Apriva has announced a strategic partnership with GoCoin to process digital currencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin for Apriva’s channel partners.
This partnership enables Apriva’s vast reseller base to provide their merchants the ability to safely accept digital currencies without taking on market volatility. Merchants can keep the coins, or immediately trade them at the current market rate.
“As the payments industry evolves, we want to empower merchants by giving their consumers the option to use the latest payment forms for their purchases,” said Steve Beauregard, Founder and CEO of GoCoin. “Our partnership will enable Apriva’s resellers and ISVs to provide their merchants the most comprehensive selection of payment options offered today.”
“Digital currencies are another driver of change within the payments industry and quickly gaining in interest from consumers. Our customers rely on us to be at the forefront of innovation so they can differentiate themselves and take advantage of new opportunities to meet their consumer needs,” said Chris Spinella, Apriva’s Chief Executive Officer. “GoCoin’s technology platform is an ideal complement to the Apriva Gateway, providing us with the ability to support current digital currencies, and emerging currencies as well.”
