Vancouver, British Columbia–(COMMERCIAL THREAD)–Airswift Technology Limited, a leading native Web 3.0 payments company, and Cloud Payments, a digital payment and banking technology platform provider, have joined forces to enable crypto spenders instant access to cryptocurrencies at outlets using VISA and MasterCard payment methods.
The collaboration will simplify cryptocurrency-based purchases by providing cryptocurrencies and NFT purchases using VISA and MasterCard with optimized exchange rates. This offers cryptocurrency buyers greater convenience when purchasing retail goods and digital assets.
“Millions of Web 2.0 consumers are ready to onboard to Web 3.0, but are unfamiliar with the existing decentralized finance (DeFi) on-ramps,” said Dr. Yan Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Airswift. “So we worked together to integrate Cloud Payments’ simple credit card-based cryptocurrency purchasing tools into our easy-to-use crypto payment platform. This feature allows you to seamlessly step up and spend cryptocurrencies directly at the checkout without ever leaving the Airswift platform, thus reducing the friction for new entrants to the market.
“Our patented technology platform enables Web 2.0 consumers and merchants to easily transition to emerging Web 3.0 commerce and payment methods as that segment of our industry continues to grow rapidly. Our partnership with Airswift will create a world-class cryptocurrency payment experience,” said Mike Love, co-founder and CEO of Cloud Payments.
The ramped service will roll out first in North America and Europe.
