The future is here?

Multicurrency payment solution Bitcoin and Euro mobile wallet?

Launched by tech start-up venture Paymium with its banking partner Aqoba, Paytunia is the first bitcoin-enabled Euro payment solution designed to operate as a mobile e-wallet capable of sending and receiving payments in Euros or Bitcoins.

"Paymium will isolate customers and merchants from any conversion rate risk by leveraging Bitcoin-Central, a bitcoin trading platform also operated by Paymium and fully integrated with Paytunia. Thanks to the agreement with Aqoba, funds deposited in Euro to Paytunia or Bitcoin-Central (bitcoin trading platform integrated with Paytunia) will enjoy the same level of legal protection as any other bank account in France. The Paytunia Pro version enables merchant to present shoppers with a standard bitcoin QR code to receive payments in Euros or Bitcoins: by virtue of the free software nature of Bitcoin, the tablet and smartphone application does not require the customer to be registered with Paytunia. By accepting any bitcoin-compatible application, Paytunia Pro solves the interoperability issue that has plagued mobile wallet developments until today. Payments in Euro are processed through the Bitcoin network."
