The online travel agency from Spain has recently expanded its payment methods and added a lot of new possibilities in the form of cryptocurrencies. Destinia launches crypto payments in five cryptocurrencies available to all users in Spain. The firm has been known and featured in the crypto news before for allowing purchases through Bitcoin.
However, the company now introduced five other crypto options, including payments in Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Eos (EOS), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Dash (DASH). As the company explained in a statement, the new features began testing in July through a payment pltform which included these cryptocurrency wallets. The system is currently fully operational and users can select the visualization of their crypto services online – or make the purchase using any of the six virtual currencies.
The ETH news show that Spaniards could now use Ethereum besides Bitcoin to book travel deals on Destinia. For those of you who don’t know, the travel agency has been accepting payments in Bitcoin from January 2014 and is one of the pioneers of cryptocurrency payments in the country.
Now that Destinia launches crypto payments, the company prides itself in being the first European online travel agency to accept BTC payments (as they say). They have been featured in the Bitcoin news updates for some time and were established as a pro-Bitcoin medium. According to their reports, around 7.23% of its customers selected Bitcoin back in 2018 to book travel services.
All of this signifies the importance of crypto payments in Spain. The incorporation of cryptocurrencies, according to Destinia, aligns with its strategic plan in relation to its technological development – which places the firm at the service of the user’s needs.
Besides cryptocurrencies, one can book travel deals on Destinia through PayPal, Amazon Pay, immediate financing with Aplázame or the Bizum mobile application. Cristina Verdi, who is responsible for payment and treasury methods at the firm, commented as Destinia launches crypto payments and said that with this latest update, “users can use different wallets to finalize their purchase and select the cryptocurrencies they prefer.”
All of this helps the company “obtain a fast, simple and secure process which is fundamental for the eCommerce user nowadays,” Verdi concluded.
