BW-Bank Joins Crypto Market with Partnership to Offer Ten Cryptocurrencies
Austrian bank BW-Bank has introduced crypto trading to its securities account customers through partnership with Bitpanda, an authorized provider of crypto services in Germany. Since September 9th, 2026, clients can access and trade ten cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Chainlink (LINK), Cardano (ADA), Tron (TRX), Polkadot (DOT) and Hedera (HBAR).
The contractual counterparty for the crypto business is Bitpanda GmbH, or a group company named in its terms of business. This means that customers should read Bitpanda's terms of business before placing their first order, not BW-Bank's.
Bitpanda holds the crypto assets bought through this service, which means they hold the private keys and keep internal records of who is owed what amount. The bank does not act as custodian, but provides access to the platform.
