"Our partnership with HoneyCoin allows us to continue our joint vision to make digital tokens not only accessible but also financially inclusive.” Seyi Akin-Olugbemi (CEO - MYKOBO)
We couldn’t agree more with Seyi, at HoneyCoin financial inclusion and accessibility are at the core of our mission as a company and we’re thrilled to be working together to solve for this meaningful and pressing problem.
Along the same lines, David Nandwa, CEO/CTO & Founder of HoneyCoin stated,
"We're thrilled to be partnering with MYKOBO for our launch into Europe. Both teams share the same values in eliminating the borders and limitations that inhibit connectivity and accessibility whilst still paying close attention to regulatory compliance and security. At a time where the world is seeing a global shift in payments & technology with stablecoins hitting an inflection point in real-world usage and the embedding of AI & machine learning into consumer products, HoneyCoin is at the very forefront o this digital transformation that’s currently happening and we believe that MYKOBO is as well.”
The Changing Landscape of Remittances
Europe has historically been a significant contributor to remittances into Africa and the US. Recent data highlights that remittances between these regions account for billions of euros annually, providing essential financial support for countless families and communities. However, these transactions often come at a high cost, with fees consuming a significant portion of the funds being sent.
According to the World Bank, remittances to low and middle-income countries reached $540 billion in 2020, with Europe being one of the significant contributors. Europe's remittance flows to Sub-Saharan Africa alone were estimated at over $40 billion in the same year.
However, the true concern lies in the cost of sending these remittances. The global average cost for sending $200 was around 6.5% in 2020, with Sub-Saharan Africa experiencing even higher costs at approximately 8.5%. These percentages might seem small, but when translated to actual euros, they represent billions that could have otherwise supported families and communities in the receiving countries
This partnership is poised to be a game changer in the realm of digital wallets and remittances. By leveraging blockchain's inherent security and the user-centric designs of both HoneyCoin and MYKOBO, users can expect drastically reduced fees, faster transaction times, and an overall improved experience.
“Through this partnership we’re combining our expertise in building consumer-facing products with the infrastructural superiority that MYKOBO has in the digital asset issuance space to innovate, disrupt and improve the experience that consumers and business have.” David Nandwa CEO/CTO @ HoneyCoin
By addressing the inefficiencies and costs associated with traditional remittance methods, HoneyCoin and MYKOBO are redefining how we think about cross-border transactions in today's digital age.
