Singapore, 7 August 2023 – Homegrown humanitarian organisation, Singapore Red Cross, has included digital currency as a newly-accepted form of donation, partnering with Triple-A, the first digital currencies payment gateway licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), ahead of Singapore’s National Day.
With Triple-A’s white-label digital currencies payment solutions, the Singapore Red Cross can now receive digital currency donations from supporters, to deliver humanitarian services to uplift the vulnerable, particularly in Singapore. All digital currencies donations will be converted into fiat currency and settled via bank transfer within one business day, ensuring the funds are readily accessible to support the organisation’s humanitarian initiatives.
Singapore Red Cross will accept donations in various digital currencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC). The process is simple, as all digital currencies wallets are supported through Triple-A.
Mr Benjamin William, Secretary General and CEO of Singapore Red Cross enthused, “Digital currency donations have become increasingly popular due to the efficiency of processing them and their global accessibility. By accepting digital currencies, we open our doors to a new segment of donors who are tech-savvy and wish to make a difference through their digital assets. Enabling digital currency donations also opens up more opportunities for the new generation of donors who are au fait with digital currencies to consider philanthropy and helping the vulnerable.”
“We’re honoured to partner with the Singapore Red Cross in enabling digital currency donations and empowering donors to support humanitarian causes with digital assets,” said Mr Eric Barbier, CEO of Triple-A, “Digital currencies payments offer faster, more secure transactions, reduce administrative overheads, and ensure that the funds reach those in need promptly,”
The new payment option is now live on the Singapore Red Cross website, allowing donors from around the world to contribute using their preferred digital currencies. Donations can now be made through the Singapore Red Cross’ website.
