Bitget has integrated Apple Pay for iOS users and Google Pay for Android users into its platform. This move aims to simplify the conversion of fiat into crypto, making transactions quicker and more seamless compared to traditional methods like cards or bank transfers.
- Bitget customers can now purchase over 100 cryptocurrencies using a variety of fiat currencies. With the new integration, transactions can be completed in under 30 seconds, and the platform supports over 140 fiat currencies.
- The combined user base of Apple Pay and Google Pay exceeds 650 million, allowing Bitget to reach broader audiences and make crypto purchases easier.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, highlighted the significance of offering popular payment options, emphasizing that these integrations make crypto purchases both instant and straightforward. Apple Pay allows users to make secure transactions across various Apple devices, with authentication methods like Face ID and Touch ID ensuring safety. Google Pay, similarly, offers a secure platform for contactless payments and online purchases, using encryption and tokenization to protect sensitive financial information.
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. The update follows Bitget’s expansion into the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, adding fiat gateways for these regions. Additionally, Bitget has partnered with Solana to support blockchain development, launching a hackathon to encourage new Solana-based projects.
