Send Money Now in 9 More Currencies with Bitwala using Bitcoin + Altcoin (Steem)

Following our announcement on supporting the Japanese Yen and Mexican Peso, we are pleased to introduce 9 new local currencies to our line up. It is now possible for anyone to use Bitwala and make international money transfers from Bitcoin or Altcoins to local bank accounts in Australian Dollars (AUD), Brazilian Real (BRL), Chinese Yen (CNY), Japanese Yen (JPY), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Mexican Peso (MXN), Philippine Peso (PHP), South Korea Won (KRW), and last but not least the Vietnamese Dong (VND).

How long it takes

Our team has worked hard to make sending money globally faster and much, much cheaper using Bitcoin and Altcoins. Sending money in AUD, BRL, CNY, JPY, MYR, MXN, PHP, KRW, and VND has never been faster with an ETA average of 1 business day. Check out our detailed service structure below:

* Our transfer timeframe is based on the average time it takes for a transaction to reflect on your recipient’s side.
** Be aware that intermediary and/or recipient banks might charge additional fees and we usually can’t take over that fee while using shared costs (SHA).
