Because it is an Italian company that offers cryogenic storage in full observance of the Italian law, liable to Italian taxation (VAT and IRES – company income tax) without taking refuge in tax havens that would reduce costs or government controls.
According to Italian tax law, when a company has a permanent base in Italian territory, invoices are VAT liable, regardless of the overseas state in which the company is legally registered.

Because it is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company, covering standards for all administrative, certification and commercial processes.
Because the SmartBank laboratory is HTA, GMP, ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 9001:2000 certified. It is therefore no coincidence that it is the only laboratory in England authorised to carry out both private and public cryogenic storage.
Because SmartBank certifies quality and quantity of CD34+ stem cells and total leukocytes.
Because SmartBank guarantees the right of withdrawal in the event of the insufficient collection of cells for a transplant, in light of current scientific standards.
