Our Mission

To provide simple and secure access to crypto-assets, enabling everyone to exercise their financial sovereignty with confidence.

Our values

Sovereignty

The only French marketplace still in operation. By investing with Paymium, you support the independence of the French and European market from foreign exchange platforms.

Security

A pioneer from the very beginning and compliant with the strictest regulations, Paymium offers you a secure framework to invest with peace of mind over the long term.

Responsibility

A simple interface and a carefully curated selection of assets, for a sober but effective approach that has lasted for 15 years.

Pleasant interface. Wide selection. Easy to use. On top of that, processing times — both for deposits and withdrawals — are very good. I highly recommend it!

David BERCOT

Trusted platform I’ve been a customer for a long time and have never been disappointed :) However, the mobile app could be improved, as well as the identity verification process using the smartphone camera.

Emilien Massa

Good experience, even though the compliance side can be a bit cumbersome at times. It has improved a lot compared with a few years ago.

Mathieu Tresseras

I’m discovering your platform, and it’s easy to use and understand. Communication is simple and responsive, and the security seems highly advanced. I’m very happy with my choice. Thank you.

ANDRE

Easy-to-use crypto platform, with a reassuring level of security thanks to the fact that it is a French company. I particularly appreciate the option to set up automatic recurring purchases.

Bruno BB

Quick response, which is great. If you explain the situation clearly, they respond quickly and help you resolve it with very clear guidance.

Corine A.

I had a bit of difficulty at first. I had to contact your support team several times, but the replies came quickly by email, which made it much easier to get familiar with the platform.

DURAND Jean-Pierre

The quality of the onboarding process reflects how serious and professional the platform is. I’m now going to test the features, which look very interesting: Expert Mode, DCA and the wallet.

Eric Mourgues

Paymium is a serious platform with a proven organisation and track record. Beyond its simple, easy-to-use interface, the support team is driven by available experts who listen carefully and are particularly good at explaining things. What more could you ask for?

Eric de LAMBERT

Fast execution My deposit had been sitting there for quite some time. I was able to make a withdrawal and bank transfer almost instantly. I was pleasantly surprised.

François-Xavier

Easy to use, with a pleasant interface.

JEAN PHILIPPE

Mr Leblanc listened carefully and was very understanding. I was experiencing a few difficulties, and he was very accommodating.

MADAME corine jean

Even for complete beginners! I would never have thought that a platform like Paymium, which must mainly be aimed at experienced users, could be so attentive to people like me who know nothing about it! Every one of my questions received a clear and detailed answer.

Maurice Brunet

Easy to contact technical support Personally, I think the ease of contacting support — and especially the speed of their response to my request — is a major asset. That’s why I’m giving 5 stars. Thank you very much, Paymium.

Med Taher Zali

Thank you to Paymium for its quick and detailed responses, and for how easy the website is to use. I would like to have access to many more products.

Mme Martine Desse

A perfect app for people who want to invest without overcomplicating things no endless options or questionable products while still offering flexibility and a minimum level of trading services.

Nicolas Devarenne

French Tech ambassadors First of all, it’s a French company, which greatly simplifies the process with your bank. The service is professional and high-quality.

Olivier

Very good first steps. Easy to use, with a very smooth onboarding experience for getting started. Well designed for beginners.

Patrice GIRRES

I had forgotten that I had an account with you. I was surprised by how quickly you responded.

edmee busseret

A French cryptocurrency platform that is easy to use. Mainly focused on Bitcoin. An IBAN makes fiat bank transfers possible. Very satisfied so far. My only regret is that there is no linked payment card.

fred cc

Great platform, intuitive interface, ultra-competitive fees, fast and efficient customer service — and above all, in French 😊

frederic haehnel

Just the essentials, with the credibility of having been the first on the market. Access to EURCV is also highly appreciated from a sovereignty perspective.

gerald roupillon

As a complete beginner, I had a lot of difficulty getting transactions through and understanding how everything worked. I invested money from our savings, and I was afraid of seeing it disappear.

jules bonnaffoux

Historic platform Simple and efficient platform, but it’s a real shame that it doesn’t offer “dynamic” DCA based on a 60-day or 200-day moving average, or another indicator, with different profiles such as cautious, moderate or dynamic — like one of its competitors does. That said, I’m staying with Paymium, but I’m going to test the “smart” Bitcoin DCA offered by the competition. Otherwise, I’d gladly give 5 stars: customer service is very responsive… and… Pierre Noizat is a legend 👍
