Montreal-based Shakepay has joined Interac e-Transfer as a Participant, giving the bitcoin-focused financial app more direct access to one of Canada’s core payment rails. The move follows Interac’s broader expansion of network access to regulated payment service providers, after similar steps by Wealthsimple, Neo Financial, and KOHO.

The company, founded in 2015, has grown to more than 1.3 million registered accounts and already offers direct deposit, bill payments, e-transfers, and bitcoin rewards to users nationwide today onward.
