Wirex, a leading crypto provider, has announced that it is expanding its sphere to enable access to the popular Avalanche blockchain and tokens for 4.5 million users. The popular Avalanche blockchain and tokens recently launched the award-winning Wirex Wallet and the app.

Wirex is available in more than 120 countries and has been on a mission to allow customers to reap the benefits of crypto and DeFi. The mission also includes the expansion of Avalanche, which will accelerate progress for an unparalleled user experience and technology. Avalanche is the fastest intelligent contracts platform in the blockchain industry. Interestingly, it is compatible with Ethereum smart contracts and tooling. As a result, Ethereum users and developers can quickly access high-performance decentralized apps with such compatibility.

With the support of Avalanche in the application, Wirex is actively enabling mainstream users to access Defi easier than before. On this platform, users can send, receive, store and exchange payments through their mobile devices in a secure way. In addition, users can also take advantage of cheaper gas fees and can take advantage of custom tokens on blockchains.

Furthermore, Wirex app users can also purchase AVAX with their debit/credit card at market rates, which can be seamlessly exchanged and easily sent and received to and from any other AVAX wallet. Furthermore, users can spend AVAX plus up to 61 cryptos with the help of using traditional currencies globally on the Wirex platform, which is linked to a crypto-enabled debit card. Apart from this, users can also earn up to 20% AER interest* on AVAX through the recently launched Defi savings product at particular monthly fees.

Pavel Matveev, CEO and Co-Founder of Wirex commented, "Wirex continues to innovate and build partnerships that strengthen our offerings, and the addition of Avalanche is helping to develop use-cases for the Wirex ecosystem. In addition, Avalanche's reputation for improving blockchain's accessibility closely aligns with Wirex's, where we can together help to offer users of all backgrounds more choice and flexibility over how they wish to use crypto."

Wirex and Ava Labs, a team supporting development of the Avalanche blockchain, have worked with the payment technology company Mastercard. With Mastercard, it will help make the entire payment process a reality. As a result, Wirex became a crypto card program partner in 2020, and Avalanche became a Mastercard Start Path Crypto engagement program member in 2021.

Wirex is moving fast to make digital assets and the innovation happening on public blockchains more accessible to the masses. We're excited to support Wirex's expansion to Avalanche and look forward to further collaboration with Wirex and Mastercard."

John Wu, President of Ava Labs

Accepting phone payments is a smart move for a seamless, secure and speedy buying experience, says Lanistar

PRnewswire | April 26, 2023

The adoption of card payment acceptance by smartphone apps is transforming how payments are processed. Mobile payments not only benefit retailer-customer relations but open up business opportunities to innovations such as click-and-collect and mobile wallets with integrated loyalty. This is according to virtual payment card provider Lanistar. Jeremy Baber, CEO of Lanistar said: "With smartphone technologies continuing to advance, businesses can process card payments through apps to improve efficiencies and streamline sales. Merchants should consider accepting card payments on a mobile device to allow customers to pay from any location. Mobile payments not only reduce expenses but increase data security which is instrumental to business success." Businesses can choose from a variety of methods of mobile payments, including cloud terminals that process transactions through a web-based application, scanning app-generated QR codes and sending payment links directly to customers that leads to transaction web pages. SoftPos a new revolutionary technology also bypasses the need for external card readers by using NFC technology on smartphones to read cards and accept payments. Baber continued: "Payments accepted through smartphones are the future of transactions provided that proper regulations and compliance are in place. However, due to its restricted availability, it is crucial to choose the app wisely. Merchants must select a reputable service provider with a reliable track record, with regular updates being the top priority." Accepting payments through mobile apps provides a host of benefits, including reducing costs by eliminating external hardware and cumbersome payment infrastructures, and increasing sales thanks to the reduced complexity of processes. Merchants are also more secure, with payment app developers continuously introducing fraud-prevention tools to enhance safety. Baber concluded: "New mobile payment tools allow organisations to analyse financial behaviour providing data-based knowledge to establish business strengths. Furthermore, accepting phone payments is a sustainable and green option, eliminating the need for extensive hardware and the need for printing receipts and transaction records." "Mobile payment acceptance is the future and will help satisfy a new generation of customers with smooth payment experiences. Mobile devices are transforming where we can do business, with new processes allowing businesses to accept payments from any location. Organisations need to adapt to change as the benefits speak for themselves."
