N26 apparently cooperates with Bitpanda

According to media reports, Berlin-based Neobank is to collaborate with the Austrian start-up to give its customers access to cryptocurrencies.

N26 is to work with the start-up Bitpanda to integrate cryptocurrencies into its app, according to Finance Forward reports. Valentin Stalf, founder of N-26, said in an interview back in 2017 that the start-up was considering integrating a Bitcoin exchange into the app. However, this has not yet happened. Some customers are probably already waiting for a corresponding crypto feature.

This could now be possible in collaboration with Bitpanda. The Viennese start-up has been offering its technical infrastructure to other companies as a white label product for six months.

Eric Demuth, who until recently was also a columnist at Startbase , Paul Klanscheck and Christian Trummer founded Bitpanda in 2014. The founders operate a platform on which customers can invest in cryptocurrencies, shares and precious metals for as little as one euro. The aim is to redefine investing and make it accessible to as many people as possible. The fintech employs over 700 people and claims to have around three million users on its platform.

When asked by Finance Forward, neither company wanted to confirm or deny whether N26 is really working with Bitpanda. A spokeswoman for N26 apparently only confirmed that they are working with a partner company to launch a corresponding product on the market.
