Previously, Canada-based customers were only able to deposit funds via international wire transfers, subject to a 0.05% transaction fee.

The announcement follows San Francisco-based bitcoin exchange Kraken's partnership with Vogogo, which will also allow customers in Canada to convert dollars into digital currencies.
