DitoBanx enhances the financial market in El Salvador and launches a digital wallet that allows consumers to spend their cryptocurrencies

By DitoBanx

DitoBanx, a Salvadorian Fintech focused on financial inclusion, has launched an innovative product for the Salvadorian market: Dito Wallet, a digital wallet powered by a Mastercard prepaid card.


This new product, available for download on app stores starting in June, will allow users to sell their Bitcoin and USDC stablecoin holdings and upload the fiat currency into their Mastercard prepaid card, which can be used at over 100 million acceptance locations worldwide.


The launch of this product will allow Salvadorians to download the app from their smartphone’s app store and, after a quick registration process, will immediately provide them with a Mastercard digital prepaid card. In addition, users will also be able to request a physical card through the app.




Guillermo Contreras, DitoBanx CEO, considered this product launch a massive step towards financial inclusion in the country: “At DitoBanx, we are focused on financial inclusion, and Bitcoin as a key element of this process, since it allows users to make payments and receive money instantly, from anywhere in the world, at all times. To obtain it, you only need to be of legal age, have an ID and a phone number.”The digital wallet powered by a Mastercard prepaid card provides Salvadorian users with relevant benefits, as pointed out by Contreras: “Users can pay their water, electricity, and phone bills, and other 120 services directly through the app, or they can withdraw cash from their balance at an ATM, through a corresponding or a traditional bank account.”
