Partners Banka launches first Czech bank bitcoin trading service with Anycoin

From 10 August, Partners Banka will let its retail customers buy and sell bitcoin directly in the bank’s mobile app, becoming the first bank in the Czech Republic to offer on‑platform cryptocurrency trading. The service is powered by Anycoin, which holds a licence under the EU MiCA regulation and will handle trade execution and custody.

Clients can open a crypto account in minutes, with a minimum transaction of 500 CZK and a maximum of 1.5 million CZK. The app will display real‑time bitcoin prices and a history of each user’s transactions alongside other financial data. Partners Banka CEO Petr Borkovec warned that bitcoin is a risky asset and should constitute no more than five percent of a well‑diversified portfolio.

Anycoin CEO Marek Kyrsch described the partnership as a “milestone” that could help digital assets become a natural part of modern financial services. An Ipsos poll cited in the announcement found that 47 % of Czechs have some relationship with bitcoin, 17 % have personal investing experience, and another 11 % are potential new investors.
