The company adds new local payment methods across Europe, Latin America and Africa, extending a crypto exchange that already serves 180+ countries, as global demand for compliant crypto exchanges with broad local payment coverage grows.
Paybis, a global crypto exchange and B2B payment infrastructure provider, confirmed a new bench of local payment methods added to its exchange. Over the past two years, the company has steadily added region-specific payment methods to its exchange – from Brazil’s instant-payment system PIX and Kenya’s mobile money network M-Pesa, to Chile’s Webpay and Poland’s BLIK – with the goal of making crypto purchases easier, wherever a customer happens to be.
The latest addition is MB WAY, the mobile payment method used by more than 5 million people in Portugal and supported by roughly 95% of the country’s banks. Customers can now confirm a crypto purchase with the same phone number and PIN they already use for everyday payments, skipping card entry and bank-transfer wait times entirely. It is a small addition on its own, but it illustrates the pattern behind Paybis’s growth strategy: rather than asking the world to adapt to a handful of international rails, we are adding dozens of local ones.

A Global Push Behind a Local Launch
The MB Way integration lands alongside a wider set of upgrades to Paybis for both individual and business customers, including faster identity verification and broader currency coverage. Paybis now supports more than 20 local and international payment methods (like PIX, FPS, BLIK, M-Pesa, Webpay, SPEI and MB WAY) and over 90 cryptocurrencies across more than 70 fiat currencies.
“Every region has its own habits around money: a phone number and a PIN in Portugal, a QR code in Brazil, a mobile wallet in Kenya,” Paul Afshar, Paybis Growth Lead commented. “Our philosophy is making crypto easy – each new local payment method we add is one more reason for someone to buy, sell or swap crypto with Paybis.”
