Merchants are asking for faster and simpler ways to accept digital money. With digital wallets becoming the preferred way to pay—especially among Gen Z and Millennials—Bitcoin and stablecoins are quickly moving into everyday spending.
To support this shift, Speed and NCR have established a partnership agreement that allows NCR merchants to enable Bitcoin and stablecoin payments through Speed without extensive engineering or custom integration work. This brings modern digital payments directly into NCR’s self-checkout systems and custom POS flows while keeping store operations unchanged.
The setup is simple. The payment flow is familiar. And any NCR merchant can now add Bitcoin payments with Speed in a matter of minutes. Customers can scan a QR code, pay with Bitcoin, and complete their order in seconds. This provides a modern payment choice for guests—while giving stores a way to accept digital money without changing operations or training staff.
NCR powers some of the busiest restaurant and retail operations in the world. For these environments, small improvements in checkout speed, fee reduction, and reliability create meaningful business value.
Merchants see four major advantages:
Bitcoin payments on Speed confirm instantly—no waiting for card approvals, no declines due to fraud filters, and no PIN or signature steps.
This results in shorter lines and smoother operations during rush periods.
Card networks cost U.S. merchants $172B annually, with fees rising every year.
Bitcoin and stablecoin payments:
For high-volume restaurants and retailers, these savings add up fast.
More than 52 million Americans own crypto, and this audience actively seeks out merchants that accept their preferred digital money.
Supporting Bitcoin payments helps NCR merchants:
