On Feb 27, Hong Kong-based crypto payments provider Crypto.com announced a partnership with cryptocurrency-friendly travel booking platform Travala. The deal will see Crypto.com‘s payment app integrated onto Travala’s website, providing a streamlined gateway for bookings to be made on the platform. Previously, customers needed to manually complete transfers using their wallets when seeking to make purchases using cryptocurrencies.

The companies emphasize that Crypto.com Pay’s 1 million users can now access 2 million accommodations in 230 countries. Travala customers can use Crypto.com Pay to make payments in Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Ripple, and Crypto.com‘s CRO token. Travala now accepts payments via credit card, PayPal, Crypto.com Pay, and 25 different crypto assets.

In a press release shared with the media, Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said that Travala is “a well-recognized brand in the crypto community.”

Steve Hipwell, Travala’s co-founder & COO, stated that he hopes the partnership will “further drive cryptocurrency adoption to the masses and make paying with cryptocurrency a norm.”

Crypto.com COO Eric Anziani told the media that his company is actively pursuing additional partnerships to expand its merchant network.
