Bitget Wallet Launches Virtual Accounts for USD and EUR Salaries Without Local Banks

Bitget Wallet has introduced a Virtual Account feature that enables users to receive USD and EUR salaries without needing a local bank account. The service, launched on October 27, 2026, provides personal account numbers for both US dollars and euros through licensed payments firm Noah.

Users can receive funds via ACH, Fedwire, SEPA, and SWIFT transfers, which are then automatically converted into stablecoins within the self-custodial crypto wallet. This integration allows for seamless management of international currencies within a crypto-native environment.

The Cryptonomist and Unchained both report that the accounts are free to open, though outbound transfers are not yet supported. The Cryptonomist highlights the potential for this feature to bypass traditional banking systems, while Unchained focuses on the technical specifications of the supported transfer methods.

This development comes at a time when the total crypto market cap stands at $2.76 trillion, with the overall market showing a flat trend. Bitcoin has seen a modest 24-hour increase of 0.19%, and the Fear & Greed index is at 48, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The introduction of such features could lower barriers to entry for individuals in countries with limited access to traditional banking services, potentially driving further adoption of cryptocurrencies. Users will likely watch for the rollout of outbound transfer capabilities and the addition of more currency options in the future.
