> Your secure, compliant crypto payment gateway

CoinGate is a cryptocurrency payment processor. It helps businesses accept digital asset payments and lets individuals buy or sell crypto with cards or bank transfers.

CoinGate is a cryptocurrency payment processor that enables businesses to accept digital asset payments and lets individuals buy and sell crypto using cards or bank transfers. The company provides a payment gateway, billing tools, a multi-currency account for depositing, converting, and withdrawing funds, and a gift card marketplace. It is licensed as a crypto-asset service provider and payment institution within the European Union, giving its payment infrastructure a regulated compliance framework similar to traditional payment providers.

The platform addresses the gap between merchants seeking to accept digital assets and customers who hold cryptocurrency but want to spend it on everyday goods and services. Checkout integrations, plugins, and payment channels let online stores add crypto acceptance to existing e-commerce setups, while conversion tools let merchants settle in fiat or hold balances in digital assets. Personal users can buy cryptocurrencies with a card or bank transfer, sell crypto back to fiat, and spend holdings through a directory of merchants and gift cards.

Flagship offerings include the CoinGate checkout for merchants, a multi-currency account for depositing and converting digital assets, and a gift card marketplace covering categories such as travel, gaming, and retail. Businesses use the platform to accept and manage cryptocurrency payments, while individual users rely on it to purchase, sell, and spend crypto without needing a merchant account.
