Die functionwhich is currently available in six European countries, is part of Bunq's plan, a uniform platform for the management of savings, payments and investments.

Driven by users' demand for simplicity and trust, Bunq Crypto aims to combine the safety of a licensed bank with the reach of an established crypto exchange. The service corresponds to the mica regulations and will soon be extended to the rest of the EU, Great Britain and the USA, subject to official approval.

This step reflects a general change in the financial services sector, since consumer demand continues to increase for integrated platforms.
