(Updated) Crypto.com Introduces EUR Bank Transfers Via IBANs to its Wallet & Card App
Key step to bridge the gap between traditional and cryptocurrencies
By Adrienne Wong, SVP, Head of Product, Crypto.com
As we seek to bring best-in-class, next-generation solutions to market, we’re pleased to announce that users can now fund their Crypto.com Wallet via EUR bank transfers from accounts in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).
Starting with our community moderators for a short period of time, users will have the choice to fund their wallet via bank transfer in addition to debit or credit cards. Bank transfers are free, which makes it even easier for users to purchase crypto and top up the soon-to-be released MCO Visa Card.
The addition of bank transfers using IBANs is a significant step forward, as this connects users’ traditional bank accounts to their digital currencies. With Crypto.com’s vision to accelerate the world’s transition to cryptocurrency, bridging these two worlds is incredibly important.
Our team is also working to extend this feature to users with non-SEPA bank accounts across the globe. Stay tuned for more updates.
Note: Sender’s name (your bank account) needs to match the receiver’s legal name (in the Crypto.com Wallet). For joint accounts, one name provided must match (additional follow up may be required.)
