Fibank partners with Bitpanda for crypto access in Bulgaria

Bulgarian lender Fibank has partnered with the Vienna-based digital asset platform Bitpanda to provide its customers with access to cryptocurrency investments. Through this arrangement, Bitpanda Enterprise will provide the underlying digital asset infrastructure for a planned service within the ‘My Fibank’ mobile application.

The integration is expected to launch in early 2027 and aims to reach Fibank’s customer base of over one million people. This move makes Fibank the first Bulgarian bank to incorporate cryptocurrency investing directly into its mobile banking environment, allowing users to access digital assets through a regulated, familiar interface.

This partnership is part of a broader expansion by Bitpanda to act as an infrastructure provider for traditional financial institutions across Europe. Recent agreements include partnerships with Raiffeisen Bank International and Germany’s BW-Bank, signaling a shift toward supplying white-label trading, custody, and tokenization technology to established banks.
