The new service, available through the BBVA app, guarantees a completely digital experience, making it easier for bank users to access cryptocurrencies.
However, it is important to highlight that BBVA does not provide advice on cryptocurrencies, and customers will only be able to access these functionalities if they have biometric authentication enabled on their mobile devices, a measure that enhances security.
BBVA has launched this service in Spain after its success in markets such as Switzerland and Turkey, establishing itself as one of the few traditional banks that facilitates the purchase of cryptocurrencies directly from its platform.
