The firm announced the launch of Bitpay Send, a mass payout service that enables organizations of all sizes to pay employees, affiliates, and freelance contractors. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment services provider <a href=\"https:\/\/bitpay.com\/\">Bitpay<\/a> has announced the launch of a new product called <a href=\"https:\/\/bitpay.com\/send\/\">Bitpay Send<\/a>. The new platform is called a mass payout service and it aims to help employers and other types of organizations pay workers in crypto.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Bitpay Send launch, the firm also detailed that the company <a href=\"https:\/\/adgatemedia.com\/\">Adgate Media<\/a> now leverages the mass payout system. Adgate connects with digital advertiser affiliates that reward users for engagement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have lots of affiliates who wanted to be paid in bitcoin, especially those who are based outside North America and Europe where access to bank accounts is difficult,\u201d said Dan Sapozhnikov Adgate\u2018s President. \u201cOne of our biggest challenges is that we did not want to buy and hold crypto and having Bitpay manage that risk was an important factor in choosing Bitpay Send,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sapozhnikov further said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>With Bitpay Send, we are able to get our affiliates paid in a matter of minutes and not days.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bitpay\u2019s service will compete with companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/us-eu-and-uk-companies-can-now-pay-workers-in-bitcoin-cash-via-bitwage\/\">Bitwage<\/a>, a firm that also offers infrastructure to pay a company\u2019s employees with digital assets like <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a>, and <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BCH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BCH<\/a>. In order to leverage the new Bitpay Send, users don\u2019t need a bank account to leverage the platform.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bitpay Send users will need access to a <a href=\"https:\/\/wallet.bitcoin.com\/\">crypto asset wallet<\/a> and have a Bitpay ID. The company announcement says the firm will charge a 1% fee for processing cross-border payments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlockchain payment adoption is growing because it offers an easy way to send and receive payments on a global scale,\u201d said Stephen Pair, CEO of Bitpay. \u201cTraditional international payment methods are cumbersome, costly, and slow. With Bitpay Send, companies can make mass payouts without having to buy, own or manage crypto and their recipients receive payments quicker and at a lower cost,\u201d the executive added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-423298\" title=\"Bitpay Launches New Payroll Service for Companies That Opt to Pay Employees in Crypto \" src=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend.jpg\" alt=\"Bitpay Launches New Payroll Service for Companies That Opt to Pay Employees in Crypto \" width=\"601\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend-1024x376.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend-768x282.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend-696x256.jpg 696w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend-1068x392.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bpsend-1144x420.jpg 1144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\"><\/p>\n<p>Bitpay\u2019s system allows for payments in <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a>, <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BCH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BCH<\/a>, <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ETH<\/a>, <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/XRP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a>, and a few stablecoin assets as well.
