About this app

Unleash your electronic cash—instantly—with just one tap and no fees. Powered by Flexa, SPEDN makes it possible to spend Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies without needing to cash out to US dollars or load a plastic card. Instead, just take your phone or tablet into any store that accepts Flexa, tap the brand where you’d like to spend your cryptocurrency, and scan your unique flexcode for payment.

LOAD
Tap the coin you want to load into the SPEDN app, and then reveal a unique deposit address in order to easily load the balance of your choice from any other cryptocurrency exchange service.

TAP
When you’re ready to spend, just open SPEDN, tap the name of the Flexa-accepting store where you’d like to use your cryptocurrency, and reveal your flexcode for instant payment at point-of-sale.

PAY
Finally, have your cashier scan the dynamic flexcode that appears on screen. In seconds, your cryptocurrency balance is converted into dollars, covering all or part of your purchase, and your transaction is complete.

SPEDN currently supports Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and the Gemini dollar (GUSD), with many more coins coming soon.

Ratings and reviews

Laughably bad app. Can't get past the sign up process. Directs you to your email address, instructions tell you to open their link from your phone, which launches their app, but then requires to go through the same process. It's an endless loop. Overengineered to a point that it just doesn't work. Instead of just providing a 6 digit verification code in the email, they try to automate the process and fail spectacularly since new users can't even complete registration. Doesn't instill confidence.

Install and registration works well. However right after a deposit of 100 doge into the flexa spedn app, it won't open. So electronic currency cannot be spent and you must keep in mind that flexa cannot withdraw funds. Added functionality to allow spending is certainly required, but I've been contacted directly and the team has assured me that they are working on an update to fix this issue with some devices. Galaxy A71 and the like.

Tried to pay at chipotle, can't read it. So the promotion for "proof of steak" is over, no big deal, I knew it would be temporary. But now I still have money on the app, and I know chipotle takes it, so I tried to spend money there with Spedn. No can do, just keeps throwing up an error for the cashier every time I try to scan it. "Card number mismatch" or something. Highly frustrating that this money is just stuck in their possession now...
