College Concierge® Announces Decision on Cryptocurrency and AI to Better Assist International Students with Major Purchases

College Concierge® looks to be one of the first players in the higher education support field to offer cryptocurrency as a mode of payment for international student’s essential lifestyle purchases.

College Concierge® is developing plans to accept cryptocurrency for student purchases from housing, automotive, insurance, school/living supplies, and eventually school tuition. “Our research has found in 2018, college students, especially international students, are comfortable transacting in cryptocurrency and it makes total sense for us to accept crypto as payment for many of the student’s major purchases. Our desire to add cryptocurrency to our current ability to accept WeChat Pay, Ali-Pay, and all major credit cards provides us a mobile payment solution that’s completely flexible, and in line with what students expect in 2018.” said Brett Lippel, CEO and founder.
