Worldcore is a unique new player in fintech, allowing customers access to
international banking, e-currencies, and country-to-country transfers
regardless of their country of origin. Worldcore users can also withdraw Euros
or US dollars to any bank accounts or Visa and MasterCard debit cards with
minimal fees. Worldcore's wide array of options has already appealed to many
international businesspeople, emigrants, and travelers who rely on or send
remittance payments across borders.
As a currency for the global internet, bitcoin will give Worldcore's
multinational customers access to banking services without the need for credit
cards, banking infrastructure, or currency exchanges.
Bitcoin also meets Worldcore's rigorous security standards. The company, which
recently introduced the EU's first voice biometric security system, chose
bitcoin in part because it limits the potential for payment fraud and
chargebacks.
'Our goal is to open up the global marketplace to businesses and consumers who
aren't served by legacy banking and are looking for cost-effective, innovative
payment products,' said Worldcore's CEO Alex Nasonov. 'Bitcoin will allow us to
reach more people with that mission. With BitPay as our new partner, it's
'Easier than you think.''
'Worldcore is leading the way in providing comprehensive banking services for
the digital economy,' said BitPay EMEA General Manager Marcel Roelants. 'We
think bitcoin can become the preferred method for international top-up
payments, and we are excited to see how Worldcore's customers will respond to
this new payment option.'
