Digital cash for property rentals

Real estate agency RE/MAX has partnered with GoCoin to accept digital currency for property rentals across the United Kingdom, and in doing so has become the first estate real estate agency in the U.K. to offer its clients and the possibility to make payments for property rentals through digital or cryptocurrency.

GoCoin is a global leader in Blockchain payments and the first platform for processing Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin at checkout.

GoCoin allows merchant operators to safely accept digital currencies without being exposed to their potential market volatility. Merchants can choose to keep the cryptocurrency, or convert all or part of it into traditional financial orders including US$, GBP, Euros and Singapore dollars.

"RE/MAX is taking an important first step toward embracing the full potential of the Blockchain for the real estate market," said Steve Beauregard, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of GoCoin.

"Lease payments are one area of focus, and we look forward to expanding into other areas of smartproperty as well, he concluded.
