Paychant, the largest cryptocurrency payment gateway in Nigeria, today announced it has launched a new and innovative way to request money in digital currency.

Paychant users will be able to set up a payment link, which can then be shared with people via text message, email, social media, on instant messenger, or anywhere else, just as a way to request money in cryptocurrency.

“As digital currencies have shown to be the most reliable means for frictionless cross-border payments, facilitating fast transactions with low fees in Africa, we needed to simplify its peer-to-peer payments system, and make it easy and intuitive to receive crypto-payment with just a simple personalized URL” The company explained.
