Raiffeisen Teams Up with Bitpanda to Expand Digital Asset Access Across Europe
Raiffeisen Bank International has partnered with Bitpanda to expand digital asset access across its Central and Eastern European banking network.
The partnership follows an earlier integration between Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien in Austria and Bitpanda, which allowed customers to access digital assets through their bank while Bitpanda supplied the supporting infrastructure.
The new agreement establishes a common framework for Raiffeisen subsidiaries, with Bitpanda Enterprise handling the underlying infrastructure. However, individual network banks will retain control over their respective offerings and decide when to introduce digital assets based on local requirements.
The partnership could potentially reach approximately 18 million customers across the network, but the rollout will proceed gradually across Raiffeisen's Central and Eastern European subsidiaries.
