Crypterium changes the perception that crypotcurrencies are only assets and not currencies by enabling its users to transfer crypto directly to bank accounts opening the door to many new use cases. Wherever IBAN bank transfers are accepted as a method of payment, you can now pay with cryptocurrencies through the Crypterium App.
âBusinesses are still reluctant to accept cryptocurrency. It doesnât matter what the value of Bitcoin is, you simply couldnât use it to pay your mortgage, or buy something on eBay, or pay your student loans. Thatâs something weâre trying to overcomeâ
says Marc OâBrien CEO of Crypterium.
âWith our app, users can pay with crypto for a variety of goods and services, replenish their PayPal wallets or spend their coins at any platforms that accept bank transfers as a payment methodâ
â he adds.
This new Crypterium feature allows you to use crypto to pay for a diverse range of bills and loans. These include your mortgage payments, loan repayments, utility bills, taxes, and supplier payments. Once you send crypto, the bank or merchant will receive funds in the currency of their choice. Crypterium takes care of all the conversions.
âCryptocurrencies will become the next mainstream payment solution within the next decadeâ,
a study from the Imperial College of London argues.
âIn 5 years, buying your cup of coffee with Bitcoin and shopping abroad with your favorite coins and tokens will be a commonplaceâ
â OâBrien believes, and it is this belief that drives Crypterium to continue to break down barriers.
âDespite the growing interest towards crypto, there have always been a lot of unknowns holding regular people from using it. For example, high transaction fees, complex and sometimes suspicious exchanges, lack of use cases⊠the list goes on and on,â
he explains.
âCrypterium is addressing those unknowns and is moving forward to bring cryptocurrencies to the masses by developing simple but effective crypto solutions for everyday lifeâ.
The company is partnering with banks to issue cards, (both virtual and physical) that will be linked to usersâ cryptocurrency accounts.
Crypteriumâs goal is to make it easy to pay with cryptocurrencies in everyday situations at any of the worldâs 42 million NFC terminals by scanning QR codes or doing an online transaction. While the card solution its estimated to go live at the beginning of 2019, the app already allows its users to top up their mobile phones with crypto, buy Steam and Skype vouchers and make direct IBAN payments.
âMaking people confident they can use bitcoin, ether and other popular currencies across millions of payment terminals globally is a necessary step for crypto to become the ânew moneyââ
OâBrien sums up.
