COTI joins forces with Blue Cellular to develop a solution for the unbanked population in South AfricaCOTI, an enterprise-grade Fintech platform, is proud to announce its collaboration with Blue Cellular, a leading telecom company based in South Africa.
COTI will be building a payment solution for the unbanked population in South Africa through the issuance of the Blue Rand currency in cooperation with
Blue Cellular, a leading telecoms distribution specialist in South Africa. This will enable users without access to a bank account to digitize their cash, transfer funds to friends and family, and use their digital money at various retailers across South Africa.
Unbanked users wishing to digitize their cash will be able to open an online account with Blue Cellular. Cash can then be deposited at a local kiosk to receive the equivalent amount in Blue Rand, a stable coin pegged to the South African Rand.
COTI supports both fiat- and crypto-collateralized stable coins that may be customized per user requirements. Blockchain-collateralized stable coins are issued and secured using on-chain smart contracts. A decentralized council will oversee all compliance and maintain absolute transparency for asset-collateralized stable coins. By solving the shortcomings of previous blockchains, COTI’s Trustchain technology will be utilized by Blue Cellular to meet their requirements for a price stable coin that is cost-effective, extremely fast, scalable, simple to use and secure.
COTI CEO Shahaf Bar-Geffen commented:
“The unbanked population around the globe without access to traditional financial services numbers in the billions. We are pleased to partner with Blue Cellular in a joint effort of opening up more payment options for disadvantaged populations in the African continent.”
