With this acquisition, Digatrade plans to announce cross-disciplinary applications of its fintech agenda.
Digatrade CEO Brad Moynes said: “It’s easy to get lost in the theory of what’s possible. We are collaborating with thought leaders in this field to mine the technology itself and deliver really useful applications that are not already overdone in this space.
“An example is something as basic as being able to buy cryptocurrency easily, securely and in small quantities by credit card and to spend it just as easily and securely, by multiple methods. Our increased credit card security expertise is perfectly suited, but even that is just the tip of the iceberg of what we have in mind. Digatrade is advancing again, according to plan.”
Securter technology safeguards cardholder privacy by eliminating the need to distribute credit card details to multiple commercial third parties, where such details are usually stored.
