About BhutanQR
In Bhutan, QR codes are paid through BhutanQR, operated by the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan. BhutanQR is the country's unified QR standard for bank and wallet payments.
You will see BhutanQR codes at shops, cafés, hotels and handicraft markets. With QRiks every one of them can be paid with USDT, and the merchant receives Bhutanese ngultrums as usual.
Can I pay BhutanQR codes without a Bhutanese bank account?
Yes. With QRiks you scan the BhutanQR code and pay with USDT. A vetted payer in Bhutan pays the merchant from their own Bhutanese account, so you don't need a local bank account, card or phone number.
What does the merchant in Bhutan receive?
The merchant receives Bhutanese ngultrums (BTN) through BhutanQR, exactly like a payment from a local customer. They don't need to know about QRiks or accept crypto.
What do I pay with?
USDT on Polygon from your QRiks wallet. The quote shows the exchange rate, our fee and the network cost before you confirm.
Who runs BhutanQR?
BhutanQR is operated by the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan.
What if the payment doesn't go through?
Your USDT stays in escrow until an independent validator in Bhutan confirms that the merchant was paid. If the merchant wasn't paid, your USDT is returned.
Where can I pay with BhutanQR in Bhutan?
