Cashila.com - Receive paycheck in Bitcoin. Pay bills, Send and Receive Money. Fast.

Hello everyone,

We've been around for more than a year, made more than 1,000,000 EUR of transfers for our clients, but haven't really introduced ourselves to this wonderful community.
We are Cashila. Feel free to check us out :)


About Cashila.com (https://www.cashila.com)

Cashila (https://www.cashila.com) is the first and so far the only company licensed for processing bitcoin payments in Europe.

Cashila enables people with Bitcoin to spend them on whatever they can imagine. They can send EUR to any bank account in Europe and all they need is Bitcoin.


Cashila, replacing traditional bank accounts

• accept euro payments: receive euros, keep funds in the account, convert to bitcoin and send to a bitcoin wallet or to any SEPA bank account
• accept bitcoin payments: bitcoins convert to euros as soon as they hit Cashila account. Feature for merchants who want to offer the option of bitcoin payment but would prefer to keep income in euros.

FAQ

Can I wire my money to all world countries?

For now, no. You can use bill payment service or transfer funds to you bank accounts in countries, where euro is the official currency.

Eurozone consists of 19 countries: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.

Can Cashila be used only for EU residents?

No. You can live anywhere in the world, except of Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea or New York State.

Can I receive money from a country that doesn’t have the euro, for example USA?

Yes, you can.
In case you are receiveing money from an multicurrency bank account, the money will be automaticly converted to EUR at your Cashila account.

If you are receiveing money from a euro bank account in that country, euros will be transferred. The procedure is the same as within the Eurozone.

For more questions, check our FAQ (https://www.cashila.com/faq).

Reserved for future updates.

Yes you should adding skrill  with low fees of course.

Do you send payments to payoneer account via SEPA? I know payoneer accepts sepa payments.

Thank you for your comment. We are actively looking for ways for us to add new payment options. Hopefully Skrill will be one in the near future :)
Will keep you posted!


Hmm.. Never had a case like that.
But if you can get hold of Payoneer's IBAN bank account number with the proper reference to your account, it shouldn't be a problem. It's a bank transfer like any other.

Yes thanks.. If you don't add skrill. I can not use your service. Because i don't come from SEPA area. And your service just for SEPA area. You can not go international  :D

We'll defenitely look into that option :)
Expanding outside Europe is our priority, but since we are licenced by the Czech National Bank and regulated, we can do only SEPA for now.

Still, you can use our service as your personal online bank, keep your funds safe, and convert them to bitcoins whenever you wish or maybe transfer them to a friend who lives in Europe ;)

Awsome service, it really is a bridge between Bitcoin and fiat. Great for these times, when Bitcoin is not yet widely adapted.

This service is amazing. Just by registering with an email, you get 1,000 EUR transfers per year. With Tier 1 you get 15,000/month and Tier 2 50,000/month. Tier 1 requires a scan of a personal document, and Tier 2 also requires a proof of address.

The UI is extremely user friendly, simple and elegant, it actually couldn't be better! I'm only missing an export function, hopefully they will implement that too. Otherwise it's all very well organized, and you receive email notifications on each successful transaction (you can also disable this if you want).

Security wise, they offer 2FA on login, not yet on sending funds, but they told me they will implement it. They also paired up with the Trezor team so you can pay bills directly from your Trezor (or from Mycelium). They also offer an API but I'm not technical enough to need/know much about that.

For those asking about Skrill, Skrill only accepts SEPA deposits to your Skrill account from a bank account in your name, Cashila cannot offer this even if they wanted to. As for Payoneer, they accept SEPA deposits from registered EU companies or something like that, so this might be possible and you might want to take a look, wisecoin. To send to Payoneer, you need to enter a unique reference on the SEPA deposit, which Cashila already supports, so all that's missing is Cashila "registering" with Payoneer or something.

And this is one of the reasons why Cashila is so awesome, they accept deposits from any bank account and you can send to any bank account too, they do not have to be in your name (pay bills, friends, whatever). This is the best thing that happened for freelancers, EVER! Well, it's limited to Eurozone users now, so lucky us, but hopefully they will expand globally soon, and maybe it'll be possible if they team up with Payoneer? Of course you can also receive and send bitcoins, so you can get paid by someone with SEPA, then you transfer those funds to your bitcoin wallet, and you can avoid getting robbed from your government at the end of the year, if you know what I mean, *wink wink* ;) However, if you're selling on the darknet, they probably do not allow users who make exclusively bitcoin->SEPA transactions non-stop, since they are licensed and regulated and must follow AML/KYC rules.

They are also the first company that received a banking license (from the Czech National Bank) to handle bitcoin transactions in the EU, so you can absolutely trust them with your money, they are not some shady individuals, their information is public and you can look them up too.

Also, I don't know for how long this will last, but for every person you refer (and verifies I assume), your next 500€ worth of transactions will be without fees (which is only 1% for incoming transactions, outgoing are without fees anyway).

