Bitpanda accepts identity documents from over 80 countries across Europe and beyond. Check the list to see if yours is supported.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to complete your verification, if our verification services are unable to verify your account.
Due to an EU regulation (AML5) that came into effect on the 10th of January 2020, Bitpanda users are required to verify their Bitpanda accounts.
Learn more about it here.
You can reset your 2FA on your Bitpanda account using your recovery code. Just follow these steps:
- Open your 2FA-app on your smartphone
- Tap on the option to add a new 2FA code
- Enter your Bitpanda 2FA recovery code
If your Bitpanda 2FA entry does not work, try synchronising the time in the app settings.
Your 2FA will be added to your app and will work as before. You can use your 2FA recovery code multiple times.
I don’t have my recovery code
If you don’t have access to your recovery code, no problem. Send us a photo of your identity document (identity card or passport) next to a handwritten note with the following information:
- "Bitpanda 2FA Reset"
- Today’s date
Send us the picture using this contact form and enter your registered email address in the appropriate field. We need a picture showing the legible handwritten note and an identity document. Make sure your date of birth and name are legible.
Please make sure that your ID document is entirely visible and the image is of good quality before sending it.
Please note that after a 2FA reset, withdrawals are restricted for 48 hours for safety reasons. If you reset your 2FA with the recovery code, this restriction won't apply.
If you've entered the wrong phone number during registration or switched to a new phone number, please follow these simple steps:
- Check if the new phone number is from a country where our services are available. We currently accept phone numbers only from those countries.
- Take a picture of the identity document (identity card or passport) next to a handwritten note with the following information:
- Bitpanda Phone Number Change
- Your new phone number
- Today’s date
Note: Please make sure that your ID document is entirely visible and the image is of good quality before sending it. Please note that we don't accept scans, driver's licenses and selfies.
To change your registered email address, please send us a picture of your identity document (identity card or passport), next to a handwritten note with the following information:
- "Bitpanda Email Address Change"
- Your new email address
- Today’s date
See our sample pictures for illustrative purposes.
Note: Please note that you need to let us know if another account is already using your new email address. We do not accept the same email address in two accounts. In this case, please explain to us how that happened.
Please make sure that your ID document is entirely visible and the image is of good quality before sending it. Please note that we don't accept scans, driver's licenses and selfies.
If you get the error message "Account is inactive" when logging in, please contact us. We will then find a solution with you as soon as possible.
We deactivate accounts for the security of our users and ourselves. This may be the case, for example, if you have created a second account on Bitpanda, which is not allowed. Please refer to section 5.1 of our terms and conditions to learn more about our double account policy.
Please keep in mind that you won't receive any notification regarding account deactivation due to legal reasons. Bitpanda also reserves the right to lock and/or freeze and/or close accounts without further notice, in cases cited in section 11.2 of our terms and conditions.
Note: If you have already created a second account, please contact us from your registered email address using our contact form. Simply choose “Double accounts” instead of “Login and 2FA” in the dropdown menu above and let us know which email address and phone number you want to use in the future for your Bitpanda account.

For safety reasons, you might have to wait 1 to 2 business days before you can withdraw your assets after a recent fiat deposit. Bitpanda makes the deposits available to you instantly, but banks take some time to complete the transaction.
Please take a look at the explanations described in this article of the status a cryptocurrency deposit or withdrawal can have in your Bitpanda wallet. You can also see the status in your history.
If your cryptocurrency deposit does not appear at all, see what you can do.
After successful verification, there is a limit of EUR 2,500 for deposits with the online payment methods EPS/GIROPAY and SOFORT which will be increased after a verification deposit is completed.
The verification deposit needs to be completed via bank transfer (SEPA), SOFORT or GIROPAY/EPS, and can be done with an amount between EUR 25 and EUR 2,500.
The limit increase happens once we receive the money of this deposit on our bank account. Once we received the money you can use the full limits.
This transfer can take up to three business days.
By bank transfer higher amounts can be deposited directly after the successful verification, and will also be considered as verification deposit.

If a cryptocurrency is in trade only mode, it means it is currently only available for purchase and sale on Bitpanda.
Once all the wallet features, such as sending and receiving, are available, we will announce this. When exactly that will happen depends on the final testing to ensure security and functionality.
The following procedure will also stay the same for additionally added cryptocurrencies:
- First we offer a trade only wallet, with which our users can buy and sell
- A bit later a fully functional wallet will be available
The time needed can vary for each coin, depending on the final testing to ensure security and functionality. This plan allows us to add new cryptocurrencies fast, while offering the same flexibility and features as you already know from our existing ones later.
As this issue might have arisen due to a variety of reasons we suggest that you use the following suggestions based on your individual situation:
- Please request the SMS-PIN once and wait for at least 15 minutes
- Make sure your phone can receive text messages currently and is not in Airplane Mode or Offline Mode
- Sometimes restarting your phone or switching between normal and flight mode could prove to be a simple solution
- Check your signal strength as you may want to move to another location if you are in a closed, crowded or rural area

Fork
In general, Bitpanda does not automatically support forks of any cryptographic blockchain-based digital information units and assesses each fork on a case by case basis. We only support forks if we've officially announced this beforehand.
You can find further information in our Bitpanda Fork Policy.
Staking
Learn more about our trade only mode and why transactions are not yet available for some cryptocurrencies. You can find more information on why a cryptocurrency transaction might be disabled, in this article.
Airdrop
For any airdrop from someone other than Bitpanda, Bitpanda does not automatically credit any Token or any other digital information unit to the respective Bitpanda Client Account. Bitpanda does not advise on such other airdrops or on ways to participate in airdrops.
You can find further information in our terms and conditions.
Giveaways or Promotions
They are similar to airdrops, but the criteria often do not require recipients to own established tokens or to be part of specific communities. Giveaways may require recipients to use specific wallets.
