  • What does 'remittance' means ?
    Remittance refers to the act of sending money or transferring funds from one location, typically a foreign country, to another, usually the sender's home country or a designated recipient. Remittances are commonly made by individuals who have migrated to another country for work or other purposes and send a portion of their earnings back to their families or loved ones in their home country. Remittance payments can be sent through various channels, including banks, money transfer operators, online platforms, or mobile payment services. These funds play a crucial role in supporting the recipient's financial well-being, providing financial stability, covering daily expenses, supporting education, healthcare, and contributing to overall economic development in the receiving country.
  • Who are the unbanked in the world.
    The unbanked in Africa refer to individuals or households who do not have access to basic financial services, particularly formal banking services. They lack bank accounts, credit cards, and other traditional financial products. The unbanked population is predominantly found in rural areas, low-income communities, and marginalized groups such as women, youth, and refugees. These individuals often rely on informal financial services, cash transactions, and community-based savings systems to meet their financial needs. Lack of access to formal financial services can limit their economic opportunities, hinder financial inclusion, and make it challenging to save, invest, or access credit. Nymo is dedicated to addressing the issue of financial inclusion in Africa through its innovative solutions and mobile banking platform. We strive to provide access to formal financial services for the unbanked population, including those in rural areas and marginalized communities. By leveraging our platform, individuals who were previously excluded from traditional banking can now enjoy the benefits of financial inclusion, empowering them to save, invest, and participate in the formal economy.
  • How does the platform works ?
    For example, a Diaspora wants to send money to his brother in Nigeria. 1. Canadian diaspora purchases NYMO stablecoins using alternative payment methods. 2. NYMO transfers stablecoins to recipient's digital wallet in Nigeria. 3. Recipient uses stablecoins for healthcare, social security, education, and government services. 4. Recipient's service provider receives stablecoins as payment. 5. Service provider exchanges stablecoins for local currency via NYMO's platform and partner bank. 6. Local currency disbursed to service provider, recipient's stablecoins burned.
