Bitwage Streamlines Bitcoin Payroll with Casa, Edge – Bitcoin Magazine
- Bitwage has partnered with two Bitcoin wallet providers to streamline the onboarding process.
- Casa and Edge Wallet helped Bitwage develop a user interface to integrate each of the wallets into its payment platform.
- These partnerships will allow Bitwage to automate the process of onboarding businesses from start to finish.
Bitwage, a bitcoin payroll provider, is partnering with Bitcoin security company Casa and Edge Wallet to ease the process of introducing businesses to a Bitcoin standard, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine.
In the release, Bitwage explains that through conversations with governments and businesses, one of the leading obstacles to bitcoin as a wage alternative is how to educate employees about Bitcoin. Bitwage used to ask its users to provide the address of the bitcoin wallet they wanted to receive the payment to.
The company noted that the process of copying and pasting an address may be easy for those familiar with the ecosystem, but it can seem downright intimidating to someone just entering the space.
“Finally, users can eliminate the need to copy and paste addresses between apps and websites when they need to request crypto in their wallet,” said Paul Puey, CEO and co-founder of Edge Wallet.
The new partnership with Casa and Edge will allow users to choose one of the two bitcoin wallets from the initial setup. This will allow Bitwage to guide its users from start to finish in a fully automated process.
“Education is a very important part of the Bitwage experience, and part of that experience is helping our users understand wallets while teaching them how to be their own bank,” said Jonathan Chester, CEO of Bitwage.
“Edge and Casa are two of the best and most secure wallets on the market,” he continued. “Our partnership with these wallets is just the beginning of our journey to educate millions of workers around the world about bitcoin, cryptocurrency and stablecoins and what it means to get paid in these currencies.”
The two wallet providers helped Bitwage through the development process and enabled a seamless integration for a better user experience. Major changes were made to the user interface and a QR code provides immediate access to the selected wallet.
“We’re excited about this seamless integration that makes it easier and safer for Bitwage users to hold their bitcoin keys, protecting them from many of the security risks we’ve seen highlighted in our industry this year,” said Christian Wallin , VP of Product and design in Casa.
