Our verdict
Criptan is a custodial exchange for businesses that want trading, a euro card and a mobile wallet under one regulated roof. The operation is registered in Spain, and a coin list of 30 keeps the selection tight, so traders who need deeper liquidity will look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Regulated by CNMV, Banco de España and Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), with a Banco de España licence D646 and a MiCA CASP licence MiCA CASP 959800AZN23P7F30C189.
- Fiat deposits run through card, bank and sepa, giving several ways to top up a business account.
- The debit card pays cashback of 1% on the mastercard network, with a mobile wallet alongside.
Cons
- Coin coverage of 30 sits below the 74.5 most listed exchanges carry.
- Custody is custodial, so the exchange holds the coins rather than each account holder.
- Open source is no, so the software behind the app stays closed.
Who it suits
- Businesses moving money in euros, since the audience is business and funding runs through card, bank and sepa.
- Readers who want the exchange, the card and the wallet in one app rather than across several providers.
- Anyone comfortable with a Spanish regulated entity, CRIPTAN TRADE S.L., trading as an cex.
Who should look elsewhere
- Self-custody seekers: custody here is custodial, so bunq is the alternative to compare on holding arrangements.
- Traders who expect larger costs: bunq's taker fees are 0.25% to 1.99% against 0.15% to 0.99% here.
- Card spenders who convert often: conversion runs at 1.75% to 2%, above the 0.15% typical for listed exchanges, so Vivid Plus is the one to weigh.
Deposit protection
Spain's supervisors are the ones named here: CNMV, Banco de España and Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV). The Banco de España entry carries licence D646, and the markets regulator entry carries MiCA CASP licence MiCA CASP 959800AZN23P7F30C189. Those registrations put the operation inside Spain's regulated perimeter for crypto services.
The company behind it
The legal entity is CRIPTAN TRADE S.L., headquartered in Spain and founded in 2018. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so questions are handled in writing or in-app rather than by phone. The Banco de España licence D646 and MiCA CASP licence MiCA CASP 959800AZN23P7F30C189 attach to this entity.

Frequently asked questions

Is the card free, and what does it pay back?+
The card carries a monthly fee of €0 and pays cashback of 1% on the debit card, mastercard network. Currency conversion is the cost to watch, at 1.75% to 2%, well above the 0.15% typical for listed exchanges.
How do I put euros in?+
Fiat deposits run through card, bank and sepa, so funding covers card, bank transfer and SEPA routes. The stated audience is business, so the account is set up for company money. A coin list of 30 keeps the range narrow, and tiers apply as volume builds.
What do withdrawals cost?+
Euro withdrawals carry a flat fee at the entry level and are free once an account reaches the top levels. Crypto withdrawals take a share of the blockchain fee, and those are free at the top levels too. Buying and selling is charged at 0.15% to 0.99%, the cost to plan around.
Who regulates Criptan?+
The regulators named are CNMV, Banco de España and Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV). The Banco de España entry carries licence D646, and the Spanish markets regulator entry carries MiCA CASP licence MiCA CASP 959800AZN23P7F30C189. Supervision sits in Spain, where CRIPTAN TRADE S.L. is registered.
How many coins can I trade?+
The exchange lists 30 coins and the wallet supports from 30. That sits under the 74.5 most listed exchanges carry, so traders after a long tail of small-cap tokens will not find it here.
Do I hold the keys to my coins?+
Custody is custodial and the venue is an cex, so the platform holds the coins rather than each account holder. The wallet is mobile and costs €0, and open source is no, so the code stays closed. Self-custody means moving assets off the platform.
