Virtual Banking Beyond Borders

Providing virtual financial services beyond the bank branch…

As families are forced to flee persecution around the world, they have little time to grab limited cash and valuables before leaving their homes. During the long and dangerous journey, refugees face peril at every step. Violence, theft, and natural disasters claim family fortunes and diminish hope. Outside of forfeiting value, carrying cash is often the only option. On top of being inconvenient and expensive to exchange across borders, this exposes families to additional risk.

Integrated virtual financial services for security and efficiency

Instead of using a multi-currency cash system that attracts the attention of thieves or corrupt border guards, refugees can utilize the security and convenience of digital savings through a mobile phone to secure assets while in-flight. Safe storage and transport of assets across borders reduces risk while creating an economy identity.

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Leaf is developing a mobile application platform to facilitate cash to virtual currency conversion through blockchain technology…

Blockchain technology with its distributed ledger, decentralized administration, and secure cryptography presents an opportunity to provide affordable financial services to refugees crossing through multiple countries.

Leaf converts cash through virtual currency into stable investments, protecting refugees from currency volatility. Accessing the mobile platform does not require a smartphone. Friends and family abroad can also contribute into a refugee’s account, creating bridges within networks dispersed by trauma. Whenever the refugee reaches a point of safety, they can withdraw into the new local currency or use their balance as collateral on a microloan.
