Crunchfish

By enabling merchants to return change digitally, Crunchfish decreases the logistical burden of managing coins and small denominations, significantly reducing the operational cost of handling physical cash. This solution may be the needed silver bullet use case for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), allowing merchants to seamlessly return digital change in central bank backed currency, without disrupting existing payment flows.

To successfully deploy this solution in the market, payment network providers play a critical role by equipping users with the ability to receive offline payments. Anyone who can make payments online can now receive payments offline. Enabling all users to receive change digitally is the critical first step to creating the foundation of an offline payment system in a market and accelerates the end-user adoption of offline wallets to make digital payments more resilient. This approach not only resolves the merchant’s pain point regarding coin handling but also paves the way for offline ecosystems to scale efficiently, making Crunchfish’s offering vital for central banks, payment networks and payment service providers alike to deliver a robust payment ecosystem for both end-users and merchants.

Crunchfish exhibits at the The Asia Cash Cycle Seminar as a silver sponsor with CEO Joachim Samuelsson and Business Director of AsiaPac Robert Soden attending. The seminar is the premier global event for commercial cash management, distribution, and circulation and unites key stakeholders from Central Banks, Commercial Banks, Cash in Transit (CIT), Cash Management, and cash industry participants to share insights, strategies, and cost-saving innovations shaping the future of cash.
