Banxa Integrates Khipu to Support Local Payments in Chile

In South America, several historical Incan cultures used recording devices fashioned from knotted strings – called khipu – to document numerical and narrative information. Fast forward to the 21st century, and it’s a highly fitting moniker for Khipu, a popular payment method in Chile that allows users to make online payments without needing to use a credit card. Banxa is excited to share that we’ve integrated with Khipu to support crypto purchases in-country. 

Since launching in 2010, Khipu has provided payment services for merchants across Chile,  processing over 60 million transactions to date. More than 2,500 businesses and 2 million users process payments on Khipu on a monthly basis.

Key features of Khipu include:

• Security: Khipu uses advanced encryption and security measures to ensure that all transactions are safe and secure
  
• Convenience: Khipu allows users to make payments quickly and easily from their mobile devices or computers
  
• Speed: Khipu processes payments in real-time so funds are immediately transferred to the recipient’s account

Chilean Khipu users can purchase crypto now – just head to Banxa Checkout or one of our trusted partners to get started.
