CUBITS IN THE PAYMENT GATEWAY MARKET
We at Cubits believe that gateways are the future of payment solutions for online businesses. Through a fast and easy integration process, merchants can accept a wide range of different payment methods at once, without any need to sign contracts with the payment providers individually. As for Bitcoin, payment gateways offer the best way to make Bitcoin accessible to a larger audience and to reach the global market quickly. In light of the fact that Bitcoin is still in the early phase of mainstream adoption, it is important to position Bitcoin alongside traditional and alternative payment methods. Generating the awareness and trust of consumers is key and payment gateways can help us to develop the reputation of Bitcoin among merchants and customers.
Last month, we announced our partnership with payment gateway ePrimeGlobal, and we are currently in the middle of the next integration process with a Russian partner. We strongly believe that the role of Bitcoin will soon be self-evident in the world of online payment methods and that gateway providers will quickly realize the advantages provided by Bitcoin.
“Our collaboration with ApcoPay is another important step for us in bringing Bitcoin to the global market place. Through ApcoPay, we reach a wide audience of businesses and can make them aware of Bitcoin’s advantages easier than ever before. It is our main goal to develop a flexible payments ecosystem for merchants and customers alike. With ApcoPay, we found a trusted partner with which to grow.” (Tim Rehder, CEO at Cubits)
CUSTOMERS WANT TO CHOOSE FROM A LARGE NUMBER OF PAYMENT METHODS
Over the last year, it has become more important for online merchants to offer their customers a large number of payment methods to choose from. Since alternative payment methods, like PayPal and Sofort, entered the payment market, it has become a ‘must’ to add those alongside traditional payment methods such as credit cards. The FinTech industry continues to change rapidly and merchants quickly have to adapt to the payment behavior of their customers in order to compete. With the decision to implement Bitcoin, ApcoPay is at the forefront of this growing trend.
