Our team has dedicated the last few months to working on our products set out on our roadmap. We’re excited to share new technological developments and more appearances by our CEO in the payment gateway space.

BELUGA PAY TECH UPDATES:

Beluga Pay Global Release — IOS and Android.

On August 9 (Android) and August 29 (IOS) our team released Beluga Pay global applications, focusing on cryptocurrencies and token holding capabilities. These global versions complement our Beluga Pay mobile by offering alongside the version for Mexico, which can also accept cash, credit and debit. It is important to mention that debit/credit card payments are available only in countries where local bank agreements exist. Talks with local banks all over America and Asia are in progress, so stay tuned for updates.

We are continually taking notes from our clients and community, in order to improve and constantly add new functionalities. Please download our free application, give us a rating and if there is something you would like to see, feel free to contact us.

Bluetooth Payment Device for Credit/Debit Cards and Samsung Pay Integration.

When Beluga Pay development began, an Audio Jack 3.5mm device was used for credit/debit card payment. We have seen how the use of 3.5mm port has begun to fade in mobile phones, in favor of Bluetooth protocol. That is why we have decided to update to a brand new Bluetooth device for card payments. This new terminal device has been fully integrated in Beluga Pay and you can soon buy it directly from our application!

First ERC20 in Beluga Pay Wallet — Binance Coin (BNB).

With the release of our Beluga Pay Wallet, we have begun the integration of ERC20 tokens. It was decided to begin with Binance Coin (BNB) since it is one of the tokens with most circulating supply, according to CoinMarketCap. The storage of BNB, Ethereum and Beluga Banking Infrastructure (BBI) token is now available on Beluga Pay in both our Android and IOS applications.

Do you want to have your favorite ERC20 token listed on Beluga Pay? Please contact us with your suggestions!

Beluga Pay Dashboard Release.

On August 2, our team released Beluga Dashboard 1.0. In this web-based product, a Beluga Pay user is offered a detailed perspective of the sales completed by the Beluga Pay application or through our e-commerce platform (more info about e-commerce below).

You can take a look on www.dashboard.belugapay.com, by using the same credentials as in Beluga app.

E-commerce

Our e-commerce platform is live and transaction performance with our first clients have been successful. We are in the final steps to making our payment gateway available to select merchants interested.

Security for our clients is our utmost priority, which is why we are updating our platform daily to provide a complete secure and fraud-free product.

NEXT BELUGA PAY APPEARANCES:

Our CEO Alejandro Ávila will be participating on the panel “Pasarelas de Pago” (Payment Gateways) as part of Cancun Travel Forum, next September 20–21 at Hotel Iberostar in Cancun, Mexico. We will continue to host Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions to keep our community informed on more updates.

Thank you for your continuous support!
