Bunq and Blockrise partner to provide users with access to Bitcoin services

[Fiscal]

Blockrise and bunq have officially partnered to launch integrated Bitcoin-friendly bank accounts. Through bunq’s new Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform, Blockrise users can now access fully embedded bank accounts directly linked to Bitcoin services. Deposits are protected up to €100,000 under the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme via bunq’s banking license.

I haven't looked into the specifics yet, not sure if it's interesting or useable in a decent way. I'll give it a try.

Nice! They’ve come a long way from their initial “no crypto or we close your account” policy.
I don’t see anything new in the platform yet, it might take some time.

If I am not mistaken, it has now been rolled out in the Netherlands (where Bunq originates) and the rest will follow soon

This is what I see now:

If I click continue, they start requesting more information. Since I don’t want to poke the sleeping bear, and risk account closure for some wrong answer, I pass.

So, should one open up a Bunq account first and then a Blockrise account or vice-versa?

Just use Kraken and any bank/EMI of your choice
