Our Story

Simplifying Crypto Transactions for Everyday Use

Pay It Now was established to provide a simple, affordable, and secure way to transact with cryptocurrency. Existing payment methods were slow, expensive and complicated, making everyday transactions like buying a cup of coffee with cryptocurrency a real challenge. Businesses also struggled with limited infrastructure, while many blockchain companies prioritized consumer-focused products, often neglecting the needs of the business community.

At PIN, we understand the importance of making blockchain accessible to everyone. That’s why we created the PIN Network, a unique blockchain ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain, serving as the much needed catalyst for widespread adoption.

“When a pilot was made redundant during Covid, he turned his attention to something completely different: Cryptocurrency.”

Facing a career change when the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2019, due to redundancy from a major international airline. Craig drew on his experience in cryptocurrency trading, mining and IT development, a critical gap in New Zealand’s market was observed; the need for a fast, secure, and user-friendly crypto payment solution.

Motivated by this discovery, Craig set out to build the infrastructure necessary to make cryptocurrency a practical and widely adopted form of everyday currency.
