Binding Modern Payment Solution, Cryptocurrencies and Merchants In a New Way

Can you imagine the way your life would look like without the multitude of digital payments solutions available now? Just think of the way we do our online shopping ... take a few seconds to recall all the times you paid something with your credit/debit card or even your smartphone, or maybe you have paid a ticket simply by sending a text message. Moreover, during the last months, more businesses all over the world are accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payments for their products or services.

This vast array of payment options can make our life easier, most of the times - as consumers. But from a business point of view, these solutions are not always beneficial: they are often times hard to implement, expensive to operate and maintain, inflexible or inefficient.

A possible solution that can help merchants and businesses in the close future?
