternative, has no such condition: EUR, GBP and USD accounts, with EUR or GBP swaps to stablecoins. Stay with Nordark for other coins, crypto-backed loans or ARKIN payments.
When to stay with Nordark
You trade coins beyond USDT and USDC
Nordark routes orders from your account across ten or more connected exchanges, lists 100 or more cryptocurrencies, and its OTC desk handles large trades in Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. A Unigox company account converts only between EUR or GBP and stablecoins.
You borrow against Bitcoin or Ether
Nordark lends against Bitcoin, Ethereum and other major coins, typically up to 80% loan-to-value, with stablecoin loans you spend from your Nordark account. Unigox offers no crypto-backed loans.
You pay other Nordark users
ARK Instant (ARKIN) moves fiat between Nordark users and outside ARKIN participants in seconds, around the clock, with no fee. A Unigox company account pays out in euros by SEPA and in pounds to UK account numbers, with no network of its own between Unigox customers.
Nordark vs Unigox for crypto company accounts and swaps
| Topic | Nordark | Unigox |
|---|---|---|
| Who can open | Businesses registered in Europe, from startups and funds to exchanges, brokers and market makers. | Companies that pass KYB, wherever they are registered, except countries the Terms of Service exclude or that are under sanctions. |
| Accounts and rails | A dedicated IBAN in the company's name. EUR by SEPA and SEPA Instant (up to €100,000 per instant payment); GBP by Faster Payments (up to £1,000,000) and CHAPS; USD by SWIFT. | An EUR IBAN for SEPA issued in the Netherlands or Malta, a UK sort code and account number for GBP, and USD accounts with details confirmed at setup. |
| Converting to crypto | Conversion between EUR, GBP or USD and most major cryptocurrencies inside the account; for a coin not listed there, Nordark says its OTC desk might help. | Swaps between EUR or GBP and stablecoins in the Business Portal, and OTC deals carried out by the Unigox team at a fee agreed before the first one. |
| Pricing | Not published; fees are set per client. The terms allow a fixed monthly management fee, where the fee schedule sets one, from the day the account opens. One month's fee stays on balance, closing costs one month's fee, and fees can change on 30 days' notice. | No public price list either. Your company's plan sets the fees for account services, transfers and swaps, and Unigox confirms it before you commit. |
| Regulation | Nordark says it is not a bank; an authorised e-money institution named in a separate agreement provides payment and e-money services. ARK Poland, in its site footer, is registered in Poland as a virtual currency wallet and exchange operator. Owned by Hilbert Group. | Unigox works through two companies: UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Canada handles the local-money side and is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business and with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider; UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Panama handles the crypto side, including wallets and escrow. |
UnigoxOpen Unigox accounts beside Nordark in three steps
Send the company file
Apply on the Unigox business accounts page with registration documents, ownership, source of funds and intended use. Add your crypto licence or registration, or a legal note on why none is needed. A company outside Europe applies the same way.
Agree the accounts and fee plan
Once KYB is approved, Unigox opens the EUR, GBP or USD accounts you agreed and sets a plan for account services, transfers and swaps, which you confirm before committing.
Swap stablecoins at Unigox
Point the stablecoins you convert at Nordark to your company's Unigox Wallet, move them into the account and swap to EUR or GBP there. Coin trading and any Nordark loan can stay where they are.
Questions about Nordark alternatives
What is Nordark, and which crypto companies does Unigox suit?
Nordark gives Europe-registered crypto businesses EUR, GBP and USD accounts, crypto trading, an OTC desk and crypto-backed loans. Hilbert Group now owns it. Unigox fits a crypto company, in Europe or elsewhere, that needs those three currencies and converts only stablecoins.
See business accountsCan a crypto company outside Europe open a Nordark account?
Nordark's FAQ says it supports businesses registered in Europe. Unigox company accounts do not require European registration; the company passes KYB, and countries excluded by the Terms of Service or under sanctions cannot apply.
Can we keep Nordark loans and swap stablecoins at Unigox?
Yes. A loan or coin trading at Nordark does not stop you converting between EUR or GBP and stablecoins through Unigox. You can swap in the account or agree OTC deals at a fee set before the first deal.
