Bitcoin-based remittance service launched in the Philippines

Thursday 16 July 2015 00:07 CET | News

Zinger, a startup servicing the Canadian-Filipino remittance corridor, has announced a partnership with local service Coins.ph.

Now, banked workers in Canada can use the domestic payments provider Interac to pay for a Bitcoin transmission to a Coins.ph wallet, which may be cashed out at a range of Philippines locations.

Zinger relies on the concept of Interac ‘pushing’ transactions by purchasing remittances in CAD, authorizing a user’s bank transfer and signaling a BTC transfer in Zinger.

Coins.ph balances are able to be cashed out at one of 24 banks, in person in cash or even courier delivery or cardless ATM.
