How to buy Bitcoin with Bendigo Bank

Can I buy Bitcoin with Bendigo Bank?

If you are wanting to invest in Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency directly through the Bendigo Bank platform, you will be unsuccessful. This is because most major banks in Australia do not currently support a cryptocurrency investing feature on their platforms.

Not to worry, there are alternative and secure options for Bendigo Bank account holders to invest in Bitcoin. You simply need to link your Bendigo Bank account with a secure, licensed cryptocurrency exchange like eToro.
