The story

Founded in 2010 as Cinkciarz.pl, a Polish online currency exchange platform, the company evolved into a multi-product fintech holding group under the Conotoxia brand. It expanded from retail FX into international money transfers, multi-currency cards, an in-house payment gateway (Conotoxia Pay), multi-currency lending, and CFD/investment services regulated in Cyprus. The group now operates across the European Economic Area, using both its KNF-licensed Polish payment institution and CySEC-licensed Cypriot investment firm to serve retail, business, and institutional clients.