I definitely recommend this service, no doubt about it.

wisecoin sent me a PM:

http://s28.postimg.org/pzpmlxygt/Untitled.png
Translated, it says:

So no, I was not paid to write it, I honestly like their service, and seeing how it was made by my countrymen (from a tiny country called Slovenia), just like Bitstamp, that's one more reason for me to like it. :)

site looks good, simple UI, might use it after i check the fees  ;D

some more trusted reviews from cashila users??? i am interrested but also cautious.

You should add a tag to the thread title saying this is for EU. Unless you do USD as well and just don't reference it?

Cautiosness is ok. I suggest to easily try us by transfering for example 1 EUR (we had people transfering even less), to you bank account or pay a small amount utility bill - and see if it went through. For up to 1,000 euros, we don't require any verification.



You can send funds to your account from all over the world, even in USD. Funds transfered to your account at Cashila will be automaticly converted to EUR. For now we offer wire transfers (bill payments or to your bank account) only for EU countries, that is correct - but are actively developing a solution that will allow payments elswhere.
Our customers can be residents from all over the world (check our FAQ (https://www.cashila.com/faq)).

But thanks for your comment, will add it into the description!


@f3tus: Thanks for your wonderful review! :)

Ahhh, interesting! That means they're subject to volatility between the conversions, right? (EUR/USD, for example)

Does your bank offer debit cards or check cards and if so do they work in the US?

Since our bank account handles only EUR, all funds transferred (even bitcoin), will be converted to euros. When sending to another bank account, the local bank can convert the receiving euros to their local currency, so volatility can be present.


No, we currently don't have debit cards - but are looking into this option. Will post here when we do :)

There's a neat guide on our blog on how to easily receive payments from people around the world. We have a new feature for that :)

Go and read all about it here:
https://blog.cashila.com/2016/01/12/receiving-payments-from-across-the-globe-is-now-easier-than-ever/

For those asking - how to try Cashila for free?
Just PM me with your registered email and i will credit you the 500 EUR zero-fee transfer bonus!

Want more?
Register and invite your friends to Cashila – you will both get 500 EUR of fee-free transfers. More friends, more fee-free transfers. No upper limit there.

Mycelium Wallet’s latest update (January 14, 2016) makes pairing the mobile wallet with Cashila more intuitive and faster – you can now log-in directly from the app. The second thing: everyone using Cashila via Mycelium wallet gets zero fee on the first 1,000 EUR they transfer!

You can read more about it on our blog:
https://blog.cashila.com/2016/01/19/smoother-and-fee-free-payments-for-mycelium-wallet-users/

This is a very good service but it will surely be greater if it can serve other nations and not limited to SEPA bank account.

Do you have personal experience with using the service?

Not really because i am not from SEPA countries but i fancied the adverts and i wish it could be extended world wide.

So after all - is this real or another scam? Are here any users that have used this service more than once with positive experiences? Thanks.

Started using Cashila in March 2015 and continued using it ever since. works really nice and fast, the UI is clear, i receive cryptographically signed emails with transaction confirmations, can always see all my history on the dashboard, when paying for the same utility bills every month, all data is already there, I just need to add the exact amount to pay... scan the QR code and that is that!

never had any problems.

Cashila also offers the referral programme, so since i invited a few friends, each of us received EUR 500,- free in fees (which lasts for quite a while, if the bills are not too many or too high)... If you wanna register via my referral link, be my guest, win-win for both of us: http://csh.la/1QOMHNG

I only used it for paying bills and many might say it works like online banking, yes, that is true, but you can pay with bitcoins, and i believe this feature is worth supporting... I did not tried any other features yet - receiving payments, etc.

Here my Cashila dashboard with last payments:
https://i.imgur.com/mdQQnxQ.png?1

So all in all, i can highly recommend it (especially if you prefer to support bitcoin community and emerging start-ups from that community, instead of paying fees to bankers).

***Side note: I believe it is valuable to use bitcoin in day-to-day situations / for payments, but i do not like seeing my stash diminished, so I am at the same time using Reload - https://reload.bitnik.eu - a service we developed primely for our BTM business - welcome to check it out, if you find any usability for it, it is free of charge...

Here my reloaded bitcoins (for all Cashila payments, see for reference):

Cheerio...

Hello, very interesting startup. I wanted to ask: What does the 500 transfer bonus exactly means? Does it mean 500 eur of discount in transfer fees or does it mean 500 eur bonus to account? that would be huge!

Cashila charges 1% fee on incoming transactions. With the bonus, you can transfer the first 500 EUR with zero fees... so no, it does not mean you get that value added to your account. agreed, that would be huge  ;D 8)

Of course not - it would have been too good to be true. People would have hundreds of accounts. LOL

With the integration of SOFORT Banking, a payment system which allows you to instantly top up your account from a number of European banks by directly transferring funds, you are now able to buy that bitcoin straight away.

