The Steps

AQWIRE utilizes blockchain technology for validating transactions. While it is generally easy to validate transactions initiated on blockchain based currencies such as BTC, ETH, and LTC, it is more difficult to verify transactions on the blockchain when traditional payments network (credit/debit cards, electronic check/ACH, SWIFT, OTC) is used.

Payers can easily validate transactions even if they use traditional methods of payment services through Qwikwire’s gateway method that automatically records transactions on the blockchain using end-to-end multistage verification API.
