How to buy Crypto or Bitcoin with Intesa Sanpaolo

Can I buy Crypto with Intesa Sanpaolo Bank?

Intesa Sanpaolo does not offer any digital asset services like crypto trading, or cryptocurrency custody through their online banking platform. This is because their bank does not support the required infrastructure necessary to facilitate cryptocurrency transactions, such as a crypto wallet.

The only way Intesa Sanpaolo bank account holders can buy cryptocurrencies is through a licensed and regulated cryptocurrency trading platform in Italy and Europe. With this method, you can transfer funds directly from your Intesa online banking account through web or mobile to start trading crypto assets.
