Who we are
The simplest bridge
between Brazil
and Switzerland.
BlueLock is a BR–Swiss fintech platform offering real CHF accounts, with a Swiss IBAN, for Brazilians who earn in hard currency or want to diversify wealth outside the real.
Founded in
2023
In Zurich, three Brazilians working in fintech noticed that no simple digital bridge existed between Brazil and Switzerland. Swiss banks refused to open accounts for Brazilian residents. Wise and Revolut offered only virtual balances, not real accounts.
Solution: a partnership with a FINMA-regulated Swiss bank, BACEN registration in Brazil, and an app that handles the hard work of KYC/AML automatically.
