Pocket Bitcoin

Exchanges

Pocket Bitcoin is a Swiss-based Bitcoin-only buying service designed for simplicity and non-custodial direct purchases. Users receive Bitcoin directly to their own wallet address — Pocket never holds funds. It supports bank transfers, TWINT, and integrates with most major hardware and software wallets. Pocket is popular in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) for DCA Bitcoin purchases and was awarded the Relai-like simplicity for Bitcoin-first buyers wanting withdrawal directly to self-custody without setting up an exchange account.
