1. What premiums can I expect on Bitpanda?

Opening and maintaining a Bitpanda account is 100% free of charge. The premiums for buying and selling Bitcoin on Bitpanda are 0.99%.

On Bitpanda, all premiums for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies and digital assets are already included in the offered prices, which are constantly updated in real-time. This ensures that you will always receive the exact amount of coins or fiat shown on the order confirmation page.

To provide more transparency regarding trade fees, we have updated our trade summary. You can now see the exact fee applied to each trade, which ranges from 0.00% to 2.49%. Below is a breakdown of the values displayed in your trade summary:

Price displayed at the top – The final price you pay, including fees;
Offer Price – The price of the asset excluding fees;
Buy Amount – The amount of the asset you are purchasing;
Trade Fee – The fee applied to the trade, displayed separately for clarity;
Buy Volume – The amount we are trading on the market for you.

Price-tracking websites such as CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko, for example, take the price of several marketplaces and calculate the average price. Some websites use the price of the most recent trade and some use the average of the highest bid and the lowest offer. As a consequence, the price displayed on these sites can differ from the prices on actual markets and from the prices displayed on our platform.

Note: All fiat deposits and withdrawals are free of charge.

After making a purchase, the current fiat value of the cryptocurrency is displayed in your wallet. This amount reflects the real-time price of the asset. The selling price, including premiums, is always displayed before completing a trade. The difference between the buying and selling price is known as the spread.

3. What is Bitpanda Swap and what are the advantages?

Bitpanda Swap allows you to instantly swap any supported cryptocurrency on Bitpanda to any other supported coin or token on our platform. When swapping between two cryptocurrencies via Bitpanda Swap, you pay less in premiums than if you were to trade cryptocurrencies on our platform.

All premiums for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies are already included in the offered prices. The prices are constantly updated in real-time. To avoid confusion, this means you will always receive the exact amount of coins shown on the order confirmation page.

4. What are the spreads for Bitpanda Stocks and ETFs?

Bitpanda Stocks enables you to make fractional investments. To allow for this, Bitpanda issues a derivative contract which is backed by the underlying stock or ETF. You can read more about this here.

For stocks and ETFs, we do not charge any regular deposit fees, commissions, overnight fees, minimum fees or other costs involved that you might have seen with banks or other providers. However, the spread (difference between the “Bid” and “Ask” prices) is adjusted based on your trading amount, the current market situation and the price adjustments described in the cost transparency documents.

You can find detailed information on the pricing structure in the derivative contract and the prospectus.

5. What are the fees and premiums for precious metals?

Gold

For buying gold, you pay a premium of 0.5% of the amount you buy, and 1% of the amount you sell.

Silver

For silver, you pay a premium of 2.5% for buying and 2% for selling.

Platinum

6. Which fiat currencies can I deposit on Bitpanda?

We offer fiat deposits in EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, TRY, PLN, HUF, CZK, DKK and SEK with which you can then purchase cryptocurrencies on Bitpanda. If you want to deposit a non-supported currency, exchange fees may apply depending on the respective providers. These fees are not charged by us and are not included in our prices. Please inform yourself via the respective provider. Click here for an overview of our deposit limits.

7. What is the transaction fee or miner fee?

The transaction fee is paid to the miners who secure the network and process transactions for new blocks on the blockchain. The transaction fees on the blockchain networks do not depend on the amount of coins transferred. However, on certain blockchains, these fees vary according to the traffic on the network.

On the Ethereum and Bitcoin network, low fees during periods when the traffic is high may result in delays that can be very long. For this reason, we dynamically adjust the fee depending on the congestion on the network. Keep in mind that Ethereum fees apply not only to ETH and ETC but to all ERC20 tokens as well.

Note: Please note that Bitpanda does not make earnings from these withdrawal fees. They are used solely to pay the network to process your transaction. In addition, we use techniques such as Segregated Witness or transaction batching to further reduce fees for our users.
