“Can a regulated crypto trading platform backed by a traditional securities exchange become the trusted digital asset gateway for retail investors across Europe and beyond?”
Founded in 2019 as part of Boerse Stuttgart Group — Germany's second-largest stock exchange — BISON was designed to bring regulated retail crypto trading to mainstream consumers, leveraging the Group's 160+ years of financial expertise. Starting in German-speaking markets, BISON expanded to 72 countries with over 1 million active users. The platform has progressively built out its banking infrastructure, shifting from a single banking partner (Solarisbank) to a multi-banking model that added Deutsche Bank in 2025, signalling a maturation of its embedded finance strategy and reduced dependency on a single BaaS provider.
Bison App discloses Solarisbank as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Bison App does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Solarisbank.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Bison App's stack: Banking / BaaS (Solarisbank); Sponsor bank (Solarisbank).
Bison App is founded in 2019 and headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany.
