Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept International bank transfer in French Polynesia?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in French Polynesia, Coinmama, Binance, Kraken accept International bank transfer for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with International bank transfer legal in French Polynesia?

Bitcoin is legal in French Polynesia. The territory is a French overseas collectivity, so France's monetary and financial framework applies in adapted form: the IEOM issues the euro-pegged CFP franc, and French supervision of crypto asset service providers rests with the AMF under the EU's MiCA framework as extended by Paris. No platform is licensed in the territory itself, so residents rely on exchanges authorized elsewhere.
