<p>With <a href="https://www.lightspark.com/news/lightspark-extend-announcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lightspark Extend</a>, businesses can now effortlessly send UMA-powered payments to eligible recipients across the United States. UMAs (Unified Messaging Addresses) simplify the process of sending value. They allow users to send payments using a human-friendly address, similar to an email, instead of remembering long codes or passwords. This makes it easier and faster for businesses and individuals to make transactions, reducing the friction often associated with digital payments.</p> 
<p>The integration of <a href="https://www.lightspark.com/uma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UMA</a> with the Bitcoin Lightning Network through Lightspark Extend represents a significant advancement. It allows UMA and Lightning-enabled wallets to send Bitcoin payments to over 99% of US banks accepting real-time payments. This broad compatibility ensures that businesses can offer their customers a seamless payment experience. Funds are transferred directly to eligible recipients’ bank accounts in an instant.</p>
