How to buy Etherium in Estonia
with a Swedbank card
«Swedbank AS» is the largest bank in Estonia, focused on developing a financial literacy and supporting an entrepreneurship in the country. «Swedbank AS» doesn’t work with the accounts of digital currency — this situation will continue until the unification of legislation regarding cryptocurrency takes place in Estonia.
Even though a client can’t take a support from the bank in opening an account, it’s still possible to purchase cryptocurrency using a «Swedbank AS card» — you need to have a bank card belonging to MasterCard or Visa payment systems. The presence of such a card and cooperation with the bank guarantee customers safe transactions and no-hidden commissions.
Itez allows you to buy Ethereum from a debit or credit bank card for euros, dollars, rubles and other national currency. Any world standard cards are suitable for purchase – real and virtual Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, as well as Google Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.
Itez is an instant ethereum purchase resource. Itez is a certified operator holding a license to sell and store cryptocurrencies of a financial regulator from Estonia. What does this give to customers?
First of all it is safety, since the operator is fully responsible for the risks. He conducts a compliance check, provides cryptocurrency on time and is always in touch with customers, if the need arises. Secondly, it`s efficient. The time of receipt of Ethereum to the client's account is no more than a minute. Thirdly, the service offers to customers a favorable exchange rate. Rate changes occur in accordance with the liquidity provider's information, therefore, the ETH value on the Itez website is as close as possible to the market value. The site has no hidden fees as the final ETH value is displayed instantly. If the purchase price does not exceed € 300, then the buyer does not need verification.
In order to buy Ethereum, it is not necessary to register on the Itez website. In a handy calculator, you can quickly calculate the cost of ETH based on the amount you plan to use for payment. The smallest purchase amount in dollar terms is 30 USD. By the way, the same applies to the euro - the starting purchase threshold starts at €50. Well, in our instructions, as promised, we will go through all the stages of purchase ETH for dollars step by step.

Specify the purchase amount in the Itez dialog box. Copy the recipient address - your Ethereum wallet - from the “Accept” section.

The largest part of the Estonian banking system is divided between two Swedish banks: SEB Pank AS and Swedbank AS. The number of local banks is not as large as that of neighboring Lithuania and Latvia. The most widely used are Krediidipank, Tallinna Äripank, Sampo Pank and Marfin Pank. All of these financial institutions provide a full range of banking services to both residents of the country and foreign citizens and organizations at a high-quality technical level. Estonia's banks are among the most stable in Europe, and the country's economy is interested in attracting investors (both local and foreign), for this there is even a special guarantee fund that ensures the safety of investments.
Both the purchase of Ethereum and its storage process require a high level of security. For this purpose, special cryptocurrency wallets have been created: they protect the decentralized currency using a multi-stage system that includes a password, a seed phrase and a message with a code to your mobile phone. You can get acquainted with the list of crypto wallets for storing Ether here: ethereum.org/wallets.
