RLB NÖ-Wien will leverage Bitpanda’s Investment as a Service (IaaS) offering to provide a range of cryptocurrency services, including exchange-traded funds, precious metals, commodities, and stocks, as investment alternatives to its customers. This will allow clients to invest in a variety of assets, regardless of their available capital, with investments as low as one euro. <img src="https://cdn.bitpanda.com/media/uploaded-files/1682431605268.png" alt="">Eric Demuth(left), co-founder and CEO of Bitpanda, and Michael Höllerer (right), general manager of Raiffeisenlandesbank Nö-Wien.
