“With DebitWay, expresscoin is dedicated to providing fast and secure transactions for our customers. We felt it only made sense to offer our safe digital currency retail service through Canada’s most trusted fiat exchange service so Canadian customers can participate in the digital currency economy and experience the same trust and security they have in their fiat exchange service with Expresscoin.”
The company also states that “Expresscoin has also taken the latest Canadian regulations for Bitcoin into consideration and registered Expresscoin and Canadian subsidiaries with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).” DC Magnates has not yet been able to independently verify this with FINTRAC.
