Bitwage cofounder, Jonathan Chester, describes Bitwage having witnessed significant growth in cryptocurrency adoption during 2017. “With the recent interest in digital currencies over the last year, there has been tremendous growth in users who want to receive their wages in or through digital currency. Some users understand the potential for faster and cheaper cross border wage payments, while others are just looking to speculate. Now, we have unlocked the potential for this growing base of users to receive their wages from 18 new currencies.”
Bitwage has Expanded Its European Presence During 2017
Bitwage was founded in 2013, and since July of 2014, has transacted over $30m in 
transactions with over 18,000 users. During 2017, the company has been focussed on expanding into international markets, particularly European nations. The company has headquarters located in both Silicon Valley and Paris, France.
In July of this year, Bitwage announced that it had entered the UK market. In a blog post on the company’s website, Jonathan Chester stated “for workers in the UK, this now means you are able to have more diversity in how you would like to receive your wages. You can split your wages at any percentage between many different bank accounts and digital wallets.” Earlier this year Bitwage also introduced Unique IBAN numbers for its users living in the European Union.
