Banking a crypto or Web3 business in Czechia is harder than banking a typical company. Since the Digital Finance Act took effect on 15 February 2025, crypto asset service providers fall under the European Markets in Crypto Assets framework, known as MiCA, and are supervised by the Czech National Bank, with a transitional period for existing providers running to 1 July 2026. Mainstream banks and digital providers such as Wise and Revolut serve general businesses in Czechia but apply enhanced due diligence to crypto activity and often restrict or decline it, so you should confirm your specific activity before relying on any account. Information as of 5 January 2026, not advice.
What Crypto and Web3 in Czechia need from a business account
Crypto and Web3 businesses in Czechia need a provider that understands the activity and a clear compliance position, because the regulatory bar is high and many banks decline the sector. Since the Digital Finance Act took effect on 15 February 2025, crypto asset service providers operate under the European Markets in Crypto Assets framework, known as MiCA, with the Czech National Bank as the competent authority. Providers offering trading, custody, transfers, or token services need MiCA authorisation, and a transitional period for those that held a Czech trade licence runs to 1 July 2026. Authorisation carries a minimum capital requirement, broadly in the range of EUR 50,000 to EUR 150,000 depending on the services, and detailed anti money laundering and governance controls. As of 5 January 2026.
