Bitpanda Enterprise to power Bulgaria’s first bank-integrated crypto offering with Fibank

More than one million customers set to gain access to digital assets through the My Fibank app

Bitpanda Enterprise has partnered with Fibank (First Investment Bank), one of Bulgaria’s largest banks, to integrate crypto investing into the My Fibank app. Expected to launch in early 2027, the service will build on the infrastructure provided by Bitpanda Enterprise and will give Fibank’s more than one million customers access to digital assets alongside their existing banking services.

“The partnership makes Fibank the first bank in Bulgaria to integrate access to crypto into its app, with crypto asset services provided solely by Bitpanda . It also reflects a broader shift in how consumers access digital assets. While the first phase of adoption was largely driven by crypto exchanges and crypto-native users, digital assets are increasingly becoming part of the banking and financial services people already use.” – according to the press release.

Nadeem Ladki, Global Head of Bitpanda Enterprise, said: “Digital assets are becoming part of mainstream finance, and banks are playing a central role in that shift. At Bitpanda Enterprise, we provide the infrastructure and technology for that. Together with Fibank, we are putting that into practice in Bulgaria, bringing crypto to more than one million customers through a banking experience they already know and trust.”

Nikola Bakalov, CEO of Fibank, said: “Customer financial habits are evolving rapidly, and it is vital for My Fibank to innovate alongside them. The partnership with Bitpanda is a natural next step in the development of the application as a digital platform through which customers can conveniently use an ever-wider range of financial solutions. For us, it is particularly important that this new opportunity is being implemented alongside an established European technology partner and in compliance with applicable European requirements.”
