Q: What is KuCoin Pay?
Nick: KuCoin Pay is KuCoin's latest crypto payment solution that makes it super easy for users and businesses to send and accept payments in crypto instantly and securely. We launched it because we've seen a growing demand for people wanting to actually use their crypto in real life, not just hold it. So KuCoin Pay is part of our bigger mission to drive mainstream crypto adoption and make it useful in everyday life. It’s an exciting step forward for KuCoin and the crypto world!
Q: How does KuCoin Pay benefit users and merchants?
Nick: For users, KuCoin Pay is all about making payments fast, easy and cheap. You can pay directly from your KuCoin account balance, with no middleman and lower fees. For merchants, it's a great opportunity to tap into a global audience—our KuCoin ecosystem has more than 35+ million users! Plus it's super easy to set up, supports multiple cryptos, and gives businesses a way to accept payments in a way that is secure and future-proof. It's really a win-win for everyone!
