Over 6 000 employees can now get their salary in bitcoins

In a response to growing demand from its users, finnish umbrella company UKKO.fi has added bitcoin as a new payment option. In co-operation with Bittiraha.fi, it is now possible to get paid in bitcoins.

Having received a great deal of inquiries concerning a possibility of bitcoin payments from our users, we decided to make it an option. The first users for this new payment option are most likely people working in the IT-sector but as bitcoin becomes more well-known, we believe that more and more people will also start using it in our service.” Olli Kopakkala Head of Marketing in UKKO.fi said.

UKKO.fi takes care of taxes before the currency exchange. Exchanged bitcoins can be saved in the users virtual wallet.

UKKO.fi offers umbrella company-services for a growing number of self-employed workers. There are over 150 000 self-employed workers in Finland ranging from graphic designers to hairdressers, freelance writers and artists. Some of them work full-time and some only part-time.
