Why look for a Coinhouse alternative?
Coinhouse — formerly La Maison du Bitcoin — has been in Paris since 2014 and was the first platform to obtain PSAN registration from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) in 2020 (E2020-001). In May 2026 it received MiCA PSCA accreditation (ref. A2026-013), covering custody, exchange, execution, advice and portfolio management — broad scope for the French investor who values regulated guidance, not just a buy button. Its premium model — Investor and Private Management subscriptions — reflects that advice orientation rather than a Pro exchange geared to the autonomous trader.
With Coinhouse and Bit2Me under the same European regulation, the question for operating in euros in Europe stops being “is it regulated?” and becomes “who supervises me in my language, what does it really cost to trade and how deep a product suite do I need?”. This guide compares public data — fees published on coinhouse.com/frequent-questions, premium services and catalogue — without dismissing the French benchmark.
Why so many people doubt Coinhouse
AMF in France, not CNMV in Spain
Coinhouse SAS is MiCA-accredited via the AMF. Legal in the EU, but far from the supervisor and language of someone operating in Europe.
0.69%–1.49% on purchase, no Pro maker/taker table
Coinhouse publishes fees by payment type (euro account 0.69%, card 1.49%). Bit2Me Pro goes down to 0% / 0.10% on liquid pairs.
Premium advice, narrower catalogue than 400+ assets
Coinhouse excels at advised management and Investor/Private subscriptions. Integrated crypto Card, Loan and Tax are not part of its standard menu.

These records do not rule out the competitor being suitable in other contexts; they are part of the due diligence worth doing before depositing funds.
Verdict
Coinhouse SAS is a pioneer in France: first PSAN in 2020, now MiCA PSCA (A2026-013) since May 2026, with custody, advice and portfolio management. It is a serious platform for the French investor who values proximity to the AMF. Bit2Me shares MiCA with direct CNMV authorisation in Spain, 400+ cryptocurrencies, Pro with maker/taker, Earn, Card, Loan, Tax and Without chat-only: multilingual support and French. If you operate from France and want the local specialist, Coinhouse fits; if you want the broadest MiCA crypto suite with Spanish roots and SEPA, Bit2Me is the alternative.

Coinhouse SAS under the AMF: what contracting with France’s PSAN pioneer means
When a European client opens a Coinhouse account, they contract with Coinhouse SAS, a Paris entity MiCA-authorised by the AMF (ref. A2026-013, May 2026) after being France’s first PSAN in 2020 (E2020-001). It provides custody, exchange, execution, advice and portfolio management — a profile geared to the French investor who values regulated guidance, not just execution. The European passport allows serving Spain; the supervisor of reference remains the French one, and formal claims follow the Paris–AMF circuit, not your domestic market’s CNMV if you operate in Europe.
Bit2Me shares MiCA with direct authorisation in Europe’s CNMV, active since 2014 and previously registered with the Bank of Spain. Against Coinhouse’s Paris–AMF circuit, here you contract, file claims and are supervised in the Iberian market — with Without chat-only: multilingual support and French. On MiCA guarantees, a technical tie; on proximity to your supervisor and regulatory language, the one at home wins.
Coinhouse professional liability insurance and custody under AMF supervision
Coinhouse publishes on coinhouse.com/security-compliance its PSAN/VASP registration, AML system and professional civil liability insurance (MMA IARD, contract no. 147 019 715) under RGAMF article 721-5 — a sign of regulated maturity in France, not an offshore exchange. Deposit and custody are free per its FAQ; custody lives under the AMF framework with MiCA segregation duties, not as an unsupervised standalone product. The nuance for comparison: it meets the French standard rigorously; it does not publish a single dedicated crypto custody insurance figure comparable to the policy Bit2Me highlights on Custody.
Bit2Me adds mostly cold storage, a $150 million Custody policy, no security incidents since 2014 and five consecutive ISO audits. Both houses meet MiCA; Bit2Me’s operational transparency includes audited custody figures published for years. If your yardstick is French professional liability insurance, Coinhouse delivers; if it is custody coverage with a published figure and verifiable operational track record, the comparison crosses the street — without dismissing the Paris house’s AMF compliance.
Coinhouse fee grid: 0.69% euro account, 1.49% card and premium subscriptions
Coinhouse publishes a clear table on coinhouse.com/frequent-questions: euro account purchase 0.69%, card or recurring purchase 1.49%, sale 1.09%, crypto–crypto conversion 0.69%, external withdrawal network + 0.29% (max €500). Deposit and custody free; €0.12 minimum per trade. It is a simple retail model — no Pro maker/taker table — complemented by Investor (€106.8/year) and Private Management (€732/year) subscriptions that cut fees and add advice. For an investor buying €500 per month via euro account, the annual bill is roughly 4.14% accumulated on entry fees alone — before counting sales or conversions.
Bit2Me Pro competes with up to 0% maker / 0.10% taker on liquid pairs and free SEPA deposits. Calculator in hand, moving €1,000 at Coinhouse’s 0.69% costs €6.90; at Pro’s 0.10%, €1. Coinhouse wins if you value advised management and accept an annual subscription; Bit2Me wins if you trade autonomously on Pro with no monthly fee or a simple-buy-only fee sheet.

