MovoCash, a Californian-based neobank, has launched a cryptocurrency conversion service available to all its users. The new service, which uses 'MOVO Chain' technology, allows customers to convert cryptocurrencies into fiat currency, which it instantaneously loads onto a traditional debit card.
The new technology is compatible with 10 different digital currencies, including Ethereum and Bitcoin. To aid the development and launch of 'MOVO Chain,' the company partnered with Coastal Community Bank and Bitpay, a payment service provider. Currently, MovoCash has over $420.8 million in user deposits and has raised about $1.5 million in crowd-sourced funding.
MovoCash's Founder and CEO, Eric Solis, hopes that the company's new service will further legitimize crypto as a medium for exchange, allowing customers to "use Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies as their long-term savings and fiat for their day-to-day payments."
