Simplifing Global Payments Grineo Integrates Fiat and Digital Currencies
–News Direct–
Grineo, the FinTech start-up that aims to introduce digital currencies to the physical world, announced the launch of its highly-anticipated "debit card & wallet App" exclusively in Australia by early 2024. The app and card allow users to store and trade digital currencies as well as spending them like cash in stores or withdrawing as cash from ATMs, bringing much-needed adoption to the world of digital currencies.
The founders of Grineo first came up with the idea during a business meeting in Melbourne back in 2022, where they saw the immense potential of stablecoins as a store of value for investors.
They also realized that Australia significantly lagged its peers when it comes to the number of digital start-ups per person, the amount of investment in digital asset companies, and tech-skilled professionals. However, according to their estimations, if Australia manages to adapt blockchain and digital assets despite these issues, it will be able to save A$160 per person per year on international transaction fees and up to 80 hours per a small business on compliance and administrative costs.
Grineo officially launches in Q1 2024, becoming the catalyst for this much-needed change in the Australian market.
Grineo users can spend digital currencies with no extra exchange fees wherever major cards are accepted, with conversion taking place in real-time at point-of-sale. With thousands of users in the waitlist from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane, Grineo continues to expand its reach across the whole of Australia.
The Australian market size in terms of transaction revenue is considered very niche for a digital currency card provider accounting only for $17M of revenue annually, said Olesia Kostieieva, Grineo Chief Expansion Officer. Our philosophy is that payments in digital currency should be available for everyone everywhere.
With Grineo, consumers can unlock the power of digital currencies by opening a free account and gaining access to a physical card in just a few business days. They can also receive an immediate virtual card for instant use. All transactions take place on the Grineo platform, without any middleman processes slowing things down. Swapping assets are arranged easier or more affordable. The platform boasts a host of features, from customizable notifications to cutting-edge asset management tools. And behind the scenes, Grineo is revolutionizing the financial system by giving digital currencies the same level playing field as traditional currencies, including the Australian dollar. So, less limitations and more endless possibilities with the Grineo payment app.
It is an all-in-one application, Kostieieva said. Because Grineo stores your digital currency alongside your traditional currency, theres no need to go back and forth with your bank or top up via bank transfer and wait several days for it to settle.
But what sets Grineo apart is its commitment to transparency and low fees. With exclusive rates and automatic conversion at the best possible live rates, users could save a significant amount of money on overseas transactions. No-fee ATM withdrawals are also available. Plus, with Grineo's partnership with regulated card companies and banks, users can trust that their assets are secure and compliant.
According to Kostieieva, the use of stablecoins for purchasing goods and services may still pose some challenges. However, with the revolutionary Grineo platform, one can effortlessly utilize USDT in Sydney or seamlessly compensate others in Ethereum.
As Grineo prepared to enter the Australian market, they maintained a close relationship with regulators in Australia where they had already launched in the summer of 2023 their start-up regulated by AUSTRAC. This designation gave Grineo access to essential networks and systems, further solidifying their position as a potential leader in the digital currency space.
In addition, Grineo collaborates with regulated card companies and bank partners to offer a comprehensive range of traditional and digital currency payment services throughout its prime market in Australia. All while upholding the utmost standards for security and compliance.
Kostieieva shared that the high standards set by regulatory players only serve to inspire and motivate their team, as they feel a great responsibility to ensure the success of Grineo. With their sights set on revolutionizing the way we spend and exchange currency, Grineo is ready to make its mark on the FinTech world.