Coinhouse advice in French vs Bit2Me Without chat-only: multilingual support
Coinhouse support is sized for its francophone client: help centre, digital channels and guidance within its advice and portfolio-management services. That fits a Paris house selling regulated advice — not a generic call centre. A highlighted phone line for Iberian banking incidents is not advertised as a strength on its standard site.
Bit2Me answers with multilingual phone assistance, a European team that knows SEPA transfers, Iberian banking rails and CNMV rules. Against Coinhouse’s digital funnel, here the particular — a held transfer, a wallet withdrawal, a tax question on altcoins — gets solved out loud. For routine queries both deliver; the day something goes wrong with four figures at stake, explaining it in your language tips the scales.
Who is Coinhouse for, and who is Bit2Me for?
Coinhouse fits the French — or francophone — investor who values AMF advice, advised portfolio management and Investor/Private subscriptions with fee benefits; its catalogue is curated for that market and integrated crypto Card, Loan and Tax are not part of its standard menu. Bit2Me serves the European who operates in euros autonomously: Pro, Earn, Card, Loan, Tax and over 400 cryptocurrencies under the CNMV — a full suite when your strategy outgrows simple buying. Let’s be fair: if you live in France and want AMF proximity, Coinhouse is legitimate; if you seek direct CNMV, free SEPA and multilingual phone support, the choice tilts toward Bit2Me without dismissing the Paris MiCA licence.
What switching from Coinhouse to Bit2Me really costs
Withdrawing crypto from Coinhouse includes the network fee plus 0.29% (max €500) per its FAQ on coinhouse.com/frequent-questions. Selling to euros may crystallise gains depending on your tax situation — pick the route with that nuance in view. Sending a small amount first to verify address and network remains sensible practice; selling to fiat is not equivalent to moving crypto as-is between your own accounts.
The arrival leg costs nothing: free Bit2Me account, SEPA deposit with no fee and published Pro rates up to 0% maker / 0.10% taker on liquid pairs. If any doubt comes up, you solve it by multilingual phone — without depending on Coinhouse’s digital funnel. You do not need to close Coinhouse on day one to try Bit2Me in parallel.

Conclusion
Coinhouse is a serious French benchmark: first PSAN, AMF MiCA PSCA and advice focus. If you value AMF proximity and advised management, it is a legitimate choice. If you operate operating in euros in Europe or want a broader crypto suite — Pro, Card, Loan, Tax, 400+ assets — with CNMV and Without chat-only: multilingual support, Bit2Me is the Coinhouse alternative for the euro-Hispanic investor. Opening an account is free and takes minutes.
