Bakkt to be integrated as payment method for
BringMeThat.com customers as well as bringing crypto as a payment
option for drivers
Bakkt Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BKKT), a trusted digital asset
platform that enables consumers to buy, sell, send and spend a
range of digital assets, announces the company’s first partnership
in the gig economy with food delivery service BringMeThat.com.
BringMeThat.com connects independent restaurants in thousands of
cities across the country and enables customers to place their food
order online or in their App to get fresh food quickly. Bakkt will
be integrated as a payment option within the company’s web and
mobile experiences, allowing customers to pay with cash,
participating points or crypto that they hold in the Bakkt App. In
addition, Bakkt will launch Earn Crypto to enable drivers working
with BringMeThat.com to select crypto as a payment method via
Bakkt.
“Our partnership with BringMeThat.com is an exciting step as
Bakkt diversifies its offerings to dynamic sectors of the economy
and opens the door for millions of gig workers and consumers to
leverage digital assets into their income and payment methods,”
said Sheela Zemlin, Chief Revenue Officer at Bakkt. “Bakkt’s
partnership with BringMeThat.com will enable a number of new ways
to enjoy digital assets, whether using participating rewards points
to pay for food delivery or getting paid in bitcoin or Ethereum on
your delivery run as part of a rapidly growing base of gig economy
workers.”
Similar to the digital asset landscape, the gig economy is
increasingly multi-faceted and companies in the space continue to
drive increased popularity and brand affinity. Bakkt’s flexible and
customizable platform provides the opportunity to implement
creative crypto applications that enhance the customer and, in this
case, worker experience.
“We couldn’t be more excited to work with Bakkt to introduce
crypto payments and rewards to our customers and drivers,” said
Derek Beckmann, CEO of BringMeThat.com. “We’re committed to
empowering gig drivers’ financial success and believe crypto
payment options will meaningfully separate us from competitors as
crypto incentives and purchases from gig drivers continue to
grow.”
