Bulgaria's Postbank, part of the Eurobank group, has announced that from early 2027 its customers will be able to invest in crypto assets, stocks, exchange-traded funds, commodities and precious metals directly from its app. The service will be delivered with an international platform that was not named. Customers will be able to invest in fractions of shares or tokens, making small amounts possible. The bank also reported that in the first nine months of 2026 the number of digital payments rose 47% and active app users grew 32%.
What it means: The announcement is of particular interest in Greece, because Postbank is a subsidiary of Eurobank. It is one of the first examples of a bank in a Greek group offering direct access to crypto assets inside its app, and in Bulgaria, which joined the euro area in 2026. The model mirrors what banks in Germany and Austria have already adopted: the bank keeps the customer relationship and the app, while a licensed platform provides execution and custody under MiCA. Customers do not need to move money to foreign exchanges, and the bank does not lose deposits to digital challengers. Fractional investing is aimed mainly at younger customers with small amounts. The next question is whether the Eurobank group or other Greek banks will bring a similar service to Greece, where Revolut and other platforms already hold a significant share of this audience. For investors, access through a bank does not reduce crypto volatility, so clear risk information remains essential.
