Polybius is going to Brussels!The first month of the new year is coming to an end, so it's time to share new results of our work and the long-awaited January news - Polybius opens an office in the city of chocolate and international conventions, Brussels.
The choice in favor of Belgium and in particular Brussels was made because of the close proximity to the headquarters of the main institutions of the European Union, and also because of the incredibly attractive dynamics of the Benelux banking market for our project. The successful work of Polybius as a financial institution directly depends on European directives and regulations, in particular PSD2 and eIDAS . Their development is in full swing and will continue through 2018, which is why there can be no better place for the office than at the very epicenter of the new regulations.
Choosing a place to open an office, we started buying all domains in the zones in which we will work, and in whose languages we will offer services.
Having determined the jurisdiction, we also accelerate the expansion of the team of our specialists. In January, the team was joined by Head of Platform and Innovation , who, like no other, understands how to build a modern digital business. The decision to join Polybius was taken after acquaintance with our business model and ambitions. At the moment, he is working on a Belgian global corporation, where he deals with the digitalization of processes. The transition of one of the key elements of the company is a slow process, but we expect that it will take no more than three months. We make every effort to minimize this period as much as possible.
The selection of people in the Polybius team is one of our main priorities. At the moment, we continue to search for three more members of the team - the STO , Head of Legal & Regulatory and Head of Communications - and we are developing DigitalPass and working with partners who will audit the financial statements for 2017, which includes ICO fees.
We until the last expected that we would announce the name of the CEO in mid-January, but there were working and legal moments on the side of Credit Suisse, which will take about a month to resolve. Fortunately, this will not affect the development of the project in any way - lawyers, developers and HR agencies are already engaged in their work, and we are planning to announce the long-awaited name of the CEO by February 20 . In addition to the announcement of the CEO's title, by the end of February we are going to finalize the preparation of MVP DigitalPass, for which we are already developing a frontend and private blockade. In the next months, we will pass a closed test, after which we will begin integrating DigitalPass into our services. Unfortunately, due to the need to patent all the technologies we create, we can not yet disclose the technical details of the development.
