Breaking: Omise Partners with McDonald's in Thailand for Seamless Payments

The Asian financial technology company Omise, related to the cryptocurrency project OmiseGo (OMG) will partner with the Thai online portal of McDonald's to offer a smoother payment experience for online orders. The service will also be extended to the McDelivery Thailand mobile app.

So far, there is no information whether payments would be possible in cryptocurrencies. But this partnership is yet another possibility for OmiseGo to show its strength and support its token price.

The Omise system white-labels card payments so that the user stays on the page or in the app the whole time, without the need for redirections to a payment processing service. There have been talks about Omise partnering with McDonald's, but the information was officially confirmed just in the past day.

“The consumer’s experience begins right when they place the order online, and payments are a critical component of that experience. Offering highly secure, seamless payment options across all platforms and devices is key to delivering a seamless experience for McDonald’s customers.”

said Jun Hasegawa, CEO & Founder of Omise.

Omise’s platform provides a smoother consumer journey because of its seamless checkout process which increases conversion rates for businesses.

For investors in OMG, this news was immediately met with "To the moon!" calls. OMG received another injection of good news as the weekend conference in Seoul promoted the project. Vitalik Buterin himself spoke on the potential of OMG to handle transactions.

OmiseGo is one of the few blockchain companies that had an already established financial technology business even before the token sale this summer. Along with NEO, OMG is considered one of the most promising Asian blockchain projects. Recently, the OMG token was added to the Exodus wallet, widening its user base.
