Island nations are getting into digital currencies

It’s safe to say there is genuine excitement in accepting crypto payments. Merchants are seeing the advantages that cryptocurrencies bring, like super fast and secure payments that take just milliseconds.

Check out how easy it is to pay with Bitcoin Cash.

Furthermore, GoCrypto offers the lowest transaction fees. You can receive the settlement in fiat (traditional) currency — or crypto; in the last case, you can withdraw crypto payouts (BCH, BTC, ETH, GoC, LTC, XTZ or VIB) from your account at any point.

The fast crypto adoption by merchants in this picturesque part of the Caribbean was also covered by bitcoin.com news:

Contactless payments

Minimum physical contact and keeping a safety distance are top priorities at physical stores. So it is no surprise that digital currencies have become more prominent on these islands during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At GoCrypto locations, shoppers can use Elly and the Bitcoin.com Wallet; they enable you to pay by scanning the purchase QR code without even touching the merchant’s terminal as the transaction confirmation is made on your phone.

Using cryptocurrencies is highly practical for tourists as there is no need for a trip to the exchange office.

So, how about you? Do you want to accept crypto at your store? Open your free account today!
