Swiss insurance giant AXA starts accepting bitcoin for payment
Clients will be able to make payments in cryptocurrencies for all services of the company, with the exception of life insurance due to legal restrictions
AXA was the first Swiss insurance company to accept Bitcoin as payment. To accept digital payments, the company entered into a partnership agreement with the cryptocurrency broker Bitcoin Suisse. AXA customers will be able to pay with bitcoin for all of the company's products, with the exception of life insurance due to legal restrictions.
AXA notes that they do not plan to store cryptocurrency in their own accounts, and will use the Bitcoin Suisse infrastructure for operations with Bitcoin. The insurer will not introduce fees for payments in digital coins. AXA did not rule out that in the future its products could be paid using other cryptocurrencies, but for now the company will test the work with digital assets using bitcoin.
Last week, California-based real estate agency Caruso announced that it is starting to accept bitcoin as payment. This service will cover both residential and commercial properties. In addition, Caruso has invested some of its free funds in cryptocurrency.
