Crypto and Web3 businesses face unique banking challenges: most traditional banks refuse accounts for exchanges, DAOs, and DeFi protocols. Specialist crypto-friendly EMIs and banks provide the fiat banking rails that crypto businesses need — IBAN accounts, SEPA/SWIFT access, and often direct crypto settlement. Under MiCA (effective December 2024), EU-regulated VASPs must also maintain compliant banking relationships.

Traditional banks perceive crypto businesses as high-risk due to AML/KYC complexity, regulatory uncertainty, and reputational concerns. Many banks have blanket policies against crypto-related businesses regardless of their compliance posture.
Revolut, Payset, ConnectPay, and Genome are among the most crypto-friendly EMIs in Europe. They accept crypto exchanges, Web3 companies, and businesses that accept crypto payments. Always verify current policy as it changes frequently.
A crypto-friendly EMI is a traditional payment institution that accepts crypto businesses as clients and may offer fiat-crypto settlement. A VASP is a regulated entity that directly provides crypto-asset services (exchange, custody, transfer). Many businesses need both.
