7-Eleven stores in Philippines now sell Bitcoin

Investment app venture Abra is to sell cryptocurrency for cash at 6,000 retail outlets across the Philippines.

This is the result of a deal with local payments processor ECPay to access its network that includes all 7-Eleven stores in the country.

“Using new digital tools that open up financial access shouldn’t be hard. And they shouldn’t be complicated. Moving cash to crypto and other digital assets should be simple and fast,” Abra said in a statement.

“That’s why we are really excited to announce our new partnership with ECPay and 7-Eleven stores. It’s one more step towards making cryptocurrency use and investing simple and accessible to everyone.”
