I was crazy enough to start this company 3 years ago in July of 2020 during the height of COVID. Deeply frustrated by the financial experiences built and being offered to Africans and other people all over the world, HoneyCoin was my stake in the ring. It’s been a wild and incredibly fulfilling journey so far. And today is yet another milestone in our book.
We’ve processed millions of dollars since we launched, onboarded and are currently serving hundreds of thousands of customers who all trust us with their hard-earned money and for that we’re deeply grateful.Today, I couldn’t be more excited to announce an evolution of our consumer business by introducing you to, Peer.
Peer is a financial super app built with the retail customer in mind. We like to call it “the everything app” for users “anywhere in the world.” It’s the evolution of our consumer platform over many iterations and long hours of development and design, we’re launching with a couple of really cool features that I’d love to tell you about today, so let’s dive in:
Bank Accounts 🏦
Starting today, customers in Kenya and soon Nigeria & the US will be able to turn their wallets into real bank accounts. This means that you can now make payments like SWIFT, RTGS, Pesalink, and M-Pesa directly on the platform and at lower fees than “that banking app”. We’ve received the necessary approvals and gone through stringent due-diligence to be able to roll this out and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
Flights ✈️
This is my favourite, starting today you can book a flight for your honeymoon, for the trip that’s never left the group chat, or even to visit your loved ones in domestic locations like Kisumu & Mombasa directly on Peer. This feature is rolling out to the over 150+ countries that we’re live in immediately. Lagos to London, San Francisco to Dubai, Nairobi to Cape Town. All on the app and with multiple payment options available.
Insurance 🔒
Need to insure your car? Just bought an iPhone 15 and you’re clumsy? Well now you can purchase car, travel, life, health, and even gadget insurance directly on the app with leading Insurance providers like Jubilee, Madison, AXA and more.
Direct US to Kenya Remittances 🇺🇸
We’ve partnered with licensed remittance companies to bring you direct remittances into Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, & Tanzania. We’re inches close to receive the necessary approvals in local markets so this is coming to Peer approximately days after launch.
Drops 🔥
We are known for the company that brought you Octopizzo’s Fractional NFT Drop, or our Kicks Kenya Partnership that was extremely successful. But now, we’re turning this into a feature with a constant release schedule and with the most vibrant of brands- over the coming weeks we’ll be gradually rolling out exclusive drops with leading Spotify stores globally, so stay tuned.
MoneyGram ❤️
Our partnership with MoneyGram means users in over 150+ countries can deposit and withdraw digital dollars for cash, making money borderless, equitable, and accessible for our hundreds of thousands of users and soon, billions of users globally.
And yet, this is only a handful of all the amazing things you can do on Peer and we’re thrilled to bring this to all of you today. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and give this a try and don’t forget to let me know what you think. 😉
