Australian bitcoin exchange igot is looking to Kenya for its next stage of growth.

The Adelaide-founded startup recently acquired Kenyan crytpocurrency exchange and remittance gateway TagPesa. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. In addition the startup has launched a new merchant feature that allows businesses to accept bitcoin payments from anywhere in the world, and have them quickly converted to a fiat currency. Merchants pay a 0.5% transaction fee.
