Attention Steemians: STEEM <> USD Added to Metal Pay
Hello Steemians, we’re the Metal Pay Team and today we’re excited to announce that we are adding STEEM to our mobile payments app for iOS (with Android to follow in the future). We’ve already published a post to our blog that is geared more for users who are not familiar with Steem, because we want them to get hands-on experience with your blockchain. After speaking with our customers we’ve learned that many of them are new to crypto, and are looking to gain a deeper understanding of this new and exciting technology in ways that fit into their lives.
Real People, Real Apps
We’re always looking for ways to bring new products and services to our users that fit into our vision of making crypto more accessible and useful to everyone. Part of the reason why we’ve decided to make STEEM one of our earliest token additions is that the Steem blockchain supports real-world apps that ordinary people can begin using today.
Bringing STEEM to the Masses
We also know that Metal Pay will deliver a lot of value to Steemians as well. Metal Pay is a person-to-person payments platform that rewards its users with crypto when they send money to friends. We believe that by incorporating amazing tokens like STEEM, we can outcompete products like CashApp and Venmo and become one of the most useful—and most widely-used— payments apps in the world. We think that STEEM, with its 3-second zero-fee transfers, as well as its ability to onboard large numbers of regular people, will help turbocharge our growth while exposing more people than ever to this amazing blockchain.
Feedback Welcome
We’d love to hear what you think of our app, so please download it and leave your feedback in the comments section below. We’ll also be hosting a trivia competition later this week, so be sure to follow us on Steem, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, download the Metal Pay app, and tune in to earn rewards for sharing your crypto knowledge!
🤘 The Metal Pay Team
Yes! We’re actively working on releasing a global version. Please follow us for updates.
How soon could it be available for Italy, @metalpay?
Metal Pay for Europe is in huge demand. We'll announce regional expansions right here on Steemit. Please follow us!
We in Africa are also expecting Metalpay

Africa is a huge potential market for all crypto based services. People would be stupid to not focus heavily there. Also filled with some of the worlds up and coming economies. Lots of growth to happen in Africa.
You are very right

@metalpay we in Asia can't wait for that to happen!! ✨✨✨
Oh ok. I thought it was already global. Been seaching metal in my app store for a few times now :)
Hey, that is great! Always excited to read about Steem Growth!!
Are you working on any solutions to pay from your wallet to non-wallet? A visa / master card thing?
Yes to both! Please follow us for updates.
That's brilliant. Having a phone or card payment option would be huge and something I really want to see with STEEM. I'll be watching out for further news.
Very excited to hear more about this and I will start following you!
Should you need any help with beta testing something let me know. :D
I will follow you for updates too @metalpay and I'm interested in knowing if you will avoid fractional reserve policies.
I am weary about bank's fractional reserve policy and I'm interested in knowing if @metalpay will be a safe place for deposits.
Thank you!
P.S. You found this before me @jacuzzi 😀
@chrisrice LOL. You find more great articles than I do, just happened to see this one pop up in my newsfeed first thing!
I was really excited about $usd to Steem - but once you have the Steem in Metal - you cannot get it to your Steemit wallet. Please give us a way to transfer Steem from Metal to our Steemit Wallet so we can power it up, delegate it, etc.
This feature is currently in development and will be available in a future update. Please follow us for product release news.
Metaaaaaal
You have a Steem account with wallet. It should be pretty simple to allow users to request a transfer of “their” tokens from your wallet where you’re holding the tokens. If it takes more than a few days to implement this feature, that would be very concerning.
How could you have a wallet with out the ability to perform a transfer to a different wallet....from the outset.
I strongly agree with this.
Oh....
Thanks for this important detail.
So does it do one way transfers from Steem wallet to the metal wallet or just fiat to Steem On metal wallet?’
Thanks
Right now we allow users to purchase and sell between USD and 18 cryptocurrencies. Mainnet deposits and withdrawals are on the horizon.

holy moly what in the world.
Sounds great! I hope that maybe in future you might add other fiat currencies, especially euro.
Wow. Exactly what Steem needs to remain economically viable, a real world payment application.
Interesting.... never heard of this app! Installing it now :-) Welcome to the STEEM blockchain!
Really excited for this app to be available to New Yorkers. Great job!
We'd love to be there too! New York and several other US states have policies that currently prohibit us from servicing their residents. Please follow us for updates to know when we've launched in your area.
