Which banks offer exchange transfers?

Accepting exchange transfers means the bank will let money move between your account and a crypto exchange, and 31 of the 36 banks on the index pass. The clear yes group is the crypto-native and business banks: Sygnum, AMINA Bank, Xapo Bank, Singapore Gulf Bank, Bank Frick, Anchorage Digital, Wirex, LHV, Monerium, BCB Group, ClearBank, Cross River Bank and Zand Bank, plus Swissquote with its six whitelisted exchanges. Most traditional banks and the UAE apps pass with a partial score because they publish no policy either way, and Revolut and bunq are partial because Revolut lists some exchanges as unsupported recipients and bunq can block payments its risk engine flags. Five fail: N26 has no transfer in or out and no stated rule, Custodia Bank has no fiat rail, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank publish no retail policy and no product, and Mercury lists buying or selling crypto through the account as a Terms of Service violation.

The banks that pass

BankScoreTypeHealthP2PVerdict
Sygnum15/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes, but only for qualified investors, companies and institutions. Sygnum does not take retail clients.
AMINA Bank15/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes, but only for professional clients and companies. Individuals need CHF 500,000 in assets plus finance experience, or CHF 2 million.
Swissquote15/16NeobankSolidStrictYes, with fenced on-chain flows: crypto comes in only from six named exchanges or your own wallet, and never goes out to an exchange.
Xapo Bank14/16Crypto-nativeSolidUnknownYes. Bitcoin and stablecoins are the core product, though the bank publishes no policy on transfers to exchanges.
Wirex14/16NeobankUnknownStrictYes. Crypto moves freely in and out, but the card cannot buy crypto elsewhere and the old app lost its crypto features in the EEA on 30 June 2026.
Bank Frick13/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes for crypto businesses, intermediaries and wealthy private clients. No walk-in retail.
Revolut13/16NeobankWatchMixedYes for individuals, with the deepest crypto stack of any app-bank. No for crypto businesses.

Bunq12/16NeobankWatchMixedYes for retail through the Kraken-powered bunq Crypto tab, and for licensed CASPs on a fiat-only business account. Coins cannot leave the app.
Bitcoin Suisse11/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes, for people with CHF 50,000 or more. It is a crypto broker and custodian, not a deposit bank.
Rebind11/16NeobankWatchUnknownYes for euro transfers through a personal Monerium IBAN, but Rebind is an app, not a bank, and it never names exchanges.
Singapore Gulf Bank10/16Crypto-nativeUnknownnoneYes. Built for crypto firms, with a USD personal account that plugs straight into Binance Bahrain.
Monerium10/16Business bankingSolidStrictYes. Monerium is built for moving euros between bank rails and your own wallet, but its terms ban using the IBAN for P2P crypto platforms.
BCB Group10/16Business bankingWatchnoneYes for crypto businesses and institutions, no for individuals. BCB is a payments and settlement provider, not a bank.
LHV9/16Business bankingSolidRelaxedYes. Crypto trading is built into the Estonian app, and the UK arm banks Coinbase and Bitstamp, but coins cannot leave the bank.
PostFinance9/16TraditionalSolidMixedYes. PostFinance sells, holds and stakes crypto in its own app, but only for Swiss residents and with no way to move coins to your own wallet.
BBVA9/16TraditionalSolidMixedYes. BBVA sells and holds bitcoin and ether inside its own app in Spain, Switzerland and Türkiye, but the Spanish service is a closed loop and moving coins out costs 4%.
Standard Chartered8/16TraditionalWatchnoneYes for institutions, through spot trading, custody and stablecoins. Retail customers get little beyond the Mox app in Hong Kong.
Cross River Bank8/16Business bankingWatchnoneYes for crypto businesses and fintech partners, which is who the bank is built for. Individuals can bank here too, but get no crypto features.
Zand Bank8/16Business bankingSolidnoneYes for licensed businesses and institutions, no for individuals.
RAKBank8/16TraditionalSolidnoneYes. Crypto trading is built into the app, but it is a closed loop run by Bitpanda, and exchange transfer rules are not published.

ClearBank7/16Business bankingSolidnoneYes for regulated crypto businesses, no for individuals.
Santander · Openbank7/16TraditionalSolidStrictYes for buying crypto inside the bank, with a closed loop that is slow and costly to leave, and exchange transfers that vary by country.
Liv · Emirates NBD7/16NeobankSolidnoneYes for buying and holding crypto inside the app. Coins stay with the custodian, and there is no published route to an external wallet.

Questions people ask

Which banks anywhere clearly allow transfers to and from Coinbase or Kraken?

AMINA Bank names Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, ByBit, Deribit and Revolut as exchanges you can bring crypto in from. Swissquote accepts deposits from Bitpanda, Bitstamp, Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken and Revolut. Revolut takes crypto from Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Bitstamp and eToro. Singapore Gulf Bank links USD to Binance Bahrain directly, and Anchorage Digital settles with Binance off-exchange. ClearBank, BCB Group and LHV bank Coinbase and Kraken as clients.

Why do so many banks on this list score partial rather than a full yes for exchange transfers?

Because they say nothing. PostFinance, Zürcher Kantonalbank, Luzerner Kantonalbank, Raiffeisen NÖ-Wien, Wio Bank, RAKBank and ruya all run crypto in-app but publish no policy on sending fiat to an outside exchange. Santander UK caps exchange payments at GBP 1,000 per transaction and blocks Binance, and BBVA customers report occasional card or transfer blocks. A partial score means transfers usually go through, but the bank has not committed to it in writing.
