Major US Grocery Chain Kroger Ditches Visa, Discusses Accepting Bitcoin.
I Heard That You are Ditching Visa.
Major US grocery chain Kroger recently banned Visa from a regional supermarket in protest of the payment processor’s “excessive transaction fees,” announcing that hundreds of stores and fueling stations would halt Visa payments in April. However, the story has taken a surprising turn, with Kroger representatives reportedly considering Bitcoin’s Lightning Network as one potential alternative payment system.
Kroger stated on March 1 that 142 supermarkets and 108 fuel center locations would stop accepting Visa by April 3 in order to maintain low prices for customers.
In Every Decision Lies an Opportunity.
I believe this is an opportunity for companies like Aeryus to shine. Did you know Aeryus ChainPayments could be what you are looking for? Benefits like no more excessive fees, super fast transactions, customers could use the currency they prefer and no worries that the card processing companies can raise their fees at any time.
What are Aeryus ChainPayments?
Aeryus ChainPayments makes using digital currency for any kind of payment transaction a snap.
Whether sending money to someone, splitting the check, or purchasing something online or instore—
it’s as easy as using a debit card except it’s faster, it’s borderless and way more secure.
Whatever currency you own, Aeryus ChainPayments converts it to your payee’s currency, even selecting the most economical currency you own if you own more than one. And it’s so simple:
Select who to pay
Tap in the amount
Tap send and you’re done!
Confirmation is instantaneous with no middleman or central authority managing or monitoring your transactions.
I Propose That the Kroger Team Work Closely with the Aeryus Team.
If you choose to not work with the Aeryus team I will be thrilled if you choose a crypto company to help fix this issue. It is time for an alternative to Visa and Mastercard to emerge.
Bold move! I hope they see your post :)
