We are pleased to announce partnerships with three leading banks within the EAC region. Through these partnerships, the product “SPENN” can digitalize the economy in three new markets.
Blockbonds believes it is a human right for everyone to have access to financial services.
As the leading actor in banking the unbanked, Blockbonds is the first company to solve the autonomous interaction between the banked and the unbanked.
“It is with great pleasure that we can announce these partnerships. Not only will this give us a great start into the African market, but it sets a foundation for us contributing to the pan-African financial inclusion over the next years,” CEO Jens Glaso said.
SPENN is the product of Blockbonds. Through its unique in-field distribution and cost-free end-to-end solution, Blockbonds is reaching an untapped market, including the banked population, through its strong partnerships with banks. Blockbonds takes corporate social responsibility by providing financial empowerment, as well as introducing free real-time payments, for the bank’s new and existing customers.
With an advanced financial platform built into a user-friendly mobile app, combining chat, real-time payments and a bank account wrapped around the blockchain, SPENN is digitalizing the existing cash-based ecosystem and is the only way to digitalize an entire national currency.
SPENN is a pan-global solution, with the possibility to support any currency. We are currently focusing on 7 markets with a total population of 1.7 billion.
