DISH communicates
"We have added Bitcoin Cash just when we chose to accept Bitcoin to serve customers who have adopted a new way of doing business," said John Swieringa, executive vice president and COO of DISH. "We have a constant volume of customers who pay with cryptocurrencies every month, and BitPay will allow us to continue offering more options and convenience to our customers.
Our goal for DISH Network is a smooth transition to BitPay, so all customers who currently pay for services with Bitcoin still have the option to pay with Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cas. Cryptocurrency is an increasingly popular way for consumers to shop online, since it reduces credit card fraud and is cheaper for merchants. "
The company is migrating from its old payment processor with which they accepted Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash to a more recent and easy to use one provided by BitPay.
