MIAMI, Aug. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BankLine and B4U Financial have partnered to integrate B4U’s proprietary global digital currency payment solution into licensed cannabis-related businesses’ existing Point of Sale (POS) systems across the U.S.
A Seamless Digital Payments Solution
The B4U payment network easily integrates with an existing POS via API or may operate as an independent solution.
B4U’s retail-centric POS digital currency payment network operates seamlessly on any internet-connected device, computer, tablet, or mobile phone, providing convenience for consumers to use Bitcoin for in-store, online, curbside, and home delivery payments. The “Text To Pay” feature allows customers a convenient, secure, and simple mechanism to collect outstanding balances by allowing clients to pay instantly, including a gratuity, from any device.
Advantages to the Retailer
- Attracts a key demographic wishing to conduct transactions with digital currency
- Fees charged to the customer
- No interchange charges to the retailer
- No chargebacks
- Eliminates cash transactions
- Bitcoin can be used as payment when Visa and MasterCard can not
- Settlements are guaranteed
- Settlements can be made in fiat or digital currency
- Comprehensive reporting through the B4U portal
- Complete tracking by POS operator, store, division, state, country, etc.
Advantages to the Consumer
- Eliminate the need to liquidate Bitcoin via an exchange
- Reduce conversion fees to customer
- Providing a “peer-to-peer” transaction removes the customer’s tax implication if they were to convert their Bitcoin via an exchange and then use USD for payment
Bitcoin Gift Cards
B4U also offers a Bitcoin gift card which can be sent via email or text from a crypto ATM terminal, online or smartphone to a recipient anywhere in the world (excluding sanctioned countries).
Robust Reporting Portal
B4U provides merchants a robust reporting portal to ensure proper tracking of sales, payments, terminal ID, and additional information vital to their back office.
Implications For Medical Cannabis
In addition to medical cannabis, the U.S. continues to legalize the adult use of cannabis, now available in over 7,000 state-regulated dispensaries across the United States.
As digital currencies and cannabis continue to flourish, B4U’s POS solution delivers a comprehensive payment mechanism for retailers, growers and consumers.
