Crypto & eSIM

Why Crypto Payments for eSIM Make Sense in 2024

SkyLimit Team February 14, 2026 1 min read

In an increasingly connected world, two technologies stand out for their ability to transcend borders: cryptocurrency and eSIM. While they might seem unrelated at first glance, they share a fundamental philosophy—making the world more accessible, regardless of where you are.

The Problem with Traditional Payments

When you're traveling internationally, traditional payment methods often fall short:

  • Credit card foreign transaction fees (typically 2-3%)
  • Currency conversion costs
  • Potential card blocks from suspicious \"foreign\" activity
  • Privacy concerns with payment tracking

Why Crypto is Perfect for Travel Tech

Cryptocurrency solves these problems elegantly:

  • Borderless: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins work the same whether you're in Tokyo or Toronto
  • Low fees: Pay the same rate regardless of your location
  • Privacy: Your travel patterns aren't tracked through payment data
  • Speed: Instant confirmation, instant delivery

How SkyLimit Makes It Easy

At SkyLimit, we've integrated BitPay and Coinbase Commerce to accept over 100 cryptocurrencies. Whether you prefer Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, or any other major cryptocurrency, purchasing your eSIM is seamless.

The process is simple: select your plan, choose crypto at checkout, scan the QR code with your wallet, and your eSIM arrives in seconds. No banks, no borders, no problems.
