At ADVICIFAS, every decision we make is centred around protecting our clients — their privacy, security, and right to reclaim financial independence without fear or interference.

That’s why we’ve made the bold but necessary decision to move our entire payment infrastructure to cryptocurrency only.

This article explains exactly what cryptocurrency is, why this shift was essential, and how it protects you and your finances.

What Is Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a decentralised  digital currency that allows people to send and receive money securely, without needing a traditional bank.

The most commonly used type for services like ours is USDT (ERC20) — a stablecoin that’s pegged to the US dollar, meaning its value doesn’t fluctuate like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Instead of going through a bank or payment provider, crypto transfers occur directly from one person to another using blockchain technology.

Transactions are recorded transparently on a secure public ledger — but without revealing your personal details.

In short, cryptocurrency enables secure, borderless, and private payments — and it’s growing rapidly across the world.

Why We've Moved Away from Traditional Payments

Until recently, we accepted traditional payment methods such as debit cards and bank transfers.

But over time, it became clear that these systems are not safe for clients in vulnerable financial situations — especially those already harmed by banks, lenders, or fraud marker misuse.

Here’s why we’ve moved exclusively to cryptocurrency:

1. Protecting Your Privacy

When you use a debit card or bank transfer to pay us, your bank sees exactly who you’re paying and what for.

In many cases, that payment can be automatically flagged — especially if the receiving business is considered “high-risk” simply because it challenges the financial system.

One simple example:

If you pay ADVICIFAS using your debit card, the institution you bank with will know you’re paying a company that helps remove fraud markers or challenge banks. That alone can result in them knowing you have a fraud marker, therefore resulting in account closure.

Cryptocurrency eliminates the risk. With Crypto, you control what information is shared, and no bank is involved in your transaction start to finish.

2. Preventing Further Repercussions

We’ve seen it happen time and time again: a client reaches out for help, pays us through a regulated method, and then suffers problems with their bank — including frozen accounts, interrogation-like questions over the phone, and even account closures.

These institutions often retaliate when they realise someone is challenging their decisions. By removing their visibility entirely, we protect you from these consequences.

3. Freedom From Corrupt Regulation

Traditional payment systems are governed by financial institutions — the same ones that often cause harm through unjust CIFAS markers, account closures, and unexplained financial blacklisting.

By offering crypto only, we maintain independence from these systems. That means:

  • They can’t block your payment.
  • They can’t trace your financial activity.
  • They can’t interfere with your ability to get help.

4. Enabling Risk-Free Refunds and Guarantees

Our Money-Back Guarantee remains unchanged — but like our payments, any refunds will now be issued via crypto only.

This keeps all transactions secure, private, and out of reach from the financial system’s interference.

But Isn't Crypto Unsafe?

You’ve probably heard the myths:

  • “Anyone asking for crypto is a scam”
  • “You can’t get your money back if you’re scammed”
  • “Crypto is unregulated, so it’s dangerous”

Let’s dismantle these one by one:

Myth: Crypto = Scam

This myth is pushed by the same institutions that label any business they can’t control as “high-risk”.

In truth, many businesses move to crypto not because they’re shady — but because they’ve been shut out of traditional systems for challenging the financial status quo, or if they’re too risky (not profitable) to the institution.

ADVICIFAS is one of them. We’re not hiding from regulation — we’re protecting our clients from institutions who abuse it.

Myth: You can't get your money back

Wrong. Just like with a bank transfer, there are legal routes to recovering crypto if you’ve been scammed.

In fact, firms like CEL Solicitors specialise in reclaiming scammed crypto. There are records of every transaction on the blockchain — unlike with some shady banking activity.

Myth: Crypto is unregulated = unsafe

Regulation does not equal safety.

UK banks are regulated, yet they routinely cause damage with no accountability.

They record unjust CIFAS markers, close accounts without explanation, and deny appeals based on opaque “internal criteria” or Terms and Conditions.

Crypto is simply outside of that system. That doesn’t make it dangerous — it makes it independent. 

What This Means for You

When you onboard a service with ADVICIFAS, you’ll pay using USDT (ERC20) or another approved cryptocurrency.

We’ve created a clear, simple guide to help you set up a wallet, buy crypto, and send your payment.

Our team is on hand 24/7 if you need help — including evenings and weekends.

If you’re new to crypto, we’ll walk you through it.

Why They Say Crypto Is "Bad" — The Real Reason

Cryptocurrency is often called “dangerous” or “used by scammers”, especially in the UK. But let’s be honest — that narrative isn’t about safety. It’s about control.

Banks like Lloyds Bank, Santander, and NatWest have spent years shaping public opinion through fear and misinformation.

They push the idea that crypto should be avoided, not because it’s unsafe — but because they can’t control it. When your money is held in a crypto wallet, it’s no longer feeding their profit model of fees, surveillance, and restrictions.

We’ve seen clients have payments blocked, accounts frozen, even their livelihoods threatened, not for doing anything wrong, but simply for stepping outside the system.

Crypto is more transparent, more secure, and gives you full ownership of your money. That’s why we use it. Not to hide — but because we believe you should never be punished for trying to protect or help yourself.

If You Can't or Don't Want to Use Crypto

We understand that this may be unfamiliar territory. We’re here to help you understand the process, and we’ve made it as easy as possible.

However, if you refuse to use cryptocurrency as a matter of principle or preference, we will respectfully decline to offer you a service.

This policy is firm — not to exclude you, but to protect all our clients and keep our operations fully independent.

Final Thoughts

Our move to crypto isn’t about trend-following. It’s about self-preservation, client protection, and cutting ties with corrupt financial networks that have repeatedly failed those we support.

We’re proud to stand apart from the system that ruined lives — and proud to give you a private, secure, and interference-free way to get the help you need.

If you’re ready to move forward and claim back your financial freedom, we’re ready to help — in a way that keeps you safe.
