Bitpanda Technology Solutions (BTS) has finalised its first agreement with The National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah (RAKBANK), after the firm's recent expansion to the UAE.
The partnership aims to offer UAE residents a secure platform to manage and trade digital assets, and will provide clients with exclusive access to RAKBANK’s digital payment tokens.

By merging our expertise, we aim to revolutionise the traditional financial landscape for the benefit of our customers.”
Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, CEO of Bitpanda Technology Solutions, adds: “Alongside RAKBANK, we will transform crypto access for millions in the UAE and lay the groundwork for future innovation.”
The provision of services will be subject to approval from the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
