Common questions

Who regulates Openbank in the EU?

Openbank has a current MiCA register entry with no separate legal-route classification in our curated entry in Spain, dated Jul 2025. CNMV supervises the entry. The registered entity is OPEN BANK S.A. The ESMA register is the source of truth for the current entity and service scope.

Can Openbank serve customers across the whole EEA?

ESMA's register lists 1 host member state for the services in Openbank's home entry. The list records notifications to host regulators. It is not evidence that every service is live in each country, so check the contracting entity for your country.

Does MiCA protect my funds on Openbank?

MiCA applies conduct and disclosure rules to the registered EEA entity for the recorded service. Safeguarding duties depend on which service and entity hold client crypto-assets or funds. Article 75 covers custody liability for attributable loss and caps that liability. MiCA does not provide a deposit guarantee, and crypto-assets can lose value.

How do I verify Openbank's licence myself?

Search the official ESMA CASP register for OPEN BANK S.A. National regulators update the records each week. Use the official register as the authoritative source.
