Tel Aviv, Israel, March 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calypso Pay, a high-volume crypto processing & acquiring platform of Calypso Group, today announces the launch of its own blockchain and the first significant update of its platform.
With Calypso Pay 2.0, the company streamlines the payment process:
- It decreases transaction fees by up to 20% — now customers pay only commission without network fee for executing payouts
- The company has increased the speed by two times — payouts of up to 100 accounts are now processed in less than a minute
- The minimum payment threshold is lowered from 100$ to 1$ — users can top up and withdraw with no limits
- The commission is now deducted in the same currency used for the transaction — to transfer USDT, you do not need to hold ETH anymore
- The company adds an instant auto conversion service — its clients can accept payments in any tokens and then convert them to stablecoins right away
- Each customer receives an option to create additional accounts within their main one and assign different roles for its employees to manage the information and data shared
- The internal transactions become free of charge, meaning companies within the Calypso Pay ecosystem will send transactions without paying network fees
- The clients can now request financial reports with the transaction history for specific periods to identify the most frequently used currencies, amount of network fees paid, and more

“Today, we’re glad to announce the launch of our own blockchain and present the first significant update of the product we've been working on for the past six months. Now we do not only provide our clients with advanced fintech products and payment solutions but have implemented Web3 inside our core infrastructure”, says Svyatoslav Dorofeev, CEO of Calypso Group. “The transition requires reintegration but brings notable improvements both in speed and fees and optimizes the payment process within Calypso Group as a whole.”
This fall, Calypso added support for Bitcoin Lightning Network, enabling almost free and near-instant BTC transfers. Calypso Pay charges 1% for Lightning transactions — the same fee as for all other services with no setup fees, no monthly minimums, and no hidden taxes. Transfers via Bitcoin Lightning Network are available to all its users without any limitations: they can enjoy cheap and secure payments with instant deposit and withdrawal and no transaction limits.
