Attention Steemians: STEEM <> USD Added to Metal Pay

Hello Steemians, we’re the Metal Pay Team and today we’re excited to announce that we are adding STEEM to our mobile payments app for iOS (with Android to follow in the future). We’ve already published a post to our blog that is geared more for users who are not familiar with Steem, because we want them to get hands-on experience with your blockchain. After speaking with our customers we’ve learned that many of them are new to crypto, and are looking to gain a deeper understanding of this new and exciting technology in ways that fit into their lives.

Real People, Real Apps

We’re always looking for ways to bring new products and services to our users that fit into our vision of making crypto more accessible and useful to everyone. Part of the reason why we’ve decided to make STEEM one of our earliest token additions is that the Steem blockchain supports real-world apps that ordinary people can begin using today.

Bringing STEEM to the Masses

We also know that Metal Pay will deliver a lot of value to Steemians as well. Metal Pay is a person-to-person payments platform that rewards its users with crypto when they send money to friends. We believe that by incorporating amazing tokens like STEEM, we can outcompete products like CashApp and Venmo and become one of the most useful—and most widely-used— payments apps in the world. We think that STEEM, with its 3-second zero-fee transfers, as well as its ability to onboard large numbers of regular people, will help turbocharge our growth while exposing more people than ever to this amazing blockchain.

Feedback Welcome

We’d love to hear what you think of our app, so please download it and leave your feedback in the comments section below. We’ll also be hosting a trivia competition later this week, so be sure to follow us on Steem, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, download the Metal Pay app, and tune in to earn rewards for sharing your crypto knowledge!

🤘 The Metal Pay Team

@darrenfj(62)· 2605d
oooo exciting!

thanks for the info and links...
@rudyardcatling(65)· 2605d
real shame, i asked anycoindirect a few times to add steem <> eur but for some reason they don't seem interested ... maybe if they got flooded with requests ...
@membish(25)· 2605d
i think you should use QR code in Payment methods for shops and restaurants etc...
@sniper555(54)· 2606d
Thanks a lot
@sacra97(77)· 2606d
I hope it reaches Venezuela too @metalpay
@ajks(69)· 2607d
Wow @metalpay that's amazing Steem is on your metalpay app. Now everyone can buy Steem through USD. I would like to about deposit and withdrawal of Steem directly from steemit wallet. Is there any plan for listing SBD to your platform.

This is really a exciting news for all steemians. Your feedback is anticipated
@citimillz(75)· 2607d
This development is highly appreciated. Thanks for adding value to the Steem blockchain.
@universeofalbert(40)· 2607d
Sounds good! glad to know there will be better apps on the market. lately ive seen apps gone to poo. The internet was made to be inventive and new, most of the internet is just there to make a buck and dont care how they perform which i find very sad.
@magdasierra(69)· 2607d
Hi@metalpay. What interesting publication and tell me can only this application be used only for transfer between users of cryptography steem or can be used in addition to make purchases
@chireerocks(75)· 2607d
@metalpay, Team we are very excited about this update and hope that this Colloboration and Ingregation will bring fruitful results for all.

Particularly i am waiting for the Android Version and hope that it will work in my region. Good wishes from my side and have a successful journey ahead.
@aryel77(25)· 2607d
Metal Pay is on fire!!! Keep it up guys.
@ocupation(71)· 2607d
Oh, i would use one if it was available for Europe. I saw your comment that you're working on making it global, will follow your work. Btw it would be awesome if you put STEEM as one of your official sites along with telegram, reddit etc...
@salmanabid(25)· 2608d
Having read this I believed it was extremely informative. I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this content together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it!

@arcange(79)· 2608d
This is really great news!!
@majes.tytyty(79)· 2608d
This sounds quite promising. Of course, there are many factors that will make or break Steem, and many which influence its value and its price.

But giving more people access to Steem will have a profound effect. Maybe not soon, but eventually, and ... soon enough.
@michaeljn(68)· 2608d
Welcome to @steemit really great that @steemit @steem being included. read some of your plans cant wait, I live in SA so may not be here yet and also use android, so will wait for those implimentations to get on board to suport @metalpay. Now all we need is for @steem to get back up to where it belongs in value, guess this would help to that.

thank you, and again welcome to @steemit.
@awesomianist(65)· 2609d
I'll definitely be trying @metalpay! Might I give it a public review while im at it?
@florian-glechner(78)· 2609d
Is there also a Android version of the app?
@cloudspyder(60)· 2609d
At the moment, it is not available to Android user yet... Hopefully, the soonest possible it will be up and running in Android platform.
@chelsea88(64)· 2609d
I have to say, this is very promising! I will install your app. I have AOS so i hope that android will be following soon :)

@cryptotokeneur(49)· 2610d
Fantastic! ...So the app is for banking and sending crypto to friends only ~ its not for payment of goes and services like a digital money debit card, RIGHT?

Does the app support the smart contract tokens created by Steem-Engine and Steemit? ...Further, if it does, how can those tokens be listed on the app as well?
@apostle-thomas(54)· 2610d
Great news! As a project blogger for all things STEEM ~ Can you answer the question: Will the app also support the smart tokens created by Steem-Engine and Steemit (when they start releasing later this year)?

Great, I like how you position your product to an ever growing market. I really do hope that your product will soon go global, will have easier access both to merchants and consumers. It has the potential to compete head to head with the soon to be launched Facebook's Libra.
@cryptopie(78)· 2610d
Will this be available in the Philippines? @metalpay
@blockurator(65)· 2610d

What's the best way for reaching customer service? I've been attempting to link my bank account but it immediately pops up an error when I submit my information. I gave up yesterday thinking it might be fixed in the coming days but today received the two deposits to my account with no way to verify them on my account. Attempting to add the account again just gives the same error message.

After I put in all my sensitive info in, scanned my IDs, the whole deal, the app crashed. Now its just stuck on your lovely logo even on quit and reboot.

@metalpay this does not instill confidence, was so stoked to jump in!

@ozphil(66)· 2611d
I was really excited about $usd to Steem - but once you have the Steem in Metal - you cannot get it to your Steemit wallet. Please give us a way to transfer Steem from Metal to our Steemit Wallet so we can power it up, delegate it, etc.
@the4thmusketeer(75)· 2611d
Really cool to hear about this! I'm gonna start using the Metal app now.
@yogajill(67)· 2611d

Welcome to Steem, I think that you've done an excellent choice coming to this blockchain.
@daltono(81)· 2611d
For once a developer who released on iOS before Android instead of the other way around.

I’m signing up to use #metalpay as soon as I get home.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but does this mean I am able to use my Steem/Bitcoin to buy things anywhere in the USA (online/offline) with a debit card? Or is that a future feature?
@wovlou(58)· 2611d

I've also shared your post in the Steem Malaysia Community Page on Facebook, hoping to give you the extra exposure because of its good content.

Awesome, gotta say you can't go wrong with Steem! Will give your app a try once you have that on Android. Do you have any API integration? We have our own app @actifit and might be interested in an integration for exchange/payments

Welcome to STEEM and thank you for choosing to list it in your product. I believe that STEEM is one of the leading blockchain when it comes to lowering the barriers to entry to crypto. STEEM lowered the entry for me and I never looked back.
