Austrian A1 Telekom (WDAG: TKA) has introduced the use of crypto for payment. According to a report on the company’s website, A1 Payment now accepts digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dash for cashless payments. With this development, retailers in Austria will have other payment options apart from common methods with Maestro or credit cards.

On the 27th March, the leading Austrian Telekom provider, A1 Telekom unveiled the new payment option. In the report, the company said:

“With A1 Payment, retailers across Austria have the possibility to accept digital currencies. In addition to all common payment methods with Maestro or credit cards, payments via online platforms such as AliPay as well as risk-free transactions of digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum or Dash are now possible.”

A1 Offers Crypto Payment Option

Referring to the benefits of the new option, the report revealed that retailers now have different payment alternatives available for users. When users pay with digital currencies such as Bitcoin, ETH or Dash, the payment will be converted into euros in real-time.

A1 Payment allows retailers to receive “purchase price in euros,” the company added. With this, retailers avoid payment of any exchange rates or currency risk. Also, A1 Telekom has simplified the crypto payment methods, so retailers do not need to have deep knowledge of cryptocurrency. In addition, A1 is confident that the adoption of crypto payments will allow companies to meet their customers’ diverse needs.
