American cryptocurrency payment startup BitPay announced that users of prepaid Mastercard cards can now use their Apple smartphones to pay for purchases with cryptocurrencies.
BitPay supports BTC, ETH, BCH, and several stablecoins, and these cryptocurrencies can now be paid using Apple Pay. This is a very important step, because Apple’s payment service is supported in the vast majority of points of sale. At the moment, about 5% of the total number of purchases is made in the United States through Apple Pay, and the number of users of the service exceeds 380 million people around the world.
“With Apple Pay, BitPay cardholders will be able to make secure purchases in stores, apps and online platforms. In addition, now you can not wait for the delivery of a plastic card, but add a virtual card to Apple Pay and pay for goods, “- emphasized in a statement BitPay.
Recall that in early December last year, BitPay filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the United States of America (OCC) to register a national bank in Georgia, USA. In the near future, the cryptocurrency payments startup hopes to add support for Android smartphones through Samsung Pay and Google Pay.
