Camper & Nicholsons International selects BitPay to accept cryptocurrency payments
GENEVA, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Camper & Nicholsons [https://camperandnicholsons.com/], the global leader in 
all luxury yachting activities, specializing in the sale, purchase, charter, 
marketing, management, and construction, project management and insurance of 
the finest yachts in the world, today announced the company is accepting 
cryptocurrency for payment for goods and services from BitPay 
[https://bitpay.com/], the world's largest provider of Bitcoin and 
cryptocurrency payment services. 

The ability to accept cryptocurrency enables Camper & Nicholsons to attract new 
customers and sales by tapping the massive crypto marketplace. The 240-year-old 
company accepts cryptocurrency payments for all of its yacht fleet for sale, 
charter and all services provided.

"We decided to accept crypto to expand our market, cater to new consumer 
preferences, and give customers more options, flexibility, and freedom," said 
Paolo Casani, CEO at Camper & Nicholsons. "BitPay manages the entire process 
and makes it easy and safe to receive crypto from the customer and deposits 
cash into our account."

Camper & Nicholsons benefits by adding cryptocurrency to its payment options 
while reducing high fees increasing payment transparency and efficiency. BitPay 
pioneered blockchain payment processing to enable borderless payments using 
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Dogecoin (DOGE), 
Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and 5 
USD-pegged stable coins (BUSD, DAI, GUSD, USDC, and USDP). BitPay's business 
solutions eliminate transaction fraud, reduce the cost of payment processing, 
and enable borderless payments in cryptocurrency. Using BitPay, Camper & 
Nicholsons receives settlement the next business day directly to its bank 
account in its local fiat currency such as USD or Euros. There is no 
cryptocurrency price volatility or risk to the company. 

"Camper & Nicholsons realizes the potential for crypto to transform the 
yachting industry, making payments faster, more secure, and less expensive on a 
global scale," said Merrick Theobald, Vice President of Marketing at BitPay. 
"With the total market cap of crypto approaching $2 trillion, Camper & 
Nicholsons is also now well-positioned to take advantage of this wealth by 
helping those crypto holders who are looking to purchase luxury items like 
yacht sales and yacht charters."
