Germany’s Savings Banks Finance Group has started selling crypto through its mobile banking apps. The first five banks to launch the service have offered Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Polygon since yesterday.
The savings bank network serves around 50 million customers and plans to add another 30–40 banks each month. Each transaction carries a fee of about €0.99 plus a spread, and assets are held in custody by DekaBank. The official warning notes that crypto is highly volatile and that no investment advice is offered.
The takeaway: another retail on-ramp has opened in Europe. It’s a bullish narrative, but unlikely to move prices directly in the short term—it’s more of a slow-burn catalyst.
Do you think “buying crypto through a banking app” will continue to spread, or will fees and regulation slow it down?
