Bitpanda is the trading name of the Austrian crypto exchange, payment processor, and merchant service provider Bitpanda Payments GmbH.
The Austrian regulator FMA granted Bitpanda an e-Money Institution (EMI) license in March 2022. Additionally, Bitpanda is authorized by the French AMF.
BitPanda is one of the new crypto unicorns. The start-up focuses on European markets, with offices in eight cities across the region, including Vienna, Barcelona, Berlin, Krakow, London, Madrid, Milan, and Paris.
