bunq has launched its long-awaited crypto investing service, bunq Crypto, by teaming up with Kraken—one of the most established and liquid crypto exchanges globally. The new feature is now live in six European countries, including the Netherlands, France, and Spain, with plans to expand across the EEA, the US, and the UK.
With users able to trade over 300 cryptocurrencies directly inside the bunq app, this marks a big leap in bringing digital assets into everyday banking. The move responds to a clear user demand: 65% of Europeans want a single platform to manage money and crypto, and bunq is aiming to fill that gap.
The Kraken partnership is key here — its new Crypto-as-a-Service platform, Kraken Embed, powers the back-end. This lets bunq skip the technical headaches while giving users access to Kraken’s deep liquidity and secure trading environment.
This rollout was part of bunq Update 28, where the neobank also announced new features like bunq Deals, eSIM data top-ups, and cashback perks for business users. But make no mistake—the crypto integration is the headline act, turning bunq into a one-stop-shop for spending, saving, and now, investing.
