Tink, A Visa Solution, and Coinbase have announced a partnership to enable crypto purchases via Pay by Bank in Germany. 

Pay by Bank is an open banking-powered payment method that allows consumers to transfer money directly from one bank account to another – quickly, securely, and without the need for manual data entry. 

The partnership allows Coinbase users in Germany to buy and sell crypto directly from their bank accounts - delivering a seamless, fast, and mobile-first payment experience. Customers can top up their accounts in just a few taps using Tink’s technology, helping to simplify and streamline access to the cryptoeconomy.  

Thomas Gmelch, Head of Commercial, Central Europe at Tink, said: “This partnership adds a new service for Coinbase users in Germany, giving them more choice in how they manage their crypto purchases. Having a Pay by Bank option makes it possible to check out quickly and securely on a mobile device, directly from a bank account. We’re proud to give individuals, businesses, and developers the tools they need to support the next wave of crypto adoption.” 

Denny Morawiak, Managing Director of Coinbase Germany, added: “We are thrilled to introduce Pay by Bank for our customers in Germany.
