To attract users, the service offers 0% commission for the first three months with a minimum investment of USD 70 or HKD 600.<\/p>\n<p>The service is integrated into ZA Bank\u2019s app, making it easy for users to trade crypto alongside their regular banking activities. A survey by the Hong Kong Association of Banks revealed that 70% of respondents prefer using banking apps for crypto trading.<\/p>\n<p>ZA Bank\u2019s alternative CEO, Calvin Ng, highlighted the bank\u2019s focus on security and compliance, noting that its partnership with HashKey Exchange ensures bank-grade security for crypto transactions. The bank has 800,000 users and is owned by ZA Global, an affiliate of Zhong An, a major Chinese insurance company.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/nexo-unveils-game-changing-personal-usd-accounts-for-global-crypto-users\/\" title=\"Nexo Unveils Game-Changing Personal USD Accounts for Global Crypto Users\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/visual-nexo-desktop-buy-row-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Nexo Unveils Game-Changing Personal USD Accounts for Global Crypto Users<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>While ZA Bank leads in Asia, Singapore\u2019s DBS Bank was the first to offer retail crypto trading in the region, although it focuses on institutional investors.
