Guides
- How to Buy Crypto With a Bank Transfer (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, Wire)
Buying crypto with a bank transfer means moving currency from your bank into your exchange account over a domestic payment rail and then placing the order from the cash balance, which is normally the cheapest way to fund an account and differs from card funding mainly in speed and in the withdrawal holds that follow.
- Crypto Tax in Germany: The One-Year Rule and Everything Around It
Germany taxes privately held crypto as a private sale transaction under section 23 of the Einkommensteuergesetz, which means a gain is taxable only where less than one year passed between acquisition and disposal, and even then stays free of tax if your total private sale gains for the calendar year came to less than 1,000 euros.
- Buying Crypto With PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
Apple Pay and Google Pay are wrappers around a card you already hold, so on an exchange they are priced and treated exactly like a card deposit, while PayPal is a separate funding method with its own availability and its own fees, and all three settle instantly and then sit under a withdrawal hold.
