National Digital Trust Company (In Organization) has received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to open as a federally chartered trust bank to provide a broad range of digital asset services.

Our Principles
Greatness is a mindset, not an accomplishment. Mediocrity is unacceptable. Excellence is contagious. We hire people because we believe in their greatness. Now is the time to prove us right.
Responsibility comes with the territory. Everyone is an owner, which means we share a common vision and mutual accountability. We act in line with our strategic objectives and the trust our customers place in us. We believe there is no such thing as "not my problem." Taking this level of ownership not only drives our collective success but also offers the potential for significant reward.
Innovation and adaptation are in our DNA. We are in a period of the most dramatic and rapid period of technological change in the history of humankind. Those that stay ahead will thrive, those that don't, won't. We innovate intelligently and thrive on overcoming challenges, to get (at least) a little better every day and ensure our continued growth and success.
Team first. We are reliable teammates working together toward extraordinary success through honesty and accountability. We believe collaboration knows no hierarchy, and we focus on what matters. We work toward consensus, but when necessary, we disagree and commit. We know that winners win.
