Like the canton of Zug, the city of Lugano now also accepts payments for taxes and other municipal services in Bitcoin. Previously, payments with cryptocurrencies in Lugano were only possible via the city's online portal.
Private individuals and companies can now pay all invoices issued by the city of Lugano with Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency Tether, which is pegged to the US dollar, as Bitcoin Suisse announced on Tuesday. The Zug-based crypto company enables crypto payments.
According to Bitcoin Suisse, the use of the Swiss QR-bill provides a fully automated solution. By scanning the QR code on the invoice, the cryptocurrency can be selected using the user's preferred mobile wallet.
According to the information provided, Bitcoin Suisse has already introduced crypto payments for the city and canton of Zug as well as the municipality of Zermatt.
