Bitcoin (Bitcoin) and Dash can now be used at any retailer that accepts Visa, both in-store and online. Wirex debit cards allow the cryptocurrencies to be spent at over 40 million merchants worldwide, Cryptovest.com reports.
Wirex, a London-headquartered company providing personal banking and financial services to Bitcoin users, has announced plans to support Dash.
"Adding Dash to Wirex will support Dash in becoming an increasingly popular everyday payment instrument around the world," the debit card team said in a statement earlier this month.
In response to the Wirex integration, Dash Core Team CEO Ryan Taylor wrote: “I know that once Wirex consumers try Dash they will recognise the time-saving user experience our network provides for a fraction of the fees.”
“Dash is becoming the payment network of choice for many products and services, largely because our InstantSend feature ensures transactions are confirmed and settled in seconds. Customers can send and receive tokens instantaneously, negating issues of any price swings, and merchants enjoy less fees, and no wait times,” he said.
Currently, Wirex is working to integrate Dash into its wallet and cards, with no clear launch date given.
