RE/MAX London, the UK-based franchisee of RE/MAX Europe, is now accepting bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin as payment for property rentals through a partnership with processor GoCoin.
The decision enables RE/MAX’s 16 London offices to accept the payment method, a move the franchise said would benefit both itself and its tenants. The franchise manages several hundred properties, mainly in central London.
Peggy Su, regional director at RE/MAX London, framed the deal as one that would bring the efficiencies of new payments technology to her operations.
Su said:
The partnership comes roughly one month after GoCoin diversified its merchant payout options with three new currencies, including the pound sterling.

GoCoin CEO Steve Beauregard added that RE/MAX London is only looking to payments as “one area of focus”, hinting it may look to leverage other potential benefits of bitcoin’s public ledger, the blockchain, in the future.
