Bitkey users can now see MoonPay as a partner to purchase bitcoin.
Starting today, Bitkey customers will have even more options to buy bitcoin their way using MoonPay, the leading financial technology company that serves as an entry point to the crypto economy for millions of users around the globe. Together, we're making it easier for people to get started buying bitcoin by introducing new ways to pay in many of the more than 90 countries we ship Bitkey to.
MoonPay enables customers to buy crypto using popular payment methods like debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers. It’s the only on-ramp that allows crypto purchases with a PayPal account, an integration that recently expanded to the United Kingdom and the EU (excluding Croatia, Hungary, and Iceland). This makes transactions more accessible and convenient, catering to a global audience and extends the availability for Bitkey customers to purchase bitcoin to more territories.
And now Bitkey users will see MoonPay appear alongside Cash App and Coinbase to purchase bitcoin.
Partnering to grow the bitcoin ecosystem
As Bitkey continues to grow, we are dedicated to building an ecosystem of quality partners to help make self-custody easier than ever before, enhancing the overall user experience. These partnerships are not just about expanding Bitkey's capabilities; they represent a commitment to growing the self-custody and broader bitcoin ecosystem.
By design, we leave the transaction execution to trusted partners; from transferring to buying bitcoin, our goal has always been to provide Bitkey users with a smooth and transparent experience.
We are thrilled to see Bitkey users leveraging the partner integrations to both transfer their existing bitcoin securely into the safety of self-custody and purchase more bitcoin through our partnerships with Cash App, Coinbase, and now MoonPay.
The user journey for both bitcoin transfer and purchase begin within the Bitkey app from where customers are seamlessly redirected to the selected partner's platform, to log into their existing account or sign up for a new one if needed.
For the purchase flow, we've prioritized transparency. We work closely with our partners to display the true full cost of a transaction, taking into account both the fiat-to-bitcoin exchange rate provided by each partner and their fiat payment method processing fees. This ensures Bitkey customers have a clear understanding of the total costs involved for their transaction. By working together with trusted partners we can make bitcoin more accessible and secure for everyone.
Bitkey keeps getting better
Over the past few months, in addition to partnering with MoonPay, we have also continuously shipped improvements to the Bitkey experience and added new features, including:
- Multiple fingerprints & Fingerprint Enrollment Improvements: Enroll up to three different fingerprints to unlock your hardware wallet
- Expected Transactions: Showing the status of incoming transfers
- Biometric sign-in: Option to choose between biometric sign in and pin to access the Bitkey app
With Bitkey, we are constantly striving to improve and innovate, ensuring that our customers have the best possible experience when managing their bitcoin. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance Bitkey and make bitcoin self custody easier than ever before.
