## What is GPIB?

Get Paid In Bitcoin (GPIB) is an Australian fintech platform that enables any Australian worker to receive a portion of their after-tax wages in Bitcoin automatically, every pay cycle. No exchange account is required. No employer payroll integration is needed. The worker registers, nominates a dollar amount, and shares a GPIB bank account with their employer's payroll team — from that point, Bitcoin arrives in their wallet every payday.

GPIB is registered with AUSTRAC as a Digital Currency Exchange (DCE100576719-002) and operates under Australian law. The company was founded in 2021 and is based in Launceston, Tasmania.

## Core Products

### Wages in Bitcoin
Workers nominate a fixed dollar amount from their after-tax wages to be automatically converted to Bitcoin each pay cycle. GPIB converts at the live exchange rate, deducts a small fee, and sends Bitcoin directly to the worker's personal wallet.

### Pay Bills with Bitcoin
GPIB members can use their Bitcoin balance to pay everyday Australian household bills — electricity, gas, water, phone, internet, council rates, insurance, and more. Members upload their bill, GPIB handles the BPay payment on their behalf.

### Bits (Bitcoin Wages for Xero)
Bits is GPIB's Xero Payroll integration product. Employers using Xero can offer Bitcoin wages to employees as a payroll benefit. The employer pays AUD as normal; Bits converts and delivers Bitcoin to the employee. Zero cryptocurrency exposure for the business.
