TelcoinFinancial inclusion for a mobile world.
www.telco.inTelcoin is a cryptocurrency accepted and distributed by mobile network operators.
Telcoin Pte Ltd is based in Singapore, with a diverse team operating out of Tokyo, Japan. The company’s eponymous cryptocurrency, Telcoin, is based on the popular Ethereum blockchain. It will be issued to national telecom operators and sold to subscribers, allowing it to be used by anyone - with or without a bank account.
Telcoin’s inception comes from the glaring disparity between access to financial services versus access to telecom services. According to the World Bank , only 1.2 billion people have access to a bank account with payment capabilities. On the other hand, GSMA data indicates that there are approximately 5 billion unique mobile phone subscribers - a figure that is growing steadily. By partnering with Telcoin, mobile operators will have the opportunity to open the floodgates of financial inclusion to unbanked and underbanked customers worldwide. Telcoin will be as easy to access and spend as existing mobile money, and it will be protected by a net of telecom security and compliance. The team envisions it as a complement to existing mobile money and, in the near future, a mainstream driver of cryptocurrency adoption at large.
The Telcoin team comes from a wide range of backgrounds, including telecommunications, IT security, anti-fraud, corporate marketing, mass media, and finance.