You can read more about it on our blog:
https://blog.cashila.com/2016/01/26/with-the-help-of-sofort-banking-you-can-now-buy-bitcoin-instantly/

Or in the News: http://cointelegraph.com/news/cashila-buy-bitcoin-sofort-sepa

Anybody used Cashila to pay bill in the UK? Is it supported?

Yes, sending funds to UK is supported!

The issue might arise when converting to GBP by the receiving bank. Since all our payments are done with EUR, we can not guarantee the final amount received to a non-EUR bank account.
If your sending money to friends/family and you are not concerned about the final amount that they receive, there shouldnt be a problem. But when paying bills, you must take into consideration that sometimes you can overpay that bill, but also underpay, due to the exchange rate the UK bank uses.

We believe in the bitcoin economy as a whole - and the need for users to spread the word and use their coins as much as they can. That is why we have joined forces with Bitnik Reload (https://reload.bitnik.eu/) to bring a solution for the community to truly live on bitcoin (and rebuy it on-the-fly). The new partnership enables users to make fast and simple payments with Cashila, while automatically repurchasing all bitcoin spendings from an exchange of your choice.

Where are you based in Europe? Should I be looking for anonymity in a bank? This seems like an interesting idea, and I wish you good luck in your service.

Great question!

We are based in Czech Republic, where we got our payment license from the Czech National Bank. Our customers can be however based all around the world, but we do bitcoin-to-bank (or bank-to-bank) transfers only in Europe.

We respect our customers privacy and we don't share any data with third parties.
For true anonymity you can use our services for up to 1,000 EUR of bank transfers with only an email. For higher transfers we require ID.

If you are based in Czech Republic, why is this (http://who.is/whois/cashila.com/) saying that you are based in Sofia, BG(if you google it, it would say Bulgaria), oh and when I mean anonymy, I mean that should I trust an unknown bank with my money?

That info is correct.
We have a company also in Bulgaria since we were accepted in Launchub, a startup accelerator in Sofia (you can check their portfolio here (http://launchub.com/portfolio/)) where we got our initial startup investment. There is where we firstly registered our domain :)

We are a company licensed as a payment institution. You can view the license issued by the Czech National Bank here (https://apl.cnb.cz/apljerrsdad/JERRS.WEB10.VIZITKA?p_lang=en&p_SEQ_ID=10690732&p_VER_ID=1000&p_DATUM=25.05.2016&p_ROL_KOD=) (with our company details). The link is also on our website.
As a licensed company we are obliged to follow the Czech law and we are also fully backed by their National Bank.

So you are operating in Czech right? If so, your Sofia portfolio says you  are operating from Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Yes, the team, as well as the founders, are indeed Slovenian and our main operations are done from Ljubljana as noted on our wiki page (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Cashila). We regularly organize events here in the local community :)

We first wanted to get the banking license in Slovenia, but here the National Bank didn't really support bitcoin ideas. You must understand, that the banking world is still much cautious regarding bitcoin. Luckily, after a lot of effort and many meetings, the Czech National Bank gave the green light. That is why the main company behind Cashila is based in Czech and we follow the Czech banking legislation.

Hope that solves yours questions, let me know if there's anything else :)

Feel free to try Cashila (http://www.cashila.com) out. Or our new Ethereum platform - ICONOMI (http://www.iconomi.net).

Alright then, that's all the questions I have. Good luck with your service and have a nice day.

I have a question about your service. If bitcoins are payed in the account and afterwards a sepa transfer is payed out, whos name will be displayed as sender of the bank transfer? Is it the name of your company or the cashila account holders name?

The sender is always our company, namely CASHILA OOD S.R.O.
The account holders info is submitted in the "reference/purpose" field (with the reference if you input any), but only it the account is verified with us.

What grade of verification is nessesary to be able to input a reference message?

Anyone can input the reference message (for example the reference number on your GSM bill), no need for verification for this :)
Additional account data is submitted when you verify for Tier 1 or more.

Here's a screenshot of the submit fields available:

https://i.imgur.com/8MxdfKx.png

verification of account is a shit
ask to skype video chat and to my friends ask pic with card
coinbase and bitstamp localbitcoin dont need this
more soft and quick

Is this official Cashila thread?

think yes

So Cashila is affiliated with Iconomi?

Yes, both ICONOMI (http://www.iconomi.net) and Cashila (http://www.cashila.net) are projects led by the same team.
If you scroll down on the ICONOMI page there's a banner saying "Powered by Cashila" ;)

https://i.imgur.com/9dZjMu8.png

Do you allow unverified accounts to be accessed by Tor browser or do these get blocked when the IP changes?

Had time to test the service now and i have to say that these guys are doing a good job!
All payments done fast and with a high grade of professionality! 😊

is there anyone still using this? I don't think there's anyone in support. :(

they are dead
