merchant and PSP ecosystems.

Founded and staffed by a team of ex-Visa and ex-CyberSource payment professionals, Bitnet allows merchants to set prices in local currency, accept bitcoin payments from consumers, and settle the transaction in the merchant’s currency of choice.

Bitnet guarantees payment within seconds with their unique Instant Approval service, preserving the typical merchant checkout flow that is designed for card acceptance, and therefore simplifying implementation.

This is in keeping with PAY.ON’s mission to remove the complexity from payments and streamline cross-border e-commerce. Merchants additionally benefit from offering a digital payment method that expands their business to a new customer base, generating a new revenue stream without significant implementation costs.

“PAY.ON and Bitnet have built robust, industry-leading payment processing technology based on the same fundamental principles,” said Markus Rinderer, CEO and Founder at PAY.ON.

“Flexibility, scalability, and security are delivered through RESTful APIs, making bitcoin acceptance simple for our network of payment service providers and their merchants. Enabling cross-border e-commerce has always been a core part of PAY.ON’s offering, so we are delighted to be partnering with Bitnet to further strengthen the global payment options available through our platform.”
