UK Firm Corporate Traveller now accepts Bitcoin Payments

[YuginKadoya]

Well this may take Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies another step in the popularity and will surely make an upstart for people to pursue it again and brought an even larger demand with the services and platform of this kind of transaction and I think this could lead to making other people that don't really use Cryptocurrency as a paying method can become curious and at the same time interested with the convenience and security of this kind of services, Well that is just my thoughts and lets just wait for further reports about it.

Listing businesses that are "adopting" bitcoin is so 2013ish-2014ish as far as the forum is concerned.
Those finance nutheads with swanky offices in London calling themselves, rather humbly, bankers and traders are amongst the first buyers of Bitcoin.

Back wehn the craze swept in 2014-15, these same people would have been the first one to lap up cheap bitcoins. It is an irony now that they get to spend them in royal vacations, that too in the name of "corporate travelling"..😊😊

Well, any usage is good usage. Good for them..

This is pretty cool.

A lot of people see traveling as the ultimate measure of success when it comes to business/jobs online and the fact that this UK firm accepts it then it's extremely cool. It's only for business though according to what they say but that is a really huge difference because only that could bring a lot of capital to the cause.

Let's wait until more follow. Even if unstable for now and possibly some years, the more it is accepted, the more people that will use it. Me among them.

It's great to see that more and more merchants accepting bitcoin as payment method.
Recently I heard that one company in my country solved problems which many people, who rent holiday apartments, had with young guests.
They often asked them if is possible payment in bitcoin but they couldn't accept it because on the end of day they must deposit fiat money in the bank.
In this company they have found a solution to this problem.
They have developed a special application through which guests pay with bitcoin, conversion is made in the app for the current bitcoin rate and the owner of the apartments on their bank account receive fiat money.
Such innovative solutions and applications will further expand the use of bitcoins in the real world.

That my friend is NOT Bitcoin adoption, but rather a channel for Bitcoin to be drained back to Fiat currencies. You do not accept Bitcoin when you make use of some Payment processor.    We are buying from millions of merchants via Payment processors and these people destroy Bitcoin's original use case, by having to trade through 3rd parties and effectively destroying people's pseudo anonymity in the process.

This is nothing to be happy about, because existing Bitcoin hoarders are just going to use these services and then those bitcoins will find their way back onto the supply side and consequently pushing down the price, due to a increase in the supply.

Always good to see companies incorporating bitcoin into their payment systems but I’ve never heard of them tbh. Little steps are always good though on the route to widespread mainstream adoption.

[hyunee]

Never heard of this so called "Corporate Traveller" but still this is consider as an adoption in UK. It's a great news for all of us,  not only in UK. We wanted mass adoption of bitcoin with everybody that is living in this world. I don't know about this company but still if it is a small company, adoption starts at that rate.

More and more companies start accepting bitcoin in the last months and now it seems like big companies have noticed this is the trend right now and they have also added it to their payment methods. Now let's hope people are actually going to use bitcoin for this kind of services otherwise companies will notice there is no demand for it and they will probably remove it

It's good that they listened to the wishes of their customers. I'm always happy when there is such news, because I'm always interested to know about the places where you can pay crypto.

Corporate Traveller, the largest travel management firm in the United Kingdom has now started accepting Bitcoin (BTC) for payments. The news was announced by a press release on April 15.

The firm has also partnered with BitPay for making crypto payments possible. Andy Hegley, U.K. General Manager at Corporate Traveller said:

“We identified an increasing demand from our clients for the option to pay in bitcoin for business travel bookings made by our travel consultants. We chose BitPay to manage our merchant processing because they make it easy and handle the entire process of getting the Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash from the customer and depositing cash into our account.”

I love this news and it is take us all to right way (global adption)
It is a large company with a huge business volume and has several international clients and different incomes levels
I hope btc is the best option for them to spread the idea strongly.

A travel support community will be having worldwide accessibility. Now as they've begun to accept bitcoin, surely it'll reach similar service renders in the neighboring countries. Now each and every activity that helps with the direct usage of bitcoin needs to be appreciated, because it is not a simple thing, it needs good trust without which one cannot succeed accepting bitcoin into business.

[DreamStage]

We are seeing a much more acceptance with Bitcoins in every world wide companies
This is very good as we can also state that the fact these companies embrass bitcoin into their new payment systems more and more people will invest / buy / sell in Bitcoin which means bigger price for everyone.
I'm so happy about Corporate Traveller as i have been using it for such long time.
Let's see if that will make the company even better.

this is quite good news in the travel industry. we all know that there are a lot of travel-related projects here but none of them succeeded with their goals yet. they are still being traded in exchanges but haven't seen the actual usage in the travel industry. at least this company is starting to accept bitcoin. and maybe later on, they will create their own coin also when they found out that having their own cryptocurrency will give them a lot of benefits. but for now, this is great news for travellers that don't want to carry cash in their pockets. just few taps from their phone or laptop, they are good to go.

So there must be really lots of people who's eager to use bitcoin as payment for travels for them to accept it. Bitcoin is really going mainstream nowadays. But and also Bitcoin Cash??

It is going on mainstream and the idea of bitcoin being used only for illegal activities is starting to break. About bitcoin cash? don't talk about it, they are just riding the popularity of bitcoin.

I agree bitcoin's name is slowly being cleaned. I will hodl more!

[bitcoindusts]

Another use of bitcoin. This news if it is true will be an additional to bitcoin’s foundation and reliability. Great to know that there are more and more big companies trusting bitcoin and another option for bitcoin holders who cannot easily convert their coins into fiat if they need to travel. So the price for sure in not fix in bitcoin but will always be based on the current value of bitcoin in fiat.

It's really great that bitcoin now accepted in offline transaction. Now many companies, firms are accept bitcoin in their financial activities. Bitcoin using for pay bills, buying goods, for payment and many ways. It's really good for the UK that their firm corporate traveller now accepts bitcoin payments. That's great for these people whose are using bitcoin.
