Swipe, a UK-based multi-asset digital wallet and Visa debit card platform designed to let users buy, sell and spend their cryptocurrencies, announced on Friday that Swipe Android users can now add their Swipe Visa Debit cards directly to their Samsung Pay Wallets.
Founded in 2018, the Swipe Wallet is designed to require Swipe Tokens (SXP) to perform all functions and utility of a digital wallet, including to use in services and to make withdrawals.
“Users of the Swipe Wallet can buy, sell, and pay with their cryptocurrencies to fiat directly within the wallet application. Users can also purchase gift cards and make instant exchanges between all supported cryptocurrencies.”
Swipe further reported that Samsung Pay gives Swipe Visa cardholders access to a secure and fast way to pay with their smartphones, smartwatches, and other Samsung Pay-enabled devices. With the collaboration, cardholders can enjoy these benefits instantly and use their cryptocurrencies at over 50 million locations worldwide.
Cardholders in the UK and European Union countries, which includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain, and Sweden are able to utilize Samsung Pay. Joselito Lizarondo, Swipe CEO, then concluded:
“This integration and relationship with Samsung will open cryptocurrency adoption and make transacting with our Visa card in Euros converted by crypto seamless. Given all of the COVID-19 issues and people steering away from physical products like cash and, in some instances cards, a digital solution really helps put our client’s needs first.”
