Paying bills with Bitcoin is now a reality in El Salvador with Bitrefill

SAN SALVADOR, EL SALVADOR: Bitrefill is thrilled to launch our Bitcoin bill pay service for El Salvador. Pay more than 150 bills with Bitcoin, instantly, from the comfort of your home through our site or app on iOS & Android.

You’ll now be able to pay any bill with Bitcoin, like rent, power, water, internet, phone (mobile & landline), TV, social security, even mortgages and taxes! The future of personal finance is developing at Lightning speed in El Salvador.

It gives us heartfelt joy to have the opportunity to make this historic announcement at El Salvador’s Adopting Bitcoin conference, as the Bitcoin community and El Salvador’s business and finance leaders meet to discuss the future of Bitcoin payments.

El Salvador is leading the way towards a circular Bitcoin economy, a world in which Bitcoins are not only traded on exchanges, but between people and businesses. Bitrefill envisions it to soon be as common for people to use their Bitcoin wallet as it is today to use videoconferencing.

A Salvadoran living abroad can use Cash app, or Strike + Bitrefill bill pay, and pay the electricity bill for a relative in El Salvador with Lightning Network, instantly and with sub-penny fees. This is huge, in a nation where remittances make up more than 20% of total GDP, and the sender traditionally cannot control where the receiver spends the money.

Pay the following bills today via Bitrefill & PuntoXpress in El Salvador. We will be adding more everyday, up to 150 services.

  • CAESS
  • DIGICEL
  • BELCORP
  • Sky
  • FONDO SOLICIAL PARA LA VIVIENDA
  • TELEFONICA MOVIL
  • DEUSEM
