Coinify, a Denmark-based digital currency payment provider, has purchased Coinzone, an Amsterdam-based bitcoin payments processor, for an undisclosed sum.

Coinify CFO Christian Visti Larsen said that the deal comes as the firm is looking to change its focus from acquiring individual merchants to payment service providers (PSPs).
He added that Coinify is also planning to collaborate with larger entities that provide payments support to thousands of online merchants.
Larsen told CoinDesk: "More merchants today do business with a PSP and would rather have multiple payment options through a PSP. Most of Coinzone’s partners were asking for this service, so it seemed like a perfect match."
Coinify currently has eight deals with regional PSPs, said Larsen.
