ATLANTA, Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BitRail, the new blockchain-backed infrastructure that enables organizations to operate regulatory compliant cryptocurrencies for payments, has launched its signature product to transform the way people do business. Today's launch eliminates the need for institutions and enterprises to rely on costly credit cards and high-fee digital payment options. BitRail helps establish legal and compliant cryptocurrencies for all types of transactions and the ability to securely complete them with an intuitive, easy-to-use app.

Through a partnership with ICOx Innovations Inc. (OTC: ICOX), which designs and creates branded blockchain economies for established companies to benefit and grow their businesses through blockchain technologies and branded corporate currencies, BitRail challenges the notion that corporate currencies are too speculative and unreliable for everyday payments. The technology offers secure, instant transactions and the ability to simply convert funds between fiat and crypto. 

"BitRail tackles the regulatory challenge head-on by acquiring state money transmitter licenses and offering KYC and AML verification for our clients through the platform," said Cameron Chell, co-founder and vice chairman of BitRail. "The technology provides the same buyer protections users are accustomed to with credit cards, with an additional layer of trust and security through blockchain verification and two-factor authentication. Also, unlike the cryptocurrencies you hear about in the news, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, the cryptocurrencies approved to run on the BitRail platform will lock-in transaction values to eliminate pricing volatility."

The BitRail framework is ideal for e-commerce sites, online marketplaces, charities, and shared economy vendors, among others. Through customized deployment, entities can quickly establish their own branded cryptocurrencies and offer them as a payment options during check out eliminating prohibitive transaction friction. The platform is highly scalable and fully integrable.

Users can purchase the branded coins with U.S. dollars and store them in a BitRail provided personal, secure blockchain wallets until needed. Buyers and sellers can then choose to accept and use the fully regulated, branded cryptocurrencies for transactions.

"Savvy brands will easily see the appeal in reducing transaction cost and time, and the value in using these trusted coins as new opportunities to reward and retain clients through loyalty programs," said Steve Urvan, CEO and co-founder of BitRail. "We believe that the early BitRail adaptors will come from the payment challenged industries that can benefit most from payment innovation."  

BitRail recently signed GunBroker.com, the world's largest online marketplace for hunting, outdoor sports and firearm products, as its first client. After dealing with a shrinking number of cost-effective payment options for its users, the e-commerce giant intends to launch their branded coin later this month.
