Bear markets reward discipline more than prediction. Practical responses include limiting capital at risk, dollar-cost averaging, researching undervalued assets, diversifying and considering defensive holdings while avoiding emotional trades.

An IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a standardized format identifying bank accounts for cross-border payments, used in 89 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. IBANs contain up to 34 alphanumeric characters including country code, check digits, bank code, and account number. US banks don't use IBANs—they use routing numbers and SWIFT codes instead. Find your IBAN through online banking, mobile apps, or bank statements. SWIFT codes identify banks; IBANs identify specific accounts. Tap's business accounts automatically provide IBANs for international payment reception.

One app. Your crypto, your card, your money — all working together. No complexity, no compromise, just a smarter way to manage what you've got.
