Germany’s largest savings bank financial group, known as the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, have announced their plan to offer Bitcoin and other crypto trading services to private customers. The move comes after years of hesitation over digital assets risk and volatility.

“We should offer customers the opportunity to trade cryptocurrencies at the Sparkassen as well,” said Matthias Dießl, President of the Sparkassen, in an interview with Bloomberg that was translated into English.

According to the German Savings Banks and Giro Association (DSGV), the Sparkassen will provide reliable access to a regulated crypto offering through their mobile app, with technical support from DekaBank, the investment arm owned by the savings banks. The service will allow self-directed investors to trade cryptocurrencies and is expected to launch in the summer of 2026.
