Coinify’s Partnerships and Expansion Aims to Bring Digital Currency Solutions to a Broader Audience

Coinify calls itself a blockchain payment service provider (bPSP), and was founded in 2014 by Mark Højgaard, and Lasse Birk Olesen. The startup has made partnerships with digital currency businesses in the space as well as receiving a multi-million dollar capital injection from firms like Seed Capital Denmark, and SEB Venture Capital. Last November Coinify joined forces with the Luxembourg-based company Blockchain enabling UK residents the ability to purchase bitcoin within the Blockchain wallet interface.

Morten Bebe, the Sales Manager at Coinify says its latest partnership with Countr expands the company’s services to a broader audience worldwide.

“Coinify is on a mission to spread the use of digital currencies by offering everyone the opportunity to use alternative payments methods and accept blockchain currency payments,” Morten Bebe details. “With Countr POS we are succeeding in expanding blockchain payments in both online and offline environments.”

Coinify says it will continue servicing customers across the European continent but also looks to expand into Asian and global markets in general. The partnership with Countr will help progress Coinify’s goals towards enabling online businesses, physical shops, and individuals from various countries the chance to utilize digital currency solutions this summer.
