South African payments provider Wallettec has partnered with BitPay to integrate bitcoin with its point-of-sale (POS) payment platform.
The company worked with South African BitPay affiliate Bitcoin Payments to allow merchants using its platform to accept bitcoin payments via in-store POS devices.
The new partnership is an important step forward in bringing bitcoin to brick-and-mortar retailers in South Africa.
Wallettec’s founder Johan Meyer told CoinDesk that “this is the first time anybody has integrated bitcoin point-of-sale and allowed merchants to accept bitcoin payments from almost any payment device” in the country.
