The story

Electrocoin was founded in 2014 in Zagreb as Croatia's first cryptocurrency exchange. The company expanded into merchant acceptance with PayCek, allowing businesses to accept crypto payments, and offers invoice payment in crypto settled to bank IBANs. In 2026 it became a MiCA-licensed CASP, positioning it to operate across the EU under the new harmonized regime.
