This innovative platform aims to tackle the challenges of financial exclusion, exorbitant transaction fees, and limited banking access prevalent in many African countries.
At the core of the NeoNomad platform is ZARcoin (ZARC), a stablecoin pegged to the South African Rand.
By seamlessly integrating cryptocurrency and traditional currency, ZARC facilitates swift and secure digital transactions both domestically and internationally.
The platform also ensures transparency and accountability through rigorous adherence to anti-money laundering, counter-financing of terrorism, know-your-customer, and privacy regulations.
“Our goal is to empower individuals to make informed financial decisions,” said Hanres Beukes, CEO of NeoNomad. “By creating a robust financial ecosystem, we aim to overcome barriers like infrastructure limitations and enable greater financial participation.”
Leveraging Solana Pay technology, the NeoNomad app offers instant, low-cost transactions through a decentralized e-banking system.
Users can effortlessly make cryptocurrency payments at physical stores by scanning QR codes, thanks to seamless integration with existing point-of-sale systems.
NeoNomad’s hybrid exchange platform represents a significant step forward in financial inclusion for Africa, promising to transform people’s interactions with money.
