Crypto Payments: Accept Bitcoin & Settle in Local Currency

RohoPay now supports Bitcoin and USDC payments, allowing merchants to accept cryptocurrency from global customers while settling automatically in their local currency. This eliminates the complexity of managing crypto wallets and volatile holdings.

When a customer pays with Bitcoin or USDC, RohoPay locks in the exchange rate at the moment of payment and settles the equivalent amount in UGX, KES, or USD to the merchant's wallet. The entire process takes under 30 minutes for Bitcoin and under 5 minutes for USDC.

The integration is seamless for merchants. They don't need to create crypto wallets, manage private keys, or handle blockchain transactions. RohoPay handles all the crypto infrastructure, and merchants receive familiar fiat settlements on their normal schedule.

Crypto payments are priced at a flat 0.5% fee — significantly lower than the 1.5-3% typically charged by crypto payment processors. This makes crypto an attractive option for high-value transactions and international customers.

Fraud protection is built in. Every crypto payment is screened for sanctioned addresses, unusual patterns, and potential double-spend attacks. Our system leverages blockchain analytics to ensure every transaction is legitimate before settling to the merchant.
