Bitpanda Grows Its European Bank Network as Crypto Access Widens

Bitpanda is extending its presence in European banking through a partnership with Bulgaria’s First Investment Bank (Fibank), the latest in a series of agreements that position the Austrian digital asset company as an infrastructure provider to traditional financial institutions. Announced on October 7 , the deal follows Bitpanda’s expanded partnership with Raiffeisen Bank International and a retail cryptocurrency launch through Germany’s BW-Bank in September. The three developments reflect a strategy that differs from the conventional cryptocurrency exchange model.
