How to buy crypto with Trustly on Switchere
Why buy crypto with Trustly on Switchere
No new account, no new password
Trustly is not an e-wallet. There is nothing to register and no balance to top up - the payment moves from your existing bank account using the bank's own login. If you already use online banking, you can already use Trustly.
Skip the card-issuer guesswork
A direct bank payment never touches your card or your card network. Issuers that flag crypto-related charges on a card swipe never see the order. The bank sees a normal outgoing transfer; the platform sees an inbound payment via Trustly.
Bank-to-bank in seconds
Trustly runs on regulated open-banking rails and routes through instant payment schemes where the underlying bank supports them. On supported banks the funds land in seconds, which means the crypto follows in the same window.
Live rates, transparent fees
The exchange rate, the service fee, and the final crypto amount are shown on the confirmation screen before the Trustly redirect. No hidden spreads, no surprise deductions on the platform side.
Buy crypto with Trustly from your phone
The Switchere mobile app handles the Trustly handoff cleanly. Place the order, pick your bank, log in with biometric or your usual mobile-banking credentials, and watch the order status update in real time without bouncing between apps.
Same converter, same coin list, same loyalty discounts as the web version - finished by a single bank authorization. No IBAN typing, no copy-paste of reference codes.
Live rates and order status are always one tap away, so you can decide and act when the market gives you a window.
Frequently asked questions
-
Can I buy crypto with Trustly on Switchere?
Yes. Trustly is supported as a payment method for crypto purchases in countries where Trustly operates. You do not need a Trustly account - you only need online banking enabled with a bank that Trustly supports in your country. -
Do I need to register with Trustly?
No. Trustly is an open-banking payment provider, not an e-wallet. The payment is authorized inside your own bank's login flow and the money moves directly from your bank account. There is no Trustly balance, no Trustly password, no separate account to maintain. -
Why use Trustly instead of a card?
A card payment routes through the card network and your card issuer, which is where most crypto-related declines happen. Trustly bypasses that entire leg by moving money straight bank-to-bank. It is also faster than a manual SEPA transfer because there is no IBAN to paste, no reference code to keep correct, and on supported banks the transfer is instant. -
Why use Trustly instead of SEPA?
SEPA works fine for larger orders, but it asks you to copy an IBAN, paste a one-time reference code, and authorize the transfer manually in your bank app. Trustly skips all of that - the amount, recipient, and reference are pre-filled inside your bank login flow and you only need to approve. For most retail-sized orders, Trustly is the faster path. -
How long does the order take?
The bank authorization is processed in seconds on most supported banks. After the platform receives the payment, it broadcasts the crypto transfer to the network - delivery to your wallet depends on the destination chain. Bitcoin typically takes 10-30 minutes during normal load, while networks like Tron or Polygon settle in under a minute. -
What does it cost?
The platform service fee plus the live exchange rate, both shown before the Trustly redirect. Loyalty members earn up to 45% off the platform service fee on qualifying orders. Trustly itself does not charge the payer a fee on most consumer flows; check inside your bank app if your bank applies its own outgoing-transfer fee, which is uncommon for domestic euro payments.
