Bulgaria’s Postbank to launch crypto and stock investing in mobile app by early 2027

Two Bulgarian banks converging on the same early-2027 window, both leaning on external platforms rather than building in-house, suggests regulated distribution is becoming the competitive front for retail access to crypto and multi-asset products in the country. Postbank's broader menu — stocks, ETFs, commodities and metals alongside crypto — points to bundling rather than a crypto-only play, which matters for how the offering is framed to mainstream banking customers. The open question is whether this becomes a broader pattern among Bulgarian lenders, and how the partnership model shapes product scope and custody arrangements.
