Leading payment services provider Peach Payments has partnered with South African Bitcoin and crypto payments solution provider MoneyBadger to enable its merchants to accept payment in Bitcoin and other crypto assets.
"MoneyBadger is well-respected and established locally, and offers payments via the majority of crypto wallets, which means more choice for consumers. This made MoneyBadger the obvious choice for our first crypto partnership. It is telling. The first purchases done via MoneyBadger on the Peach Payments platform were for spades at a suburban hardware store and light fittings at a well-known specialist lighting retailer, illustrating how mainstream Bitcoin payments are becoming."
- Anine de Kock, Head of Partnerships, Peach Payments.
Adoption ratesSixty-eight percent of South Africans own or have bought Bitcoin - one of the highest adoption rates globally. MoneyBadger enabled Pick n Pay to be the first retailer in Africa to offer Bitcoin and crypto payments to its customers at the till in early 2023. With this partnership, Peach Payments and MoneyBadger are making Bitcoin and crypto payments available to a much wider group of consumers.
