November 05, 2024 – Singapore and Paris – Ingenico, a global leader in payment acceptance and services, and Crypto.com, a leading crypto trading platform, are proud to announce 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.
Transformative Payment Technology and Ingenico Merchant Wallet
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.
Expanding Benefits for Merchants and Consumers
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.
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.
