About the company

We believe blockchain-based digital currencies have the potential to solve some of the world's most important problems, such as financial inclusion, protection, privacy, and freedom. With Cryptorefills, we are on a mission to bring blockchain-based payments into everyday life and accelerate the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Access to crypto investments, trading, and person-to-person transactions is relatively easy today. However, this only serves a limited scope of needs for these currencies. Using crypto in everyday life, such as buying goods and services, is instead very limited.

Cryptorefills is a website and app that enables users in over 180 countries and territories to spend crypto, including Bitcoin, stablecoins like USDC and USDT, and other digital currencies yet to come. With Cryptorefills, users can recharge their mobile phones, purchase gift cards from top brands like Netflix, Spotify, Google Play, and Apple, and even book flights and hotels directly using crypto.

The Company is a fast-growing fintech firm headquartered in Amsterdam, with a local presence in Milano and Izmir.
