Campaign aimed at increasing the adoption of digital currencies to access new stock and ETF investing features on Abra



Mountain View, CA — July 10, 2019— Abra, the world’s first global investment app, and Simplex, a leading payment processing company, today announced a limited time promotion to help investors around the world easily convert fiat-to-crypto using a credit card with reduced fees.

The special offer lasts until August 31, 2019, and enables investors across the globe to start investing in digital assets using a credit or debit card for a reduced, 4% transaction fee.

“One of the biggest obstacles for the mass adoption of cryptocurrency is the ease of actually buying the cryptocurrency,” said Bill Barhydt, founder and CEO of Abra. “Our integration with Simplex provides fast and easy access to crypto for users around the world using a credit or debit card. Once purchased, users can start investing in any of the 100 assets on Abra, including popular stocks and ETFs*.”

“We fully support Abra’s mission of global financial access with its recent launch of stock and ETF investing capabilities,” said Nimrod Lehavi, co-founder and CEO of Simplex. “We’re excited to offer this promotion to help more investors access this revolutionary new product.”

Abra’s recent launch of a new equities investment feature enables investors in over 150 countries to make fractional investments in such popular stocks as Tesla, Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google, and recent IPOs such as Uber and Lyft.
