To celebrate the launch, OKX is offering zero fees on all crypto purchases either made with PayPal or when an OKX account is funded by PayPal for a limited time. This exclusive, one-month campaign is available only to users in the EEA and reflects OKX’s ongoing commitment to reducing barriers to crypto adoption in the region.
This OKX PayPal integration initiative enhances fiat-to-crypto access, giving European crypto buyers a smooth experience.
“Integrating with PayPal is a major step in our mission to make crypto more accessible to everyone,” said Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe. “PayPal is a household name in Europe and beyond, and integrating their trusted payment solutions helps us deliver a seamless experience that meets the evolving needs of our users.”
“PayPal is on a journey of revolutionizing commerce and one way we are doing that is by marrying our belief in choice with access to digital assets,” said Samba Natarajan, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Europe, PayPal. “By integrating PayPal with OKX in EEA, we are expanding where our users can use our familiar, trusted platform to purchase cryptocurrency directly or fund accounts used for purchases of digital currencies throughout the region.”
The integration follows OKX’s recent MiCA registration in Europe, a key regulatory milestone that strengthens its position in the region and supports its long-term strategy to offer regulated, localized digital asset services in key European markets.
With the OKX PayPal Integration, users all over Europe can easily access digital assets thanks to OKX’s growing commitment to payment innovation.
