Raiffeisen to offer crypto trading across 11 European markets via Bitpanda

Summary

Raiffeisen Bank International is expanding its crypto offerings through a group-wide partnership with Bitpanda. Bitpanda Enterprise will supply the digital asset infrastructure that RBI’s network banks can use to launch crypto services, potentially reaching about 18 million customers. Each bank will decide which products to offer and when to roll them out based on local regulation and market demand. RBI says customer demand for crypto is rising across its markets, and the move is meant to meet that demand. The rollout is still early and will happen gradually. The partnership builds on a crypto integration already launched in 2024 with Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien. Bitpanda is MiCA-authorized and continues to discuss crypto brokerage services with other banks and financial institutions.
