According to information provided in the press release, the platform can be used by millions of customers, confirming Kraken’s reliability, which currently has 13 million users worldwide. Attracting new customers to Bunq could significantly strengthen Kraken’s position amid reports of the exchange’s plans for an IPO in 2026.
“Bank users have long awaited a simple, secure, and understandable way to invest in digital assets,” said Bunq CEO Ali Niknam.
Additionally, Kraken and payment company Mastercard recently announced a partnership, which plans to launch physical and digital debit crypto cards. This partnership aims to simplify access to cryptocurrency services for a wider audience.
