What functionality do ATMs have? With these devices, Walmart clients can buy bitcoin for cash. After entering the funds into the bill acceptor, users receive a paper card with the code. Next, clients need to register on CoinMe’s wallet site and undergo a verification procedure. After that, the funds will be credited to an account minus a commission of 4% for the purchase. An additional fee of 7% is charged for the cash exchange.

The system will be tested in dozens of chain stores. If the terminals are popular, Walmart will continue to place them in other outlets.
