DIGATRADE™ Launches Global Card-based Transactions with Vogogo

The proprietary DIGATRADE™ trading platform, which is powered by technology from existing Vogogo client, Hong Kong-based ANX, already allows people from around the world to trade the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Ripple, and Stellar for Canadian dollars and vice versa.

As a result of a broader integration with the Vogogo platform, DIGATRADE™ is now able to process customer deposits via credit cards globally including Canada, the United States the United Kingdom and all 28 countries in the European Union in local currencies.

Brad Moynes, CEO of DIGATRADE™ said "Enabling instant payment mechanisms such as USD deposits via credit cards is not only a competitive advantage for DIGATRADE™ but furthermore, it eliminates the delays and complexities traditionally experienced by customers wanting to purchase bitcoins via an online exchange venue."

"Vogogo has enjoyed a great working relationship with DIGATRADE™ and is pleased to be able to facilitate its expansion and enable it to offer highly competitive services to its client base such as global currency support." said Vogogo CEO, Geoff Gordon. "A key part of our ongoing business development strategy is to broaden our service offering with the many leading cryptocurrency groups we are already engaged with and this is a great early example of that endeavor."

Bit Trade Australia Launches in Canada

The integration of the Vogogo platform enables Bit Trade to launch its Canadian exchange, Bit Trade Canada, and begin on-boarding Canadian customers for its fixed rate exchange service. Canadians can now initiate accounts at Bit Trade using Interac and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

Established in 2013 in Sydney, Australia, Bit Trade is the country's oldest and most established digital currency exchange with a total trading volume of more than AUD$26 million since its launch.

Vogogo expects to derive revenue from the integrations in line with its established business model.
