The company that brings cryptocurrencies into our daily lives as new payment method: in retail stores, restaurants, and your favorite café.
Merchants and restaurant owners: we understand you!
In your industry, revenue is what counts; you’re under pressure from all sides and need cash—in euros—at the end of the month. That leaves little room to deal with new technology, regulations, or bookkeeping. We understand your challenges, including how expensive card payments eat into your margins.
We speak your language. Frey accepts cryptocurrency payments from your customers and transfers euros to your bank account. That’s it! We take care of the complicated accounting for you. No new technology, no additional device at the register. Just a simple QR code. Your cashiers and waiters press a button—we take care of everything else.
And with us, fixed costs are a thing of the past: You only pay a tiny fee based on revenue when customers use our service.
Crypto Community,
we've heared you
Ever since the 2008 white paper “Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” was published, everyone in the crypto community—whether they’re Bitcoiners, Etherians, or Monerists—has dreamed of using their digital cash to pay at the supermarket or take that special date out to a café. We’re making it happen. On a massive scale. Wherever you are.
We're Building the Future
We are passionate movers and shakers who feel right at home in the cryptospace. For years, we’ve seen the growing acceptance of digital payments. But they’re all based on outdated interbank architecture, with its well-known problems. We’re not building a revamped PayPal with an EU sticker, but rather laying the foundation for a paradigm shift: The future of payments is decentralized, and we’re the pioneers bringing it into everyday life.
We’re building the bridge between the crypto and real worlds.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Crypto Community
Do I need a specific app or wallet to pay?
No. Come as you are. Use your wallet.
Non-custodial storage—or “self-custody”—is arguably the most significant achievement of digital currencies, and we will always uphold this “crypto spirit.” That also means we won’t be releasing our own app.
However, we can recommend a few that are fully technologically compatible with us:
– Cakewallet (widest coin support),
– Wallet of Satoshi,
– One Key,
– Phoenix,
– Blink,
– Blix, or
– Binance, if you prefer custodial storage.
Which cryptocurrencies do you support?
Initially, we will support the following cryptocurrencies:
– Bitcoin and Lightning
– Monero
– Litecoin (MWEB coming soon)
– Bitcoin Cash
– Ethereum
– Stablecoins: dEURO, EURC
