Online payments company Optimal Payments have agreed a deal with the global bitcoin payment service provider BitPay, enabling customers to use bitcoin to top up their NETELLER accounts.

Bitcoin fans will be pleased to know that NETELLER will be accepting the digital currency after parent company Optimal Payments agreed a deal with the global bitcoin payment service provider BitPay.

It’s quite the reversal for NETELLER. In the summer they changed their conditions of services, making it crystal clear that ‘virtual currency’ would not be allowed to take their shoes off and walk onto their white carpet.

The new deposit option is already available on the NETELLER site. The word ‘FREE’ standing out like a middle finger, on a hand containing nothing but percentage fee sore thumbs.
