RAKBANK has launched a crypto trading service for retail users in the UAE, becoming the first traditional bank in the region to do so. The service, integrated into RAKBANK's mobile app, allows customers to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly from their UAE dirham accounts. This initiative is powered by Bitpanda Broker MENA DMCC, a VARA-regulated entity in Dubai, and is initially available by invitation, with plans for a wider release. The move aligns with the UAE's strategic goal to position itself as a leader in blockchain and cryptocurrency projects. By offering this service, RAKBANK aims to provide its customers with seamless access to the growing digital asset market, leveraging Bitpanda's platform to ensure a secure and regulated trading environment.
