UAE’s Discount store iDay To Day Hypermarket is the first in the UAE to accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency payments, Gulf News reports.

This payment method will be accepted for both physical branches as well as Day To Day Hypermarket's online shopping website (daytoday.ae).

The payment process will require your mobile phone. For in store payments, it involves a POS machine located in the stores that will facilitate the transaction. For online shopping payments, simply click on the option of the cryptocurrency payments, a link provided by the website (daytoday.ae) will facilitate the payment there on. In both cases, payments can be processed instantly and in a hassle free manner.

With the launch of the latest advancements in cryptocurrency payment systems, Day To Day Hypermarket has set a benchmark for other retailers in the UAE - not only will it cater to the expats but also to the citizens of the UAE.
