Unocoin

Unocoin is India’s most popular Bitcoin Company. Unocoin started as a platform to buy, sell, send and receive bitcoins in India. The company later expanded and started offering a mobile phone recharge service (airtime) through bitcoins. After that, Unocoin developed a unique Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) to help the users to buy bitcoins by averaging out the cost. This reduced the risk of investing big amounts.

Now, Unocoin offers merchants a payment gateway as well. With this, Unocoin plans to offer many advantages to merchants and other payment receivers to accept bitcoin on their websites.

Given our steep growth rate, we’re looking to serve millions more in the coming years.”
