Swipe is one of the popular platforms allowing transactions through cryptocurrency Visa Cards. This partnership providing convenient opportunities to crypto users was announced on May 1. The collaboration enables the users to facilitate such payments through Samsung Pay-enabled devices.

This is because Swipe cardholders in the United Kingdom and the European Union can facilitate transactions to around 50 Million global locations. And hence, this is possible by using the available balance in their respective crypto-accounts.

In fact, the integration process started to take phase once Visa approved the firm with respect to a digital card program. In addition to their physical card program a few months back. From the very moment of approval, the integration process continued to take shape. Kenneth added that they are planning to take benefit from Samsung’s user base, which has educated its users through its blockchain initiatives. Thus this will result in impacting the user base of Swipe directly.

The need of the hour

This, according to Kenneth, will be a perfect opportunity for digital payment platforms like Google Pay and Samsung Pay to outshine conventional payment methods.

Besides him, Loselito Lizarondo, Swipe’s CEO, remarked that in these times digital solutions will come in handy to clients’ needs. As common people are deviating from physical assets like cash.

As this could be the event determining the potential of the platform on a global basis.
