About Shakepay

Shakepay is a Montreal app founded in 2015 for buying bitcoin and ether. It is known for its bitcoin cashback card, which gives users a small amount of bitcoin back when they pay for everyday purchases.

It suits people who are curious about cryptocurrency and want a simple, Canadian-based app to get started. As with any crypto, prices can swing widely, so it is wise to start small and only use money you can afford to see go up and down. It is also part of Montreal's growing fintech scene, built by a local team.
