Checkout.com Libra Partnership

London-based payments processor, Checkout.com, becomes a member of the Libra Association to help it in establishing a decentralized payment system. It seems that Libra is now at its final stage to launch stablecoins in a series after facing many legal troubles.

In an announcement published on April 28, the CEO and founder of Checkout.com inform the users that the company is joining the Libra Association because both companies have an aim to benefit people by a transparent and trusted blockchain technology. The addition of a renowned payment network to Libra’s list is good news for Facebook’s crypto project. As previous Libra’s giants left it due to strict scrutiny on the part of US regulators. These tech giants included Mastercard, Visa, and Stripe.

The CEO of London-based payments provider, Guillaume Pousaz, said:

“In the Libra Association, we found a group of peers that share in this philosophy and who demonstrated a thoughtful and realistic approach to how blockchain can be leveraged for the greater good. The Libra project holds the promise of increasing financial inclusion for billions of unbanked people, empowering them to participate in the digital economy and reducing disparities.”
