HubrisOne

Idea

Introduction

We’re transforming the way people manage their cryptocurrency assets, enabling users to create multi-currency current accounts and execute instant blockchain-powered cross border payments all within a few taps.

Mission:
• Increase Adaption: Increase cryptocurrency adoption globally.

• Connect: Connect the old world of traditional banking with the new world of cryptocurrencies.

• Bank the Unbanked: Provide basic banking services for the unbanked population.

The HubrisOne platform enables customers to:
• Access, manage and view all their existing bank accounts via an API (Open Banking).

• Creates an industry needed on-ramp and off-ramp for cryptocurrency investors.

• Instantly create new multi-currency bank accounts digitally, targeted to the unbanked population.

• Easily buy, sell and manage cryptocurrency assets.

• Execute instant, traceable, low-cost cross-border transfers all within a few taps.

• Access third-party services and solutions through the integrated marketplace.

Intended impact

We're seeking to disrupt three key growth sectors. Remittance, cryptocurrencies and challenger bank market. Combined these markets are more than $600bn.

• We started this mission when we understood the magnitude and impact that blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and digital challenger banks were going to have on our day to day lives and the future of monetary system as we know it.

• As early adapters of blockchain technology, we understood the benefits, however, we struggled to understand why this technology had not been implemented and integrated into our day to day lives. We want to change this and bring the technology to the fingertips of more people globally.

• We quickly realised that there was a lack of solutions in the current market that was user-friendly and innovative. This is where we saw the gap and the opportunity.

• It's our mission to make it easier for new entrants to gain access to the cryptocurrency market using a user-friendly approach.
