Kontigo

TL;DR; We're connecting all Latinos across the U.S. and Latin America through a single banking app that is global, instant, and stable. The real problem: The fundamental problem behind high fees, underbanked users, and failed currencies, both in Latam and the US, is precisely the same: the lack of a stable currency with global access and minimum government interference. The consequence of the problem: - The U.S. is home to 65 million Latinos, representing the fastest-growing population in the country; despite this, 35% of them are underbanked. - Each year, Latinos in the U.S. send over $170 billion to Latin America, often incurring fees as high as 20%. - Once the money reaches Latam, recipients may incur additional fees of up to 10% to convert and cash out. - In contrast, Latin America has a population of 700 million, with 20% of households relying on remittances for income and 75% of the population being underbanked. - Latin America's financial fragmentation worsens the problem, with 33 countries using 39 different currencies. Over time, all of these currencies have failed due to devaluation, inflation, and poor monetary policies.
