Coinme continues to broaden their network for direct bitcoin purchases as it enters the Dallas-Ft. Worth metropolitan area. The well-known blockchain financial technology company just announced the addition of 90 Coinstar kiosk points in Albertsons and Tom Thumb supermarkets.
For consumers in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, Coinstar kiosks were already the biggest chain of locations where they can easily buy bitcoin. Coinme co-founder and CEO Neil Bergquist shared his thoughts on the expansion:
“Dallas promises to be one of Coinme’s strongest markets for Bitcoin in the United States.”
This next expansion comes just a couple of months after Coinme added 300 Coinstar kiosk points in Denver. Currently Coinstar operates the biggest self-service network of coin-counting kiosks in the United States.
Bergquist added:
“It’s very gratifying to meet the growing customer demand through our relationship with Coinstar, and we couldn’t ask for a better partner to help people access and utilize the power of digital currency.”
Jim Gaherity, the CEO of Coinstar remarked on their part of the partnership:
“There are 3,000 Coinstar kiosk locations across the country that have the Bitcoin purchase functionality and the consumer response has been very positive. We’re happy that the expansion continues with access now in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.”
Using a Coinstar kiosk is pretty straightforward. A consumer can finish a transaction in just four simple steps, having prepared the needed cash in USD and a valid phone number.
