Cryptocurrency Platform Nebeus Opens Access to Crypto Finance For The African Regions

  LONDON, UK - 03/05/2018 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

African regions have leapfrogged many developed countries by introducing mobile banking to the mass market. The success of M-Pesa in Kenya and many other digital payment platforms from the African regions have been considered as a benchmark by various scholarsand businesses around the world. 

Starting from today, residents of Uganda, Kenya, Cameroon, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa can have full access to the suite of Nebeus services. The pay-in and pay out corridors include: Mobile Money (MTN) for Cameroon, Mobile Money (Vodacom, Airtel, Tigo) for Tanzania, MasterCard, Verve (Cards) and Online Banking for Nigeria, Mobile Money (MTN) for Nigeria, Mobile Money (MTN, Airtel, Tigo, Vodafone) for Ghana and Airtel Money, Mobile Money (MTN) for Uganda and M-Pesa in Kenya.

Customers from these countries will be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, have access to crypto-collateral loans, crypto remittance and enjoy many other benefits which come hand in hand with access to the world of crypto finance. 

An established network of local payment methods varying from M-Pesa in Kenya, to Verve in Nigeria, will provide access to crypto finance for a population in excess of 440 million people. Remittance into an African region plays a significant role in its economy. According to a study by The World Bank, “African countries are estimated to have received $40 billion in officially recorded flows in 2010, but the true size is believed to be far larger”. The goal for Nebeus is to become the last mile solution provider for this pivotal part of the African economy.

Alex Lempka, Nebeus’ Director of Communications, comments: “Cryptocurrencies have a potential to make a significant impact on developing countries in many ways by providing a bridge into the global economy. Nebeus is looking forward to playing a major role in that by providing necessary infrastructure for all participants”.
