DekaBank announced a gradual rollout of cryptocurrency trading for Sparkasse customers, but each savings bank will decide whether to offer it. Adult customers of participating banks will be able to trade through their bank’s app without opening an investment account, provided they make their own investment decisions.
The service will initially support bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Polygon, with a €0.99 fee per trade order. DekaBank said it will provide trading, custody and customer support under a German regulatory license received in 2025. It warned that crypto investments carry significant risks and prices can fluctuate sharply.
