AIS was created to provide high-touch investment services for digital currency and digital assets. We wanted to specifically fill the value and convenience gap between our ATM network and BitQuick services for smaller amounts and existing OTC platforms requiring very high investment amounts. Unlike typical exchanges, AIS prioritizes education, ease-of-use, and safety. We want to partner with each client to make sure they understand their digital asset investment and provide them with a quick and simple way to make a trade.

AIS approved clients have access to buy and sell the following digital currencies: Bitcoin (BTC/XBT), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC). More assets might be available upon request. Just ask our traders! Please call the help desk at (312) 883-8516 if you are interested in other currencies.

There is a minimum of $10,000 per coin per transaction.

Bank wires are the only accepted payment form at this time.

Athena does not charge a commission on any transaction. Rather, you will be quoted a spread over the phone based on the relevant index that is competitive with the market. The price quoted to you is all-inclusive, and there will be no additional fees charged by AIS. As in all markets, spreads depend on liquidity and market conditions. Spreads are fully negotiated at the time of trade.

• Approved AIS account holders will be able to call us at 312-883-8516 or email us at helpdesk@athenainvestorservices.com between 9am and 5pm Central time.

• Account holders submit a Request For Quote (RFQ).

• The price will be quoted to you and you will be able to make a trade with us and lock in your rate by phone only. An email confirmation of the trade is sent with the amount of digital currency you purchased and what rate you paid.

• Once you send us the payment in either USD or digital currency, we will begin the delivery process so that you receive your digital currency or US dollars. You will be emailed a confirmation and a receipt for your completed trade for your own accounting and tax purposes.

Once the wire funds are received by AIS, the delivery process begins…

-If a customer is selling their digital currency to AIS, then AIS will transfer cash into the customers account

-If the customer is purchasing digital currency, then the client will be sent a small test transaction. AIS will select the amount and the customer will not know the amount of the test transaction. The customer will confirm the amount over a phone call with an AIS representative.

• Once the test transaction is received and confirmed, the digital currency balance will be sent to the customer.
• Customers will receive a receipt of their digital currency purchase or sale for their own accounting and tax reporting purposes
