Alliance Virtual Offices has become the first global virtual office e-commerce platform to accept Bitcoin as a payment method.
Alliance Virtual Offices has 600 locations around the world and hopes that Bitcoin will simplifiy its payment transactions in a multi-currency arena.
Frank Cottle, chairman and founder of Alliance Business Centers and CEO of Alliance Virtual Offices commented: “When we launched Alliance Virtual Offices, we committed to driving innovation and leadership in the alternative workspace world. When we recognized Bitcoin’s growing impact on the digital payments industry, we moved swiftly to add this alternative currency to our payment options for global clients. We expect to see more virtual office users at home and abroad opt for virtual payment solutions like Bitcoin in 2014 and beyond.”
Mike Sullivan, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer for Alliance Virtual Offices added: “Virtual offices are part of the global economy—and so is Bitcoin. By adding Bitcoin as a payment option, we’re making it even easier to do business with Alliance Virtual Offices and demonstrating to clients that we’re not only committed to helping them save money on officing but also with the method with which they pay for that officing.”
