BISON

Check both residence and identity documents

Crypto accounts are for private individuals aged 18 or above who reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, have an accepted nationality and are not subject to US tax. You must provide your tax identification details. Joint accounts, company accounts and accounts for someone else are excluded.

The document list distinguishes passports from national identity cards. For example, it accepts both for Germany and Slovenia, but lists only passports for several other nationalities. Check your exact document before beginning video verification.

Buying now or setting a rule

From the market overview, select the cryptocurrency, tap Buy or Sell, and enter euros or a crypto quantity. Confirming sends a market order; the resulting coins or euro balance appear in the portfolio. BISON permits small fractional purchases and displays the applicable maximum in the order screen.

For a price trigger, use Manager → Handelsregeln, choose a limit or stop rule and select the asset. Set the price and amount, then confirm. A pending rule reserves the expected balance. To change one, delete the unexecuted rule and create a replacement. Deleting it releases the reservation.

Scheduling a recurring purchase

In Orders, select neuer Sparplan +, choose the asset, amount and schedule, then confirm the overview. Weekly, monthly and quarterly schedules are supported, with multiple plans for an asset if wanted.

These purchases draw from your BISON euro balance. A bank standing order can keep it funded. If there is too little money, the purchase is skipped and the plan stays active for its next date. Plans can be paused or ended.

What the displayed price includes

BISON earns from the spread, meaning the difference between its buying and selling prices. The cost page gives average spreads of 1.25% for Bitcoin and Ethereum and 1.75% for other cryptocurrencies; actual spreads vary with conditions and trade size.

Account management, ordinary euro deposits and withdrawals have no separate charge. Instant deposits by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay add 2.49%. Compare the quoted buy or sell price as well as the funding method, since free account access does not remove these transaction costs.
