Is BitPay a Bitcoin Wallet?

As the world’s first and largest full-service Bitcoin payment processor, BitPay is often thought of as a Bitcoin wallet. But while BitPay does provide a wallet service, we don’t consider ourselves a true wallet provider like Blockchain.

info, Armory or Breadwallet. .

Why? Well, first and foremost, BitPay is focused on providing businesses with the tools they need to accept Bitcoin payments. This means that our team spends very little time working on features for individuals and consumers.

NOTE: Warning: BitPay is not a Bitcoin wallet. It is an online payment service that allows users to pay in Bitcoin and receive payments in U.S. Dollars, Euros, and other currencies without the need for a bank account or credit card. It is not designed to store, transfer or otherwise manage Bitcoin holdings.

Second, we believe that there are already plenty of great wallets to choose from and our users are better served by using one of those wallets rather than our own.

So while BitPay can technically be considered a Bitcoin wallet provider, we prefer to think of ourselves as something different: the easiest way to accept Bitcoin payments.
