This new payment solution will enable Centri to promote crypto acceptance to its customer base, especially those who are crypto natives.

The solution is easy for clients to utilize.

Payments will be made seamlessly from approved crypto wallets. With over 100 million crypto wallets in use globally, consumers will enjoy this straightforward, one-step transactional model using their preferred native wallet to make a direct payment with their cryptocurrency. The solution supports major wallets like Coinbase Wallet, Gemini Wallet, Metamask, Binance, Exodus, and more to make payments in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Litecoin (LTC), XRP, Shiba Inu (SHIB), and five USD-pegged stablecoins (GUSD, USDC, PAX, DAI, and BUSD).

“By accepting cryptocurrency as a payment option for our clients via BitPay, Centri is reaffirming its commitment and belief in the cryptocurrency markets,” says Mike Andrusko, Centri’s Digital Assets Practice Leader. “We want to easily and securely accept these payments and allow businesses to spend their crypto.”
