Depositing and withdrawing EUR via Open Banking is temporarily unavailable while we perform scheduled maintenance. In the meantime, you can buy with a card or deposit via Bank Transfer (SEPA).
Blockchain.com users in eligible regions can now instantly deposit EUR or GBP to their wallets and buy crypto with Instant Transfers via Open Banking (EUR currently supported in AT, DE, FR, IE, IT, NL, and GBP supported in GB).
Many banks do not charge a fee for these types of transfers, so they can be great for quick, cost-effective transfers (please check with your bank regarding any transfer fees).
When linking a bank account with Opening Banking , please only link a current or savings account to avoid potential transfer reversals or other complications.
Please see the important information at the end of this article for details.
