Ingenico, a global leader in payment acceptance and services, and Crypto.com, a leading crypto trading platform, announced „a ground-breaking partnership” to bring crypto payments and merchant services to the Ingenico platform worldwide. „This pioneering “plug-and-play” solution will empower Ingenico merchants to accept crypto payments seamlessly and securely, meeting the needs of over 680 million consumers.” – according to the press release.
Through this collaboration, Ingenico merchants can now accept crypto payments and receive funds settlement without currency risk in their local currency, such as EUR, GBP, AUD, or USD. At the heart of this offering is Ingenico’s new merchant wallet, connected to AXIUM Android terminals to simplify merchant interactions with the crypto world and other key services. This new functionality also enables merchants to enjoy the flexibility and ease of integrating crypto alongside their existing payment systems.
Crypto.com and Ingenico’s partnership extends beyond crypto payments. With Crypto.com Pay, consumers can earn rewards for transactions, while Ingenico provides merchants with additional services linked to the terminal, allowing merchants to manage payments and services through mobile and tablet devices. „This joint solution aims to normalize crypto payments for real-world retail experiences, making crypto adoption simpler, faster, and more robust.” – the company said.
Future Roadmap and Global Reach
Ingenico is in active discussions with leading merchants, supported by Crypto.com, and plans to roll out the live pilot with selected partners in Q1 2025. This innovative solution will be available across several regions, including the U.S., Canada, the EEA, the UK, Asia, and Australia.
„Our partnership with Crypto.com will redefine the payments landscape by seamlessly integrating crypto payments into commerce environments. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for merchant services worldwide, setting a new standard for innovative payment solutions that are moving commerce forward.” – said Patrick Blanc, Chief Technology Officer of Ingenico.
„We are on a mission to make it easier for people to use cryptocurrency in real-world payment scenarios and our partnership with Ingenico will go a long way to bringing crypto out of the web and increase its adoption as a powerful payment tool. Crypto.com Pay is a secure and scalable technology, offering our customers yet another innovative way to interact with cryptocurrency – as the future of payments.” – said Eric Anziani, President & Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com
