Small businesses in England are starting to take matters into their own hands, when it comes to innovative payment solutions.
Diadem Jewellery, a custom jewelry shop in Altrincham, is one of the first brick and mortar businesses in the greater Manchester area – to start accepting Bitcoin payments, as of the 31st of March. Diadem’s online manager, Alexander Young – views digital currencies as the next step in the evolution of modernized payment systems. Young, believes cryptocurrencies offer many advantages to traditional payment methods, due to the irreversible nature of Bitcoin transactions.
“Because BitCoin payments are irreversible, it’s more secure and safer. With card payments, a customer might make a payment and it could be done on a dodgy card, where the money hasn’t actually been transferred. Sometimes that can mean the business being out-of-pocket in terms of the payment, and also whatever has been bought if it’s already been sent out. But with BitCoin, that just can’t happen.” – Alexander Young, manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Small and medium sized business, such as Diadem Jewelers: are playing a pivotal role, in the wave of Bitcoin adoption currently unfolding across the entire world. Alexander Young did a Q&A session with BTCFeed, and explained why he believes digital currencies are so useful:
What advantages does Bitcoin offer your business over traditional payment methods?
Bitcoin offers many advantages over traditional payments, the speed, efficiency and security are the most alluring factors for our business.
What factors persuaded you to seriously consider accepting Bitcoin payments at Diadem Jewellery (high cc fees, fraud)?
The main reason we accept bitcoin is because we truly believe currencies such as bitcoin have a promising future. We want to offer our customers a mixture of payment security and flexibility and by allowing bitcoin and other crypto currencies, we’re effectively assisting in creating and maintaining the next generation of online shoppers.
