People who are not involved in modern technology often have problems buying bitcoins. And it is not surprising, because the process of purchasing a crypto currency is not very convenient. Registration on the exchange takes time, and sometimes, taking into account all factors, it can be quite time consuming. The number of bitcomomnotes is still small, and even in large cities it's not easy to get to them. However, in Austria this situation should change in the coming months. Almost two thousand post offices in the country will offer their visitors to convert the euro into bitcoins.
Very soon, bitcoins will be available in almost all post offices in Austria. About 1800 items agreed to participate in the experiment. Thanks to the partnership with the BitPanda service, users can directly exchange euros for bitcoins. In addition, other crypto-currencies will be added. At the moment we know for sure about the support of the Efirium, there is no official information on other crypto-currencies yet.
Users will be able to purchase crypto currency for three fixed amounts - 50, 100 or 500 euros. Information on smaller amounts has not yet been reported. In the post office users will be able to purchase vouchers for crypto currency. After that, the code is activated on the BitPanda site. It is expected that such a model will attract more attention to the crypto currency.
The choice of BitPanda as a partner is not accidental. Austrian postal services consider this company one of the largest crypto-currency platforms in the country. In addition, the decision was influenced by the fact that the company is located in Vienna. In total, the platform serves more than 300,000 users and hopes to increase the volume of transactions to 200 million euros. The goal is ambitious, but quite achievable.
As the popularity of crypto currency, such programs bring more and more positive results. The fact that the postal service will participate in the process of buying bitcoin and other crypto currency is very revealing. Will this service be in demand, time will tell. However, it is obvious that Austria can become a very interesting region for crypto-currencies.
