Before accessing the crypto module, we need to conduct a suitability test to assess your financial knowledge and determine the appropriateness of cryptocurrency transactions for you. Once you have answered the questions, we will provide you with the result. It is important that you carefully read the information on the risks of investing in crypto assets before conducting any operations. You can find this information in Circular 1/2022, dated January 10, issued by the National Securities Market Commission. You can consult it using the the following link.

Once you have accessed the module, you will be able to view the following options: Operations Type (Trading & Saving) and Movements.

  • In Portfolio, you will see the amount and cryptocurrencies you have purchased. You can buy or sell the respective cryptocurrency. Additionally, you can view the following details: 

    • The price at the time of access. 

    • The date and value of the purchase or sale at the time of the transaction.

    • The applied commission and the received value.

    • The transaction ID 

    • The variation in value compared to the transaction date.

  • In Popular, you will see the cryptocurrencies that you can acquire through the module.

  • In 24-hour Ups and Downs, you will see the price variations of the different cryptocurrencies supported by the crypto module.

TRADING: Here, you can buy and sell.

Buying process: Select the cryptocurrency you want to acquire, enter the amount in euros you want to buy from the available balance in your BITSA® account, and accept the operation. You can see a summary of your purchase, which will include: 

  • The total amount to be paid in euros.

  • The applied commission.

Selling process: Select the cryptocurrency you want to sell and enter the amount. On the next screen, you will see a summary with:

SAVING: With this option, you can set up recurrent purchases of the chosen cryptocurrency. You can choose the amount, cryptocurrency, periodicity of the purchase order, as well as the start and/or end date of the cryptocurrency purchase order.

Once the recurrent purchase is set up, the orders will be executed according to the specified amount and the selected cryptocurrency until the end date of the orders, unless you have not set a end date. 

If you want to change any element of the recurrent purchase order, you can do so by editing the purchase order. Similarly, you can easily pause the recurrent purchase order.

To use this recurrent purchase tool, you must have a balance in your BITSA® card. If you do not have sufficient balance at the time of executing a recurrent purchase order, we will notify you in advance to reload your BITSA® card so that the configured payment order can be fulfilled. If the recurrent purchase date arrives and you have not reloaded your BITSA® card, we will pause your recurrent purchase order, and you will need to activate a new purchase order to continue the recurrent purchase of cryptocurrencies.

Supported cryptocurrencies.

The crypto module supports the buying and selling of major cryptocurrencies in the market. BITNOVO® is working to support an increasing number of cryptocurrencies and ensure they have all the functionalities. Therefore, you can only operate with the cryptocurrencies supported by the crypto module. We recommend that you review the cryptocurrencies available for buying and selling in the crypto module before proceeding with any transactions.

The provision of the cryptocurrency buying and selling service incurs a commission based on the purchase or sale amount, depending on the BITSA® plan you are subscribed to. You can consult this information in the plans section of our website.

Due to the nature of the service, you must understand and acknowledge that cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible, meaning you cannot cancel or withdraw once a purchase or sale operation has been completed. There may be a minimum transaction amount, which will be visible at all times when conducting the operation.

 

4. BITSA® PLANS

To adapt to your needs, we offer you BITSA® PLANS. To enjoy any of them, you just have to choose the one that best suits you and subscribe easily through the configuration section of the app.

More information


Subscription conditions:

Your BITSA® card is linked by default to the FREE PLAN. If you want to upgrade your account, and enjoy the advantages that we offer you through both the MOVE PLAN and the PRO PLAN, you can do so, as mentioned above, through the App’s Configuration Menu.

You can choose between a monthly subscription, or take advantage of our cheaper annual subscription offer. We will charge the amount in question to your BITSA®.Editor card.

You can cancel your subscription at any time, through the section provided for this purpose in the App, but you must bear in mind that:

The cancellation will take effect as of the next monthly or annual payment, depending on the type of subscription you have chosen, which, therefore, we will not charge your BITSA® card, returning you to the FREE Plan.

The subscription will remain valid for the period of time you have paid prior to the cancellation request. This means that BITSA® will not refund the amounts you have paid for the monthly or annual payment in question.

Therefore, if you do not wish to continue with the PLAN to which you have subscribed, you must request cancellation before the end of the monthly or annual payment in question in order to prevent us from charging the subscription fee corresponding to that monthly or annual payment.

You can upgrade your account whenever you want, requesting, as specified, the upgrade to the next PLAN, since with each one you can enjoy greater advantages than with the previous one. In this case, you must take into account that:

You must pay the corresponding monthly or annual subscription fee in full.

The change of Plan will be immediate once said fee has been paid.

You will not be entitled to a refund or compensation for any amounts paid under the previous plan that are still in force.
