Bitbank Offers More Bitcoin Choices for Japanese Businesses

Japan’s fast-growing digital currency sector has another new player, a multi-service bitcoin company called Bitbank that aims to capitalize on the country’s existing love of both online shopping and electronic payments in physical stores.
The company says its motto is ‘Bitcoin for Everyone’ and its feature list now includes a wallet service, a ‘Bitbank Register’ service for local payments at local restaurants, and ‘Bitbank Pay’ specifically for online businesses.
Fees and accounts Bitbank Pay is available to merchants for payments as low as 10 (approx. $0.10), with no monthly fees and transaction fees from 0 – 1.5%. There are more premium services available on its ‘business’ and ‘premium’ plans. Additionally, many fees for those plans are waived or heavily reduced during Bitbank Pay’s introductory period.
