  • Before investing in cryptocurrencies, you should familiarize yourself with how they work and with the opportunities and risks. In some cases, cryptocurrencies are subject to sharp price fluctuations, which can result in significant losses in value. You should therefore only invest money that you can afford to do without and make your investment decisions carefully. You can also start off with a small, manageable amount. With the crypto saving plan, you can invest from as little as 50 US dollars. Once set up, it automatically runs in the background, without you constantly having to worry about the right time.

  • Yes. You can buy, sell and stake cryptocurrencies in just a few clicks via online banking. Your holdings are displayed clearly so that you can keep track of your portfolio at all times.
