Blockchain payments startup Circle is now offering no-cost cross-border transactions to its users, the firm said today.
Customers based in the US, much of Europe and the UK won’t have to pay fees or mark-ups on foreign currency exchanges as part of the roll-out of the startup’s service upgrade. The firm also said it is now offering “instant” transactions for users that send funds between those countries.
“Consumers will not have to pay fees or foreign exchange mark-ups on payments sent to or from the US, UK and more than a dozen European countries,” Circle explained in a statement. “Payments can now be sent between US dollars, British pound sterling or Euros instantly and there are no fees at all and zero FX markup on exchange rates if sent using Circle.”
