MovoCash released a new cryptocurrency conversion service for its users a few weeks ago. The technology, called MovoChain, helps cryptocurrency investments and thus allows customers to quickly convert ten different virtual coins into fiat currency, deposited instantly on a debit card.
This technology is designed as a cryptocurrency-to-cash (C2C) and peer-to-peer (P2P) interoperability solution. Using a blockchain solution converts the value stored and held in cryptocurrency into fiat currency in the form of digital cash tokens on a linked debit card in no time.
It’s worth mentioning that California-based neobank MovoCash, which launched in 2014, is a digital payment platform that offers real-time bank accounts, debit cards, secure and settled banking, commercial payments, and P2P and ON-DEMAND transactions, within an end-to-end contactless technology, but is currently still only operating in the United States.
To facilitate the development and launch of “MOVOChain,” the company has partnered with two major players in the financial industry: Coastal Community Bank and Bitpay.
Bitpay is a bitcoin payment service provider, with a crucial role in managing the conversion from cryptocurrency to cash in this project.
Coastal Community Bank, on the other hand, is a physical bank with 13 branches in Washington.
