Stephen Pair, CEO of Bitpay made a statement on this collaboration saying “Verifone customers are requesting to have crypto payments. This has become the case as there are millions of crypto users today that have blockchain wallets on their phones that they want to leverage.”
Verifone and Bitpay collaboration will allow people to make payments in crypto for their bills. This is possible only in U.S. retail stores that have Verifone point-of-sale pin pads.
With the help of Verifone point-of-sale pin pads, the customers can now select the wallet to scan the QR code and make crypto payments at stores.
Along with in-store pin pads, Verifone has also enabled crypto transactions on Verifone’s eCommerce Cloud Services systems. It’s a great initiative by Verifone and Bitpay as people without Bitpay accounts can also transact in crypto.
All major wallets will be supported, including metamask and blockchin.com. Payments will be accepted for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, five other stablecoins, and even Wrapped Bitcoin.
CEO of Verifone, Mike Pulli said “We feel that having crypto available on our terminals will open up more options and opportunities for consumers, which is what Verifone aims to do. This opens up a currency that has never before been seen on a terminal and we want to be at the forefront of this trend.”
