Features & Offering

Verdict
In our overall rating Revolut leads with 4.3 against 2.5 for BISON.
On disclosed fees you pay €2.40 less at BISON per €1,000 purchase.
For most investors Revolut is therefore the better choice.
BISON is the crypto app of Börse Stuttgart and is perceived in the DACH region as a provider with a traditional capital markets background. Crypto custody is handled by Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody GmbH, which is regulated by BaFin. With 26 tradable coins, the selection is clearly limited compared with specialized crypto exchanges.
As one of the few offerings among German brokers, BISON allows free wallet transfers to your own wallets. Staking, savings plans, and an integrated tax report are also available. Deposits are possible via SEPA, instant bank transfer, and credit card.
The trading fees of 1.25 % are in the upper range of the brokers compared and are occasionally criticized by users. The exclusively SMS-based 2FA and the processing time for wallet transfers of up to 24 hours are also seen as room for improvement. Overall, BISON is aimed at investors who prefer an established German provider and are willing to accept trade-offs in fees and coin selection.
Revolut is considered one of the most versatile financial apps in the DACH region and is popular with users who want to manage crypto, banking, card payments, and currency exchange in a single application. With more than 300 tradeable cryptocurrencies, Revolut offers by far the broadest coin selection among the brokers compared here. The crypto business sits with the Cypriot entity Revolut Digital Assets (Europe) Ltd., which has held licence CASP001/25 in the CySEC MiCAR register since 20 October 2025. The entity previously named here, RT Digital Securities Cyprus Ltd., is no longer listed there.
Unlike many German neobrokers, Revolut enables both wallet transfers to external wallets and staking and recurring investments. Biometric verification for withdrawals is viewed positively as an additional security feature. Deposits are possible via SEPA, SEPA Instant Transfer, and credit card, which increases flexibility.
Costs call for caution: Revolut advertises exchange fees “from 0 %”, but the small print on the same page states that the fee depends on the plan and the trading volume, and that exchange-rate and subscription fees apply on top. No standard fee is given, neither on the crypto page nor in the fee schedule. Anyone who wants to know the total cost has to work it out for their own plan and their own order size. Revolut is therefore especially suitable for investors looking for a wide selection of coins with wallet functionality in an all-in-one financial app.
