Leaf Global Fintech
Leaf is a global, virtual bank for vulnerable populations crossing borders.
They developed a blockchain-based money management solution for refugees and migrants to store, send, and exchange money globally without requiring a smartphone or internet.
Leaf stores and transports assets across borders from a mobile device—no smartphone required. Refugees and migrants can journey without cash, knowing accounts are safe and accessible globally. Leaf enables customers to digitally store savings, receive deposits from abroad, and manage money from a mobile device no matter where they go. Digitizing services drastically reduces exchange and transfer fees for customers.
