Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Roy, the Co-Founder and CTO of Shakepay. For years, Shakepay has been laser-focused on making it easier for Canadians to buy and earn bitcoin. But as we’ve grown alongside our community, we realized there are more ways for us to make people’s financial lives a little easier. That’s why we’re stoked to add a new dimension to Shakepay: everyday payments using Canadian dollars. 🤔What’s Shakepay? Shakepay is a money app that allows Canadians to send money to friends, buy, earn, and send bitcoin or ethereum, and make payments effortlessly.

Meet our new everyday payments features 💰Direct deposit Deposit your paycheque and other payments directly into your account. We might spice up your paydays with a #shakepaid bonus of up to $1,000 in bitcoin. 🔁 Auto-buy You can choose to use a portion of your pay to auto-buy bitcoin or ethereum as soon as your paycheque lands in your account. 📬 Pay a bill Make payments for utilities, credit cards, and other life expenses. 💸 E-Transfer your friends Send money to anyone and share the love, one transfer at a time.

Been following the Shakepay team since 2015 and love this latest iteration -- Canadian banking has been stuck in the stone ages and it feels like Shakepay is bringing it into 2024.
The scariest thing about crypto has always been its approachability and usability. ShakePay normalizes crypto for everyday transactions, which is a few steps forward toward mass adoption. Love it!
Best app for Crypto purchases, has BTC and ETH, no withdrawal fees and free Satoshis for shaking phone! If you want to play safe and get people dear to you to invest - introduce them to Shakepay It’s very straightforward and intuitive to understand
Congrats on the launch - I'm always happy to see Canadian fintechs shipping awesome products. Customer acquisition must be tough when you're competing with the big Canadian banks. Are you able to offer interesting rewards/incentives for new users? How are you approaching that opportunity?
Congrats on the launch. Are e-transfers supported just between Shakepay accounts or can users send money to people that don't use Shakepay?
It's great seeing Canadian bitcoin makers share their work here. Not only to celebrate good effort, but to invite non-bitcoiners into the space *through* product.
Any thoughts of making a physical card for shakepay users? Would love to have one
Congratulations on the launch! The Direct deposit feature, in particular, sounds like a game-changer, and the potential for bonuses adds an exciting element to managing finances. I appreciate Shakepay's commitment to simplicity, transparency, and rewarding its users. Great work!
hey ?makers - how does one earn BTC or ETH through Shakepay? Is there any eligibility criteria for the user?
