Fintech unicorn Bitpanda is expanding its partnership with Deutsche Bank to provide real-time payment solutions for incoming and outgoing transactions for users in Germany. This API-based account solution will provide Bitpanda with access to German IBANs, streamlining and enhancing the experience for users and ensuring confidence, speed and efficiency. This is just the latest step taken as part of Bitpanda's efforts to provide a tailored local solution and supporting the continued strengthening of Bitpanda's position as the leading digital-asset trading platform in Europe. Deutsche Bank already supports the operational needs of Bitpanda as its European Hausbank for cross-currency solutions in Austria and Spain.
