Bunq, Europe’s second-largest neobank, has officially stepped into the world of cryptocurrency. On April 29, the Amsterdam-based fintech launched Bunq Crypto, allowing users to buy and invest in over 300 digital assets — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana — directly through its app. The service is now live in the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and Belgium, with broader expansion plans underway.

CEO Ali Niknam said the crypto feature was driven by soaring user demand and growing confidence in the evolving regulatory environment. The offering is powered by Kraken, one of the world’s leading centralized crypto exchanges.

This marks the beginning of Bunq’s long-term vision to become an all-in-one financial platform, where users can manage traditional banking, savings, and now cryptocurrency, all in one place. The company aims to roll out the crypto service across the entire European Economic Area, as well as in the US and UK.

A recent study commissioned by Bunq revealed that 65% of Europeans want a single platform to handle banking and crypto, while over half of potential crypto investors cited current platforms as too complex or insecure.

The move comes on the heels of similar actions by rival neobank Revolut, which expanded its crypto services to 30 EEA markets in late 2024. With more than 12.5 million users, Bunq is positioning itself at the center of Europe’s digital finance revolution — offering simplicity, security, and a streamlined crypto experience to everyday users.
