Croatian Post note that the running of their pilot project has shown that there is indeed an interest in this type of service, which is why they will offer cryptocurrency purchases at post offices across the country.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 11th of December, 2019, Croatian Post (HP) announced on Wednesday that it is expanding its cryptocurrency buying service to a total of 55 post offices in all Croatian counties, and has also announced that it will be possible to buy cryptocurrencies in the future at Croatian Post branches.

"Following the successful implementation and good results of our pilot project to buy cryptocurrencies in Zadar's post offices, Croatian Post is extending this service to a total of 55 post offices in all counties," HP said in a statement.

All Croatian and foreign users will be able to change their cryptocurrencies into kuna in a few simple steps, they say.

After an application is submitted, a QR code is scanned and the cash is received at the post office. It is possible to replace the five most commonly used cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stellar, Ripple and EOS, Croatian Post explained, adding that detailed information on all services can be found on the website crypto.posta.hr.

"In recent years, more and more cryptocurrency users have been planning their trips in places where they can exchange their digital money into local currency. With the wide range of this service, Croatian cities will become even more interesting to many visitors," a statement from Croatian Post said.

A list of all Croatian post offices offering this service can be found on the Crypto Centre portal (crypto.posta.hr), where a calculator is also available, which can help you find out how much kuna is offered for each cryptocurrency.

"The plan is to introduce the possibility of buying cryptocurrencies in Croatian Post post offices in the future, which will make the offices the central place for dealing with cryptocurrencies in numerous places across Croatia," they announced, noting that digitalisation is one of Croatian Post's development strategies and a driver numerous business projects.

Remember all the bitcoin range from not so long ago? While the subject might have died down a little over the last few years, it's still relevant to many. While Croatian Post often gets little other than rather negative press, it seems they've taken a rather unexpected leap into the modern world.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 25th of July, 2019, there have been an increasing number of users of bitcoin and other crypto-currencies over the last several years, and Croatian Post (Hrvatska Pošta), with its current national network of 1,016 postal offices, wants to further contribute to bitcoin's overall popularity.

Owners of crypto-currencies who want to replace their virtual money for cold hard cash, more specifically the Croatian kuna, no longer need to seek out a crypto-currency cash machine or bank. As of July the 15th, 2019, they have been able to switch their bitcoins for kuna thanks to Croatian Post.

As they reported themselves from Croatian Post, all domestic and foreign users of crypto-currencies can change it to the Croatian kuna in Zadar post offices. You're probably envisioning a lengthy, ridiculous process and unjustifiable waiting times, just as with almost everything else in Croatia, right? You'd be wrong, at least this time. According to Croatian Post, the process can be completed in just a few very simple steps.

After the application is filed, the QR code is scanned and in the post office can then raise the cash. It is currently possible to switch the five most commonly used crypto-currencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stellar, Ripple and EOS), to the kuna.

This interesting and surprisingly modern pilot project, in cooperation with another Croatian company, Electrocoin, which has been running bitcoin-mjenjacnica.hr for five whole years now, has been implemented in three post offices in Zadar (Škožići Benje 1, Josip Juraj Strossmayera 8, and Maslenica Street 1), and at these locations, the level of interest for this type of service will be showcased.
