Pros and cons
Pros
- Local account details include an IBAN, listed under iban, so local payments land without a third-party intermediary account.
- The pricing model is no monthly fee and low fx, so holding the account and converting stay light on cost.
- Payouts reach a bank account, a cash pickup point, a wallet or a card, all listed under bank, cash pickup and wallet.
- Onboarding lists no credit check and digital only, so signing up carries no credit assessment and happens in the app.
Cons
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line among the channels.
- The currency list is limited to 7.
- SWIFT withdrawals in US dollars add a fixed charge on top of a share of the withdrawal amount, and they take several banking days.
Who it suits
- Expats and travelers landing in a new country who need local details to receive money, since an IBAN is offered under iban.
- Freelancers billing clients across 7 currencies who want funds held locally between invoices.
- Businesses paying out through a bank account, a cash pickup point, a wallet or a card, listed under bank, cash pickup and wallet.
Who should look elsewhere

- Skrill, which adds a percentage for sending and receiving in the same currency.
- Paysera, which sends euros to SEPA accounts free of charge.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hold a Bitbanker account?+
The pricing model is listed as no monthly fee and low fx, so a monthly subscription is not the cost driver. The same account covers 7 currencies, and a currency conversion costs 4% when money is actually changed.
What does it cost to send money?+
Transfers between users are charged at $0 and the exchange rate markup is 0%, so the rate shown is the rate applied. SWIFT withdrawals in US dollars are the exception, with a fixed charge added to a share of the amount.
How fast can I get money out?+
Cashless withdrawals by bank transfer land within a business day, while SWIFT takes several banking days. Payouts go to a bank account, a cash pickup point, a wallet or a card, all listed under bank, cash pickup and wallet, so the speed depends on the route you pick.
Who regulates Bitbanker?+
The service is run by "Bitbanker KG" Limited Liability Company and is licensed by the Financial Market Regulation and Supervision Service under the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic, under licence 190. The company is based in the Kyrgyz Republic, given as KG.
Which currencies and local account details do I get?+
Bitbanker covers 7 currencies, and the local account detail offered is an IBAN, listed under iban. That is the piece that makes it easier to receive local payments in the country you live in now.
Is a credit check needed, and is it an app only service?+
Both features are listed under no credit check and digital only, which covers no credit check and a digital-only service. Signing up does not depend on a credit assessment, and everything from onboarding to sending money happens in the app rather than at a counter.
How do I get help if a transfer is stuck?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre, which covers email, chat, a help centre and a community. There is no phone line in that list, so a blocked payment is easier to raise by email or chat and track through the help centre.
