Alea provides secure infrastructure and compliance-focused digital services to business and individual clients, including:

- Payment processing services for merchants, including settlement through regulated partners
- Exchange services: fiat-to-crypto purchases for individual retail clients, delivered directly to the client’s own external wallet on a non-custodial basis

Alea does not accept deposits or maintain stored client balances. Funds handled in connection with payment transactions are processed solely for the execution and settlement of the relevant transaction.

Exchange Services
Alea’s Exchange service allows eligible individual clients to purchase digital assets using Swiss francs.

Digital asset transactions are irreversible; Alea cannot recall, cancel, or reverse a transfer sent to an incorrect address.
Exchange services are available exclusively to individual clients acting in a personal capacity, and are not available to legal entities. Orders are subject to identity verification and may be declined, delayed, or cancelled prior to execution for compliance, technical, or risk-related reasons.
