ForumPay, the global cryptocurrency payments technology provider has today announced a partnership with Winstar Payments, the US based payments provider that will add crypto acceptance to Winstar’s comprehensive product range.
Winstar merchants can now benefit from using ForumPay’s wallet agnostic solution to accept crypto payments from any of the 300 million plus global crypto wallet holders around the world.
With studies showing that crypto consumers spend 2x AOV of a typical credit card consumer and that 40% are in fact new customers, the partnership with ForumPay will connect Winstar’s merchants to one of the fastest growing consumer segments on the planet.
Josh Tate, CEO and co-founder of ForumPay said, “We are delighted to have Winstar Payments as a crypto acceptance partner and to be further extending crypto payment acceptance across the US. We are looking forward to enabling their merchants and in turn their wider customer bases to benefit from our risk free and transparent approach to crypto payments.”
ForumPay has made accepting crypto payment even easier than using a credit or debit card. Consumers can use their preferred wallet and crypto to pay by simply scanning the QR code presented at the point of sale in store or online. ForumPay provides instant transaction approval and converts the crypto to fiat at the best execution rate available, settling to the merchants’ bank account on the next day. Our solution is fully automated and risk free, shielding the merchant from any potential volatility risk.
Vinny Breault, Chief Revenue Officer of Winstar Payments said, “Winstar is very excited to partner with ForumPay for cryptocurrency acceptance. ForumPay is an industry leader in crypto processing. They have a robust platform and their own exchange, which allows for a smooth and transparent customer experience. Our partnership with ForumPay underscores Winstar’s commitment to providing the latest and most secure payment solutions for our customers.”
