The new service will protect merchants from volatility risks in the market as the crypto transaction is securely converted into Swiss Francs as soon as payments are made.
Reacting to the new development, the CEO of Worldline Switzerland, Marc Schluep, said:
“The launch of cryptocurrencies acceptance at the POS in Switzerland is a great proof of our ambition: Worldline wants to bring tangible value to merchants across the globe and to facilitate smooth and modern payments in all the markets we operate in.
