Cryptocurrency investors and traders on the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange platform, Binance, can now order rides on the app and pay in any cryptocurrency of their choice.
To achieve this, Splyt, a global superapp enabler partnered with Binance to offer the company’s over 90 million users spread across 150 countries access to ride-hailing services and experiences within the Binance app.
The two companies announced the partnership in a joint statement obtained by Investors King on Tuesday.
With the new partnership, Binance users will be able to order rides on the Binance marketplace and make payments via any cryptocurrency of their choice without the need to convert to fiat. Also, Binance users will be able to seamlessly access and complete the transaction using Binance Pay without the need to download another app for payment or having to keep multiple usernames and passwords.
Splyt’s network covers over 150 countries and offers more than 300,000 trips, tickets, and things to do globally. The on-demand network is already accessible to billions of global smartphone users, through existing partnerships with Alipay, Grab, Booking.com and other leading superapps.
Splyt technology will help Binance reduce integration complexity with other superapp partners, support local languages conversion and provide global customer support. This means that users can comfortably use their favourite superapp seamlessly – whether at home or while travelling.
Speaking on the partnership, Philipp Mintchin, Co-founder and CEO of Splyt said “We’re thrilled to partner with Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, as it pioneers the integration of ridehailing and experiences, and evolves into a true superapp. Furthermore, Binance’s 90 million users will become an incredibly strong demand partner for our network of ridehailing and experience providers.”
For Binance, Pakning Luk, Regional Head of Business Development for Binance Pay has this to say “Binance Pay is proud to be partnering with Splyt globally as we expand our offering to our user base. Without leaving the Binance App, Pay users have the full capabilities of the Splyt service, allowing them to explore new places and experiences wherever they find themselves.”
