UK-based JG Pest Control has become the first UK environmental company to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment, the company reports.
JG Pest Control CEO James Gale, a businessman, developer and entrepreneur, has built JG exponentially since 2010. Gale is now making waves again, this time in the cryptocurrency world with his other business Koda Cryptocurrency, a new concept and idea he says has been gaining real traction with early investors since its inception in May 2021.
Developed by SummitBC Ltd, the company shares its unique offices in Uxbridge, West London, with JG Pest Control and Koda/SummitBC now boasts over 40 staff.
Since May 2021 JG Pest Control has accepted Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, DOGE coin and Koda token as payment, which includes a 10% discount if any of these cryptocurrencies are used in a purchase.
A customer with an urgent wasp issue recently had this resolved by paying in Ethereum, currently the world’s second largest cryptocurrency. The company also accepted a payment in Koda back in May.
Sam Devereux, general manager of JG Pest Control, said, "Having worked for JG Pest Control for almost nine years, I have helped and watched the company grow into a market leader. James and the team have achieved this with innovation and an attitude of always staying one step ahead of our competitors.”
