Why Bitpanda
Core strengths that set Bitpanda apart
Spend crypto with the Bitpanda Card
The Bitpanda Card converts your crypto or fiat holdings at the point of sale so you can spend assets anywhere Visa is accepted. Card management lives in the Bitpanda app — order, pause, or top up instantly. Availability and shipping depend on your country; physical delivery lets you use digital balances in everyday purchases.
Investing, savings, and precious metals
Bitpanda supports one-off buys and recurring savings plans for cryptocurrencies, stocks and precious metals, enabling fractional ownership with low minimums. The platform bundles portfolio tracking, alerts and simple tax reporting exports, making it practical for hands-off savers as well as active investors who want diverse exposure in one account.
