AlfaEgo and Coinbase Commerce
AlfaEgo is integrated with global cryptocurrency-based payment platform, Coinbase Commerce, to facilitate transactions in Bitcoins, Ethereum and Litecoin. All payments done using the Coinbase commerce platform are done on-chain. This means that the transactions are recorded in real-time in their respective cryptocurrency blockchain network. A bitcoin transaction done on AlfaEgo is directly transferred to Bitcoins ledger for validation and authentication. Dependency on the blockchain network eliminates any instance of fraud or corruption. Customers on AlfaEgo can, therefore, be rest assured that their transactions are safe, secure and anonymous. Coinbase commerce accounts are also separated from standard Coinbase accounts. Coinbase commerce integration will, therefore, only act as a mechanism for accepting cryptocurrency and in no way can the merchant access customer information.
In a statement, the company’s CFO Basalath Ali stated “This integration allows AlfaEgo to access a global clientele and retain a seamless system for cross-border payments. Customers can, therefore, benefit from low transaction fees, unlike when they have to use fiat exchange platforms to convert their cryptos to fiat. Currently, plans are under-way to accept more cryptocurrencies in the near future, further broadening their scope of reach.”

With low transaction fees, increased transaction speed, peer to peer exchange, incentive rewarding an enhanced security, cryptocurrency payments are the way of the future. The repercussions for AlfaEgo bold step to take the lead in this space remains to be seen. But so far the evidence from market analysis of retailers that have adopted cryptocurrency payments successfully shows that the odds are largely tilted on AlfaEgo’s favor.
