Tal stated: “Converting cryptocurrency to fiat money and sending it to your existing bank card through our regulated e-wallet platform provides customers with a quick and easy way to access their funds worldwide.”

Users can register for the service through a process involving an ID card, mobile number and proof of address. They will then be able to make cryptocurrency payments in order to withdraw fiat currency via a Visa card.
