LettucePay was launched last year as a cryptocurrency app for merchants.
It helps merchants settle cryptocurrency transactions as USD payments, for minimal transaction fees.
As a result of this acquisition, PAYMYNT Financial will integrate cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, as a payment method at top retail locations, effectively immediately.
PAYMYNT Financial has retained two former LettucePay team members, the full-stack engineer Ari Mizrahi and blockchain adviser Brian Goldberg.
