Here at Bitpanda, security is our top priority, which is why we sometimes check transactions manually.
When making a bank transfer, you will first have to confirm that the account used is in your name:
If, after confirming the transaction, your deposit is on Manual approval, this can be for the following reasons:
- Your personal details stored with your bank do not match the details stored with Bitpanda (e.g. joint account, missing second name, a name change after marriage, etc.)
- You are trying to transfer money from your corporate account. In this case, please contact us in advance
- The bank account you provided is already being used with another Bitpanda account. Please note that Bitpanda does not allow multiple accounts for one person. If you are not sure whether this applies to you, please contact us
- This may occur as a result of bigger transactions, transactions of recently added assets, new features or other individual checks
What to do?
Note: If the status of your deposit or withdrawal is on Manual approval, you should have already received an email from us with information on how to proceed.
If we asked for a photo, please have a look at the instructions below.

Additional information for Apple Pay
When you make an Apple Pay deposit, a virtual card is created with another credit card number. In order for us to approve your deposit, we need both the physical card and a screenshot of the Apple Pay settings for this card, where we can confirm that the physical card is the same as the digital card used for your Apple Pay deposit.
Additionally to the information above, please also send us this information as well:
- Go to "Wallet" app on the iPhone and click on the physical card that it was used for the deposit
- You will then find three points in the top right-hand corner, where you can display your two cards under "Card Number"
- Take a photo of this screen where we can see your name and the last four digits of both cards
