24m bank customers will be able to make bitcoin purchases following a new partnership between NCR and portfolio company NYDIG. Community banks such as First Citizens Bank and Bay Federal Credit Union will allow their customers to make bitcoin purchases via NCR-built mobile banking apps.
“We're firm believers in the benefits of crypto and the strategic application...and that's true for our banking relationships, as evidenced by NYDIG, and across retailers as well as restaurants and the like," said Douglas Brown, NCR's president of digital banking.
