France is one of the most active European markets for digital assets. Whether it's long-term holding, yield farming, or using crypto to earn cashback, French users are increasingly looking for ways to use their crypto, not just hold it.
But until now, spending crypto in France meant jumping through hoops: converting to fiat, waiting for bank transfers, dealing with fees, and losing precious time. That stops today.
With Bando, users can make purchases directly in their preferred tokens and more across 10+ chains. No bridges, no swaps, no banking layer.
We’ve integrated products and services that matter to people living in France from global services to daily essentials. With Bando, you can now:
✅ Recharge mobile
✅ Buy gift cards for Decathlon, IKEA and more
✅ Pay for apps in the Apple app store
✅ Top up gaming platforms and entertainment subscriptions like Steam or Netflix
Whether you're in Paris, Marseille, or Lyon, your wallet becomes a checkout button, no fiat conversion required.
Bando is not just a consumer tool. Under the hood, it’s an onchain protocol that powers seamless, crypto-native payments through a permissionless escrow system. Wallets and dApps can integrate Bando with minimal effort using our widget or API. The result: users stay onchain, while apps gain new monetization streams up to 17,000% higher margins than swaps.
Launching in France is a major step in our expansion across Europe. The country has a strong Web3 ecosystem, a growing stablecoin user base, and a demand for financial tools that align with privacy, control, and transparency values crypto was built for.
Bando fits right in. It’s fast, borderless, and lets users use their assets, not just store them.
If you live in France and hold crypto, you can now use it for real purchases without ever touching fiat. Bando is live, onchain, and integrated with services that you already use.
