Also part of the SatoshiLabs Group, Invity is a cryptocurrency exchange platform  that provides competitive pricing for digital asset purchases and exchanges. Its services are also fully integrated into the new Trezor Suite wallet ecosystem.

The final integrations of Banxa's API into both SatoshiLabs products are currently live, allowing both exchange platform customers and hardware wallet users to purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies directly through their wallet interface or via their exchange account.
