Bitpay Cardholders Can Now Use Apple PayBitpay announced Friday its support for Apple Pay. U.S.-based Bitpay debit card users can now add their Bitpay card as a funding source inside their Apple Pay app. This will allow them to make online and in-store purchases with cryptocurrencies wherever Apple Pay is accepted. The announcement states:
US cardholders of the Bitpay prepaid Mastercard can add their card to Apple Wallet and spend with Apple Pay. With Apple Pay, Bitpay cardholders can make secure purchases in stores, in apps, and online.
The company explained that while new Bitpay customers wait for their plastic card to arrive, they can add virtual cards to Apple Wallet via the Bitpay Wallet app to start using Apple Pay immediately.
Moreover, Bitpay announced that “Support for Google Pay and Samsung Pay is planned for later this quarter.” CEO Stephen Pair commented, “We have thousands of Bitpay Wallet app customers using the Bitpay card who are always looking for new places and ways to spend their crypto.”

He elaborated:
Adding Apple Pay and soon Google and Samsung Pay makes it easy and convenient to use the Bitpay card in more places from day-to-day items to luxury purchases.
The Bitpay card converts cryptocurrency into fiat currency, which can be used to pay for purchases. Its wallet app supports funding from bitcoin, bitcoin cash, and ether, as well as four dollar-pegged stablecoins, USDC, GUSD, PAX, and BUSD.
