Raiffeisen Expands Bitpanda Partnership to Reach 18 Million CEE Customers
Raiffeisen Bank International is expanding its partnership with Bitpanda to reach more than 18 million customers across Central and Eastern Europe.
The deal allows RBI's network banks to deploy Bitpanda's digital-asset infrastructure, giving customers access to a range of cryptocurrencies through their banking apps.
Bitpanda has already tested this model in Austria, where its infrastructure is integrated into Raiffeisen's Mein ELBA app. Customers can invest in over 650 cryptoassets with as little as €1, and transactions are funded directly from their Raiffeisen account.
The new partnership separates distribution from execution, allowing RBI's network banks to provide the access layer while Bitpanda handles the underlying digital-asset infrastructure.
