UK-Based Crypto Platform Launches $1.45 Million Crowdfund Campaign to Bank the Unbanked
Nebeus, the London-based crypto platform, has launched a 1.1 million pound ($1.45 million) crowdfunding campaign as they set out their ambitious goal of bringing financial services to people around the world. According to the World Bank, there are 1.7 billion adults globally who remain unbanked, yet two-thirds of them own a mobile phone that they could use for online banking. The Nebeus’ campaign went live on Sept. 24, 2018 and has already attracted more than 400,000 pounds ($527,490).
Backed by industry expert Brett King, the Nebeus campaign will last until October 23, 2018. Currently operating in 45 countries, they now plan for expansion across Europe, Asia and South America. The company wants to make banking simple for people and encourages a wider use of cryptocurrency in everyday spending, offering user-friendly Bitcoin wallets and its recently launched Exo card. The new prepaid card allows users to seamlessly convert crypto into fiat, making transactions convenient online, offline and even at ATMs.
“We want to create an ecosystem where those who add value are rewarded, and those
who consume services and products can do so in a competitive and secure
environment, built on blockchain technology. Our current campaign will bring us a step
closer to achieving this,” Konstantin Zaripov, co-founder and CEO of Nebeus, said.
