Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has integrated two new payment methods into its platform. The integration of Apple Pay and Google Pay aims to ease transactions for over 100 cryptocurrencies.
Bitget customers can now use various fiat currencies to purchase cryptocurrencies on the platform. The new payment methods promise transaction completion in under 30 seconds. The platform supports over 140 fiat currencies.
"With both the payment application’s combined vast user base of over 650 million, we’re enabling broader masses and newer audiences to interact with crypto. By offering popular payment options, we are making crypto purchases instant and easy," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.
Apple Pay works seamlessly on iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches. Transactions are authenticated via Face ID, Touch ID, passcode, and a one-time dynamic security code for security. Credit and debit card numbers are not stored on devices or Apple servers but kept in a specially designed chip.
Similarly, Google Pay offers a secure platform for managing finances. It supports contactless payments and secure online purchases. With encryption and tokenization, Google Pay protects transactions by using a virtual account number instead of transmitting actual card numbers.
This integration is part of Bitget’s broader strategy to enhance its platform’s functionality, building on existing payment gateways like Advcash, Banxa, and Mercuryo. It comes soon after Bitget expanded into markets in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia by adding fiat gateways for these regions.
