Which banks offer Web3 business accounts?

Business accounts for Web3 means the bank will onboard a company whose business is crypto, and 23 of the 36 pass. The full-score group spans Swiss and Liechtenstein banks (Sygnum, AMINA Bank, Bitcoin Suisse, Bank Frick), US and Gulf institutions (Anchorage Digital, Xapo Bank, Singapore Gulf Bank, Zand Bank) and European and US rails (Wirex, LHV, Monerium, BCB Group, ClearBank, Cross River Bank). Partial scores go to banks with conditions attached: bunq takes MiCA-licensed CASPs on a fiat-only account, Swissquote serves Swiss SMEs, Deutsche Bank and DBS bank named exchanges case by case, Commerzbank needs EUR 500,000, and Mercury takes startups but not exchanges or MSBs. The 13 that fail are mostly retail apps: Revolut bans crypto businesses outright, Santander · Openbank and Liv · Emirates NBD offer no business accounts, N26 Business is for self-employed people under their own name, Wio Bank turns away exchanges and custodians according to third-party guides, and PostFinance, BBVA, the two cantonal banks, Raiffeisen NÖ-Wien, ruya, RAKBank and Rebind publish nothing for crypto firms.

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.
Anchorage Digital12/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes for institutions, no for individuals.
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.
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.
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.
SG-FORGE7/16TraditionalSolidnoneYes for institutions and crypto firms, no for individuals. SG-FORGE is a stablecoin issuer and custodian, not a retail bank.
DBS7/16TraditionalSolidnoneYes for accredited and institutional investors, with a closed loop. Ordinary retail customers get bank rails to licensed exchanges but no crypto trading at DBS.
ClearBank7/16Business bankingSolidnoneYes for regulated crypto businesses, no for individuals.
Deutsche Bank6/16TraditionalWatchnoneYes for crypto businesses and institutions, not yet for individuals.
Commerzbank4/16TraditionalWatchnoneYes for large German corporate clients, no for individuals.
Mercury4/16Business bankingWatchnonePartly. Crypto startups, DAOs and funds get accounts and can wire to exchanges, but Mercury bans exchanges and MSBs and lists buying or selling crypto through the account as grounds for closure.
Custodia Bank3/16Crypto-nativeCautionnoneNot really. Custodia is a chartered Wyoming bank, but today it sells blockchain infrastructure to other banks and publishes no customer account, no fiat rail and no exchange transfer service.
