Crypto acquiring in Ukraine: Which solution is best
Based on Сhainalysis, Ukraine is among the top 5 countries with the best crypto adoption. It is now crucial to build infrastructure that would make crypto payments as easy as bank payments. Let’s look at the market’s best “white” crypto acquiring solutions.
Let's first determine the selection criteria. We immediately excluded the platforms saying they are “against the war” on the website, while servicing “Mir” cards. Neither are we interested in solutions that continue to operate on the territory of the aggressor country and world terrorist number one, the russian federation, and serve the citizens of this temporary territorial unit.
As a result, several niche solutions and one major player made our shortlist. Niche solutions are designed for a specific cryptocurrency and have a limited geography. That's why we will probably talk about their advantages and disadvantages in a separate article. This time, we will focus on a universal “Made in Ukraine” solution aimed at both offline and online merchants that accepts all top cryptocurrencies and offers its own processing services. Such a solution is Whitepay.
Crypto acquiring by Whitepay
Whitepay is a crypto payment processing company, a subsidiary of Europe's largest CEX WhiteBIT. It offers crypto solutions for eCommerce and other businesses. Whitepay acquiring is a universal and flexible crypto payment service for offline and online merchants, which enables them to accept not only fiat currencies, but also more than 100 different cryptocurrencies.

Whitepay offers many features, including billing, POS terminals network management, and balance checks. It also enables users to perform detailed financial analyses and monitor cash flows in their personal account.
To accept crypto, you need a QR code-supported crypto wallet for fast and comfortable work. A one-time QR code and a separate wallet in the corresponding cryptocurrency are generated during each transaction, along with the order ID.
Whitepay markets itself as a universal solution, so it supports almost any wallet available on the market. Users do not need to transfer assets to any specific wallets to make crypto payments, as required by some other providers.
Whitepay also addresses the concerns about the volatility of crypto-assets. With Whitepay services, merchants don't risk losing some of their revenue due to exchange rate fluctuations. This was the main reason why most merchants or large retail chains refused to accept cryptocurrencies. Whitepay has finally solved this problem.
Whitepay is a company that scales and adjusts to the requirements of any country. In addition to Ukraine, Whitepay crypto acquiring is available in other countries such as Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Thus, Whitepay service currently covers two continents. The company has expertise in localization and customization of acquiring services and enables payments in any fiat currencies with local merchants.
In Ukraine, Whitepay services are used by such retail technology companies as TechnoEzh, Stylus and Cactus. TechnoEzh has more than 100 stores in 18 cities throughout Ukraine. Stylus has almost 20 stores in 16 cities. Cactus is located in five cities of Ukraine: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Lviv (7 stores in total).
