Saifu, a licensed payment service provider, announced today that they teamed up with cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer, Tangem. The joint offering of Tangem and Saifu will give customers an opportunity to use crypto payments as easily as fiat ones.
As a licensed financial institution providing online banking as a service (PSP in Europe + API in the UK), Saifu allows clients to make transactions in digital assets in a conventional way with no additional fees, thus making crypto payments as convenient and available as fiat.

Tangem delivers bank-grade security to the cryptocurrency world, ensuring that the cryptographic keys cryptocurrencies depend on, are created, managed and stored most securely.
