Czech Partners Banka adds bitcoin buying to its banking app
- —Bitcoin purchases available in the Partners Banka app from 7,500 forints
- —Transaction fee is 1.5%; activation and account management are free
- —Trading and custody are handled by a MiCA-licensed partner, not the bank
- —The bank had over 174,000 clients and 650 billion forints in deposits by March 2026
Why it matters: It shows how a mainstream bank can embed bitcoin into regulated EU infrastructure, while Hungary's licensing regime drives providers out of the market.
