Tech company Aave is bringing cryptocurrency another step closer to mainstream adoption with the launch today of Aave Pay, an app through which consumers can use a wide range of digital currency holdings to pay their bills.
Cryptocurrency holders can use their crypto for all of their expenses: Aave Pay is accepted wherever bank transfers are accepted.
The app is also business friendly: it can be used to pay employee salaries, income taxes, and other commercial or corporate expenses, directly into fiat-based accounts.

It addresses crypto’s spendability problem and builds a bridge for crypto to cross over into mainstream use.”[/perfectpullquote]
Easily accessible on a mobile phone and on the web, Aave Pay is simple, direct and user-friendly. Users can simply visit Aave Pay, select which cryptocurrency they want to use, the amount of fiat currency (USD, EUR, CHF, GBP, AUD, INR) they want to transfer and specify the recipient’s International Bank Account Number (IBAN). Once this information is set, Aave Pay calculates a competitive exchange rate, alerts the user of the final cost, then automatically sends the payment to the recipient’s bank account.

Cryptocurrency holders can now start spending. Users can choose from twelve coins to use as payment: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Ripple, Monero, Litecoin, Zcash, Dash, Lumen, Bitcoin Cash, DAI and LEND.
