BitAccess has announced the launch of bitcoin purchases at thousands of retail locations across Canada. Customers will now be able to purchase bitcoin using a Flexepin voucher.

BitAccess, founded in November 2013, produces the world's leading Bitcoin Automatic Teller Machine (BTM). It has installed Bitcoin ATMs in a number of countries and is developing digital currency technologies that are secure, accessible and easy-to-use.

Available in 6,000 Canadian retail locations, Flexepin can be bought using cash or a debit card. It allows a user to buy up to $250 worth of bitcoin per day and comes in $10, $30, $50, $100 or $250 vouchers.

Buying a Flexepin bitcoin voucher is quite easy. Similar to purchasing a gift card, it has to bought from a store cashier. Following the purchase, a voucher is provided in the form of a receipt and in 60 seconds, the receipt can then be redeemed for the cash equivalent of bitcoin.

Users just need to find a store, which be done by visiting https://www.bitaccess.co/flexepin/, and pay the store cashier for a Flexepin voucher. In case the cashier is unable to find Flexepin, users simply need to tell them that it is on the prepaid machine and is similar to a paysafecard.

Users can redeem the voucher at https://bitcoin.bitaccess.co/ to add bitcoin to a digital wallet of their choice.

The company last month launched BitAccess Cash that allows any Bitcoin holder to send BTC to any BitAccess BTM for quick exchange into cash.
