Bitso has begun offering Bitcoin payroll services to Mexican workers. Thanks to a partnership with payroll service Bitwage, the cryptocurrency exchange now allows workers to be paid in Bitcoin and receive pesos.

According to Bitso CEO Pablo Gonzalez, expanding payroll to Bitcoin expands opportunities for Mexican workers, especially freelancers, to find work internationally, as well as cut down on logistics and transaction feeds of being paid in their own currency.

He says:

“In Bitso, we are all about empowering Mexicans with real Bitcoin solutions that make a difference in their lives. Our partnership with Bitwage just does that. It opens up the doors for freelancers in Mexico to seek international opportunities using the most efficient payment rail with the lowest transfer fees. We have an incredible pool of talent down here -it’s time for the world to witness!”

The rise of cryptocurrency has further hastened the global trend towards interconnectedness, adding a financial aspect of a borderless world as the internet has already made headway with the informational aspect.

For Marco Montes Neri, CEO of Saldo.mx, which allows workers in the United States to remotely pay bills of friends and relatives in Mexico, as well as cross-border injury and life microinsurance, Bitcoin helps transcend financial borders in ways not previously possible.
