Bitcoin Exchange Igot Expands to Over 40 Countries

Australia-based igot has announced the next phase of its bid to be the “fastest-growing bitcoin exchange in the world”, opening for business in over 40 countries including the entire European Union and parts of the Middle East and Africa.
CEO Rick Day told CoinDesk the exchange has “solid banking relationships” in the EU, saying there are now over 100 banking options for users to choose from.
As well as the EU, igot indicated that it has also secured a partnership in Kenya and will launch there in the very near future. Kenyan customers will able to cash out from their igot accounts directly to the country’s M-Pesa mobile payment system.
Customers in all 40 of igot’s serviced countries, Day said, have full access to all exchange features, including the ability to deposit and withdraw from their local banks. The only service not available outside Australia at this point is the popular bill-payment service which accesses the country’s BPAY network.
