Paybis adds Bancomat Pay, Bancontact, Belfius Pay and Swish for crypto purchases

Paybis has added four local payment methods in Italy, Belgium and Sweden, letting customers buy crypto through familiar bank and mobile payment apps on the web and in the Paybis app. The rollout gives more than 20 million local payment users another way to buy from 90+ listed crypto assets with fewer checkout steps.

Why it matters: - Paybis is trying to remove checkout friction for crypto buyers in Italy, Belgium and Sweden by offering payment methods people already use in daily life. - The new options are designed to replace card-entry steps with app-based confirmation, QR scans or phone-number-linked payments. - Paybis says the change matters because payment friction can cause purchases to stall even when customers intend to buy.

What happened: - Paybis added Bancomat Pay, Bancontact, Belfius Pay and Swish for crypto purchases on its website and in its app. - The rollout covers Italy, Belgium and Sweden. - The new methods are now available to buy any of the 90+ crypto assets listed on Paybis. - Paybis expects to extend the methods to on-ramp partners after an initial testing period.

The details: - Bancomat Pay is now available in Italy for customers buying crypto on Paybis. - Bancomat Pay has 11.5 million registered users in Italy. - PagoBANCOMAT cardholders whose bank account is linked to their phone number can choose Bancomat Pay at checkout and authorize the payment from their bank app or the BANCOMAT Pay app. - Bancomat Pay does not require a card number at checkout. - The single-payment limit for Bancomat Pay is up to €889,400, depending on the asset. - Bancontact is now available in Belgium for crypto purchases on Paybis. - Bancontact has 18 million cards in circulation in Belgium and 2 million active app users. - Customers can pay with the Bancontact app, by app link or QR code, or by entering a Bancontact card at checkout. - Bancontact payments are protected by 3-D Secure and confirmed immediately. - The single-payment limit for Bancontact is up to €1,500, depending on the asset. - Belfius Pay is now available in Belgium for Paybis customers. - Belfius Pay has more than 2.2 million users. - Belfius customers authorize a direct transfer from Belfius online banking or the Belfius app, and the crypto lands in their wallet. - The single-payment limit for Belfius Pay is up to €50,000, depending on the asset. - Swish is now available in Sweden for crypto purchases on Paybis. - Swish has 8.8 million users in Sweden. - Customers choose Swish at checkout and confirm the payment in the Swish app, which is linked to their mobile number and bank account. - Swish does not require card details or a wait for transfer settlement. - The single-payment limit for Swish is up to 115,000 SEK, depending on the asset. - Purchases start from as little as €5, depending on the coin. - Each payment method shows its own limit before the customer confirms the purchase. - Each payment method also shows the full price before checkout is completed. - Cards and bank transfers remain available. - Paybis supports more than 30 ways to pay, including 13 local payment methods rolling out market by market.

Between the lines: - The rollout reflects a broader shift toward local payment rails in Europe, where customers often prefer bank-linked or mobile-first checkout flows over card entry. - Paybis is positioning itself as a crypto on-ramp that adapts to country-specific payment habits instead of pushing one standard checkout model. - The company’s emphasis on clear pricing and method-specific limits suggests a focus on reducing abandonment during checkout. - Paybis CEO and Founder Innokenty Isers said Europe does not pay one way and that Paybis wants to reflect that market by market.

What's next: - Paybis plans to extend the four payment methods to its on-ramp partners after testing. - The company is continuing a country-by-country rollout of local payment methods, including iDEAL in the Netherlands, BLIK in Poland, Multibanco in Portugal and EPS in Austria. - Paybis says support is staffed by real people around the clock. - Payment-method availability varies by country, currency and customer eligibility.

The bottom line: - Paybis is expanding crypto access in three European markets by giving customers the local payment methods they already trust, with lower checkout friction and broader payment choice.
