German cryptocurrency traders in Germany can now conduct real-time inbound and outbound payments on BitPanda following a recent partnership between the crypto trading platform and Deutsche Bank.

This collaboration significantly improves transaction efficiency and security, offering robust liquidity for BitPanda's user base in Germany.

Through the partnership with Deutsche Bank, BitPanda gains access to an API-based account solution, allowing the platform to utilize German International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs).

IBANs serve as globally recognized codes that aid banks in securely processing international transfers. BitPanda aims to leverage this service to enhance the speed and safety of fund transfers, providing users in the region with a German IBAN for deposit and withdrawal transactions, among other advantages.

Consequently, all fiat transactions involving deposits or withdrawals on BitPanda will now flow through Deutsche Bank for immediate settlements.

Facilitating Real-Time Cash Settlements for Crypto Traders

In a statement to Cointelegraph, Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, Deputy CEO of BitPanda, emphasized the pivotal role of banks in democratizing crypto accessibility.

BitPanda has historically aligned with major financial institutions such as Raiffeisen Bank International, LBBW, and N26 to foster cryptocurrency adoption. Enzersdorfer-Konrad highlighted:

"Throughout the past decade, we have prioritized trust, compliance, and security, enabling us to take substantial strides forward. Trust and integrity cannot be purchased; they must be earned, and this is precisely what we have accomplished."

Deutsche Bank will furnish safeguarding accounts and value-enriching payment solutions, aiding BitPanda in optimizing treasury operations and reconciliations. This integration is anticipated to fortify liquidity across BitPanda's core markets.

The Significance of Bank Collaborations in Crypto Adoption

Enzersdorfer-Konrad posits that crypto-bank alliances offer tangible benefits to end-users.

"Our infrastructure empowers banks to deliver a comprehensive crypto offering to their clientele. The inclusion of Deutsche Bank, a prominent international financial entity, exemplifies BitPanda's maturation and the esteem drawn from partnering with esteemed institutions."

The regulatory certainty established by the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework has spurred major European banks to craft crypto solutions. Enzersdorfer-Konrad underscored the importance of this framework in advancing regulatory clarity.

In an earlier conversation with Cointelegraph, Enzersdorfer-Konrad elucidated:

"European banks are venturing into crypto as an asset class and tokenization realm due to the conclusive regulatory guidelines introduced by MiCA in Europe. This framework has brought unprecedented clarity for banks."

The Deputy CEO highlighted that banks have recognized their technical limitations, often neglecting thorough research in favor of expeditiously launching new products. Despite growing confidence in offering crypto services due to regulatory affirmations, banks acknowledge their deficit in technical expertise and infrastructure, prompting collaborations with proficient crypto service providers like BitPanda.
