Uber partners with Bitcoin credit card company 'BitcoinBlack'
BitcoinBlack, an all metal Bitcoin credit card which is partially owned by FD7 Ventures, announced today that they have secured partnerships that enable members to receive 'perks' with a number of different companies including ride-sharing giants, Uber.
Three other global brands, Air Canada, Starbucks and Amazon make up the new partnership.
BitcoinBlack Chief Strategy Officer, Phil Payjack, said: "Exclusive offers are a big part of our member benefits. We look forward to seeing the response from cardholders as the deals from these partnerships roll out."
Only 1000 BitcoinBlack cards are due to be released globally this year, with delivery to clients around the world scheduled for 15 June 2021. The BitcoinBlack all metal card is one of the first VIP-level Bitcoin credit cards available today. The exclusive card will connect to BitcoinBlack's secure online cryptocurrency wallet, which will be available for download to all cardholders.
Earlier this month, cryptocurrency investment fund, FD7 Ventures, announced that they had invested in BitcoinBlack, acquiring a 33% stake in the company. FD7 Ventures is regularly in the news for crypto-related developments, including the company's recent announcement that they would be converting £544M ($750M) of Bitcoin (BTC) to altcoins Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT). Shortly after that announcement, the company confirmed that they had finished converting their £275M ($380M) in ADA transactions ahead of schedule.
