Weaknesses

  • Crypto merchant not ancora attivo; recensioni ancora limited.

Verdict

B D ★ 3.7/5 ★ 1.7/5

Bank of Lithuania supervision and concrete features like SEPA Instant, 12 currencies and business cards with 2FA and biometrics give Genome a reliable EU base. The rating stays mid-tier because crypto merchant services aren't live yet and the available reviews are too few to confirm service quality over time.

On this lens Genome offers little that's distinctive: full KYC, a custodial account and average privacy, with crypto-merchant services not yet operational. It's an efficient Lithuanian EMI for SEPA payments, not a tool geared toward privacy or direct control of funds.
