Finance
Financial services including bill pay, loans, and payment tools that accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
This section covers services that help you use crypto for financial tasks beyond simple retail purchases. As cryptocurrency adoption grows, financial infrastructure around crypto has matured significantly, offering tools for bill payments, lending, and everyday spending.
Paying Bills with Crypto
One of the most practical uses of cryptocurrency is paying everyday bills. Several platforms enable this:
- Living Room of Satoshi — Pay any Australian bill with Bitcoin
- Spritz Finance — Pay US credit cards and bills with crypto
- AT&T — Major US telecom provider accepting Bitcoin directly
- PayPal — Checkout with Crypto for bill payments where PayPal is accepted
These services bridge the gap between crypto holdings and traditional financial obligations, eliminating the need to sell crypto into a bank account before paying bills.
Crypto-Backed Loans
For crypto holders who need cash but don’t want to sell their assets, crypto-backed lending platforms offer an attractive solution:
- Ledn — Bitcoin-backed loans with competitive rates
- Unchained — US-based Bitcoin collateralized lending
- Nexo — Instant crypto-backed credit lines
- Firefish — Peer-to-peer Bitcoin-backed lending
- Arch Lending — Crypto-backed mortgage and lending solutions
- Salt Lending — Blockchain-backed loans
The advantage of crypto-backed loans is maintaining exposure to potential asset appreciation while accessing liquidity. Interest rates are typically competitive with traditional personal loans, and approval is often instant without credit checks.

Beyond direct merchant acceptance, payment tools help you use crypto anywhere:
- PayPal — Checkout with Crypto at millions of merchants

- Wirex Card — Multi-currency card with crypto support

Financial Tips for Crypto Users
