Frontnode is a regulated European Bitcoin exchange that lets you buy, sell, store, and send Bitcoin in a simple and secure way. We focus only on Bitcoin, not other cryptocurrencies, so we can keep the experience clear and easy to trust.
Most platforms spread themselves across hundreds of coins. We chose to focus on Bitcoin alone because it is the most established, most secure, and most trusted form of digital money. By doing one thing well, we keep Frontnode simple, safe, and reliable.
Frontnode is built for everyday people, especially beginners who want a straightforward way into Bitcoin. You do not need any technical knowledge to get started, whether you are buying your very first Bitcoin or you have owned it for years.
Frontnode is operated by Quickbyte Global OÜ, a company based in Tallinn, Estonia, and supervised by the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit. We serve customers across Europe under clear EU rules.
Creating an account takes only a few minutes. You sign up with your email, verify your identity with a quick check, and your account is ready. From there you can buy, sell, store, and send Bitcoin straight away.
Identity checks keep everyone safe and are required by the rules we follow as a regulated exchange. They help prevent fraud and protect your account from anyone trying to use it without permission. The process is quick and only needs to be done once.
For most people the whole process takes just a few minutes. Once your identity is verified, you can make your first Bitcoin purchase right away using your card or a bank transfer.
You can buy Bitcoin on Frontnode with your debit card, credit card, or a bank transfer. Just choose how much you want, confirm the payment, and your Bitcoin appears in your wallet within minutes. You can start with as little as 20 euros.
Not at all. We built Frontnode so that buying Bitcoin feels as simple as any online purchase. You do not need any technical knowledge, and every step is clearly explained as you go.
Your Bitcoin lands in your Frontnode wallet straight away. From there the choice is yours. You can hold it as a long term investment, send it to someone else, keep it safely on the platform, or move it to your own private wallet.
Selling is just as easy as buying. You log in, choose how much Bitcoin you want to sell, confirm the sale, and receive cash back to your connected payment method. You can sell part of your Bitcoin or all of it, whenever you like.
In most cases the sale is processed quickly and your funds are sent to your connected payment method shortly after. The exact timing can depend on your bank or card provider.

Bitcoin itself is decentralized, but the platform you use to access it should never feel risky or unclear. Strong compliance means your money and your data are handled properly, and that you are dealing with a serious, accountable company rather than an anonymous service.
Bitcoin is digital money that runs on the internet without any bank or government in charge. It launched in 2009, and there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin, which is a big part of why people value it. You can buy it, hold it, send it, and store it.
People buy Bitcoin for different reasons. Some see it as a long term way to save, since its supply is limited. Others like being able to send money anywhere in the world quickly, or simply want to own a piece of a new kind of money.
