Freedom money.
Internet money for everyone — starting with Bitcoin & Lightning.
Self-custodial Bitcoin, digital dollars and euros, and local currencies in one simple wallet.
Like cash, but digital: direct ownership, person to person, one passkey.
Cash is yours.
Digital cash should be too.
Physical cash does not need an account provider to exist.
When money sits in a bank, exchange or custodial app, you hold a claim on that institution — an IOU in plain language.
With self-custody, you hold the digital asset itself and can send it directly to another person.
That is the idea behind Nuri: the freedom of cash, made digital and global.
Bitcoin first.
Then everything else.
1 · Bitcoin & Lightning
Peer-to-peer electronic cash.
Native internet money you can own yourself, send globally and use without a bank holding it for you.
2 · Digital dollars & euros
Stablecoins when stability is useful.
For online payments, pricing and moving stable value across the internet.
3 · Local currencies
Cash in and cash out when you need the local world.
EUR · SEPA USD · ACH GBP · Faster Payments TZS · Mobile Money / SWIFT
Pay. Get paid.
Person to person.
Pay in
Bitcoin & Lightning, stablecoins and supported crypto assets.
Move
Send, receive, request, swap and convert.
Pay out

Recovery without Nuri✓
If we disappear,
your money doesn’t.
The wallet is designed to remain yours even if Nuri or a financial-service partner stops operating.
Wallet first. Services second.
Legal by design.
Regulated where required.
No regulatory theatre.
The wallet is self-custodial software. Card, banking and e-money services come from regulated providers under their own licences and terms.

Berlin roots.
A new Nuri.
2014–15Bitwala grows out of Berlin’s early Bitcoin scene.
2021Bitwala becomes Nuri.
2022The original Nuri shuts down.
2025The Nuri brand moves to new ownership and operates independently.
NowA new Nuri is built around a simple goal: Bitcoin-first self-custody for everyone, stable internet money when useful, and local payment rails when needed.
The patient pioneers.
We grew up building internet money.
From Berlin’s early Bitcoin scene through Lightning and Ethereum, the people behind Nuri have spent more than a decade working on mining, exchanges, wallets, DAOs, smart contracts, protocols and payment infrastructure.
Cim Topal, Emil Wagner and Lennard Evertz are part of that long story. For now, the public founder profile starts with Emin.
Emin Mahrt
Founder · Product
Berlin. Bitcoin since the early 2010s. Wallets, protocols and payments. Former product leadership at Börse Stuttgart Digital Exchange.
An AI reviewing the team’s history once called us “the patient pioneers.” The name stuck.
The destination after all those years: secure self-custody for everyone — people and AI — with a wallet focused on global internet payments and local peer-to-peer cash.
Real support.
When money matters.
Private support with real people.

Company, support & legal.
