Until today, Cryptopay has already issued more than 37,000 credit cards and they have 167,000 users who perform 100,000 transactions per month, which is nothing.

Use

Cryptopay customers can buy, sell or store Bitcoins through portfolios offered by the company on the FLEX account. They just need to connect their bank accounts to the platform and convert their Euro, GBP or USD into Bitcoin.

All these currencies can be stored on the same account, which is extremely convenient for transactions. Visa cards offered by Cryptopay are accepted wherever Visa is accepted and customers can pay online or offline. They have access to millions of businesses around the world.
