Coinzone debuts in Czech Republic
Merchants are able to accept bitcoin mobile payments through Android and iOS apps, and the Coinzone platform features easy-to-install plugins for dozens of popular e-commerce platforms.
Coinzone, a bitcoin payment-solution provider, Monday announced its launch in the Czech Republic just a few weeks after it debuted in the U.K., according to a press release.
Amsterdam-based Coinzone said it is the first provider to offer dedicated bitcoin transaction services fully supported by local banking partnerships in the Czech Republic.
Coinzone said its fully featured customized payment product incorporates market-specific language and payment processing localizations that uniquely offer merchants the option of settlement in Czech Koruna, the local currency of the Czech Republic. Payouts are delivered quickly into service users' bank accounts no matter how low the balance is, according to the announcement.
"Unlike other providers which offer blanket solutions featuring currencies and language options that aren't relevant to the local markets they serve, Coinzone is dedicated to giving European users the confidence of a service that incorporates local language and payment instruments — delivering funds direct from and to in-country bank accounts and in their local currency," said Manuel Heilmann, CEO and cofounder of Coinzone.
Merchants are able to accept bitcoin mobile payments through Android and iOS apps, and the Coinzone platform features easy-to-install plugins for dozens of popular e-commerce platforms including Magento, Opencart and Shopware, according to the announcement.
Coinzone noted that the Czech Bitcoin community is flourishing and demand for the currency is booming; the region has a bitcoin exchange and nine bitcoin ATMs are now in operation.
"We are delighted to be serving such a forward thinking market where consumers and businesses alike are eager to participate in the innovative virtual currency revolution,” Heilmann said. "This is a fast-moving and exciting market and we hope our contribution will enable those users who are looking for a secure and trusted environment in which to transact. Our launch in Czech Republic represents the culmination of many months working to satisfy the expectations and demands of local merchants and resellers who've been crying out for a cutting-edge localized solution that meets specific local market needs. In the coming months we’ll be looking to extend our operations with the launch in additional eastern and southern European markets."
