Airbitz integrates Bity as wallet plug-in, enables buy and sell bitcoin capabilities in Europe

Airbitz Inc, a San Diego-based bitcoin wallet and data security company, has partnered with Bity, a Swiss Bitcoin exchange that allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies with Euros and Swiss Francs.


With this partnership, Airbitz users with European bank accounts will be able to buy and sell bitcoin through the Airbitz Wallet easily, cheaply, and securely. Airbitz already provides buy/sell bitcoin capabilities for its users with US bank accounts.

According to the official release, Bity will be a plug-in application inside the Airbitz wallet allowing Airbitz users to buy and sell Bitcoin with Euros and Swiss Francs. The integration is included in the latest release, v 2.4.1, available in iOS and Android.

“This is just one of many of our wallet’s capabilities and a glimpse into the future of money. Airbitz is laser focused on making bitcoin very real, usable, and practical for billions of users all over the globe. We will be expanding our buy/sell plug-ins for more currencies and geographies over-time depending on market demand and resources”, Airbitz said in its official release. “We’re excited to partner with Bity, an excellent exchange, and look forward to helping users all over Europe interact with bitcoin and other digital assets.”

In a blog post, Airbitz said that besides allowing users to buy bitcoin with Euros and Swiss Francs, its previous partnership with Glidera will enable it to be used as a remittance application by those who hold European and US bank accounts between themselves, their friends, or family. This means that an Airbitz user can now buy bitcoin with Euros or Swiss Francs through Bity, and then send those bitcoins to family or to a friend in the U.S. and that person can quickly sell the bitcoin for dollars through Glidera.

“A remittance transfer from Europe to the United States and vice versa can be done quickly, CHEAPLY, securely, and privately all within the Airbitz wallet without us ever having access to your money or information. This is truly a very powerful concept and practical use case of the Airbitz wallet”, Airbitz added.
