The Mexican food chain Chipotle has announced customers can now start making payments in Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and other cryptos using Flexa.
As per a post by Flexa, customers can now start paying at the Mexican restaurant chain Chipotle using digital currencies.
Chipotle Mexican Grill is an American chain of fast casual restaurants operating in a number of countries like the US, UK, Germany, and Canada.
Users can now pay in cryptos like Bitcoin and Dogecoin in each of the 2,975+ restaurants in the United States. As of now, the announcement doesn’t mention support for the other countries.
Flexa is a pure-digital payments network that allows users to easily spend their digital currencies at physical stores.
The payments provider is already integrated by popular apps Gemini and SPEDN, with Dash Wallet, Argent, and others also working on adding it in the near future.

The network is also carbon negative as it uses verified carbon offsets to balance the emissions caused by its blockchain and operating activities.
Stores in the United States that accept Flexa payments include Nordstrom, GameStop, Lowe’s, and Petco (and now Chipotle also joins the list).
At present, Flexa supports 98 currencies, including coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. Shiba Inu was also added to the service late last year.
To celebrate Chipotle supporting the payments network, users will get 10% off on their next purchase at the Mexican chain when paying with any Flexa-enabled app.
