Dash Partners with BlockPay to Enable Point of Sale Purchases at Brick and Mortar Stores

February 24, 2017 By: Mike Dautner

Dash is without a doubt becoming a major contender in the digital currency space, and it seems like every other day there is an update on their front.

This can only mean good things are on the way for the company as a whole, and a further pain in the side of the likes of bitcoin.

Recently, Dash announced a business partnership with digital payments platform BlockPay that will enable users to pay for goods in Dash currency, straight from the merchant. The deal follows multiple corporate alliances the Dash team has accrued in Q1 2017. This is a result of substantial gains in value and trading volumes across the months of January and February.

BlockPay calls Munich home, and is rising in popularity on the international scale, and Europe and Latin America in particular due to its ability to enable POS transactions at little to no cost to the merchant and unbelievably low fees for the consumer.

Daniel Diaz, Dash VP of Business Development said, “This partnership benefits our entire community and all future Dash users because adoption grows alongside real world applications. We found that BlockPay and Dash have very common goals and together we are educating people on how cryptocurrencies can often be a better alternative to fiat. People are really starting to understand that they do have the power to change lives. Dash is a project that has been focused a lot on usability as digital cash, and we want people to have a similar experience doing both online and Point of Sale transactions. BlockPay has taken solid steps in this direction, developing software to make it easier for brick and mortar shops to accept digital currency seamlessly.”
