Bylls Lets Canadians Pay Bills in Bitcoin

By Danny Bradbury, Coindesk.com

Canadian government officials may not think that bitcoin is legal tender, but thanks to a new startup, you can still pay your taxes in it – along with a lot of other bills. Canadian firm Bylls has become one of the first to offer bill payment in bitcoins. The service, only available in Canada at present, enables users to pay around 6,000 Canadian organisations – including the government – in bitcoins, by handling the fiat conversion for you.

This isn’t Spano’s first rodeo. He has a background in finance, and originally founded a local bitcoin trading website called Northland Bitcoins. Canadian bank RBC closed that site’s bank account, around the same time that it closed the account for Canadian bitcoin exchange Virtex. But instead of being discouraged, Spano searched for a new business model.
