COPENHAGEN, July 14, 2012

Until now, more than 300 million people living in the Middle Eastern and North African countries have had no direct way to acquire bitcoins.



This ends today as Bitcoin Nordic introduces cashU as a payment option. cashU prepaid cards can be bought at locations all over the Middle East and North Africa.



"We are very excited about introducing cashU as a payment option on Bitcoin Nordic. This will expose Bitcoin to a whole new region," says Lasse Birk Olesen, Head of Operations at Bitcoin Nordic.



cashU prepaid cards are available in every country in the Middle East and North Africa with especially large presences in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates (UAE).



And cashU prepaid cards are just one way to top up a cashU account, as cashU cooperates with Ukash and several other payment systems to make it truly globally available.



The price for purchasing bitcoins with cashU is the MtGox 24h average + 15% at the moment, but Bitcoin Nordic is looking to lower this as soon as volume increases.

Bitcoin Nordic is a registered company in Valby, Copenhagen, Denmark. The service was launched April 2, 2012 with its main feature being the instant delivery of bitcoins for payment by credit card. Two months later, this was suspended by the VISA and MasterCard organizations, but Bitcoin Nordic has continued to serve Europe with bitcoins for bank transfers and anonymous cash in the mail. With cashU, Bitcoin Nordic continues on its mission to deliver bitcoins to everyone fast and easy.

Heh, will it really?



This is a layer on top of the traditional banking system not on top of Bitcoin and I also don't really understand how the option to top up your cashU account with either buying a prepaid card via fiat or using bitcoins introduces Bitcoin to all those people.



I'm all for any type of development when it's conntected to Bitcoin and I wish them good luck but I'm not particularly a fan of this specific endeavour.
