A new service is aimed towards making Australia favorable for cryptocurrencies. IvyPay has announced a partnership with HiveEx.com, a cryptocurrency brokerage, and Ivy, an Australian blockchain company. This collaboration will allow users to pay bills and facilitate direct bank transfers.

The existing infrastructure poses a challenge and this service intends to promote the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Fred Schebesta, co-founder, HiveEx.com said

“Despite cryptocurrency being around for the past decade, it still has quite a while to go before it’s as widely used as fiat currencies, like the Australian dollar. We wanted to help build a platform to bridge the gap between fiat and crypto.”

Users will be charged a small percentage fee for every transfer that they make.

HiveEx recently carried out a survey that found that 10 percent of users find it difficult to transfer their cryptocurrencies into their existing bank accounts. This poses a major roadblock for adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Another survey that was carried out by HiveEx and IvyPay found that there are about 2.58 million Australians who currently in possession of cryptocurrencies.
