Konzum, Croatia’s largest supermarket chain, begins accepting Bitcoin

Croatia’s largest supermarket chain Konzum allowed customers of its online store to pay for goods with cryptocurrencies. The initiative was implemented in partnership with the processing service Electrocoin.

Konzum supports payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, EOS, Dai, XRP, Stellar, as well as stablecoins (USDT and USDC). In the future the company plans to roll out this capability across its supermarket network.

“As the largest retail network in Croatia, which in its nearly 65-year history has consistently led the domestic market in terms of business results and technological achievements, we are proud to have become leaders in another field that is rapidly evolving and shaping the future,” said Uroš Kalinić, a member of Konzum’s board of directors.

In September, the U.S. online retailer Shop.com added support for cryptocurrency payments.

Earlier, the leading telecom company in Latin America and the Caribbean, GoldConnect integrated support for cryptocurrency payments via BitPay.
