LEAF FOR REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS
As families are forced to flee persecution around the world, they have little time to grab limited cash and valuables before leaving their homes. During the long and dangerous journey, refugees face peril at every step. Violence, theft, and natural disasters claim family fortunes and diminish hope. Outside of forfeiting value, carrying cash is often the only option. On top of being inconvenient and expensive to exchange across borders, this exposes families to additional risk.
THE UNBANKED
Leaf isn’t just for people crossing borders with cash. Nearly two billion people around the world do not have access to formal financial services.
Leaf can help, whether they are physically traveling or staying safe at home. By using Leaf as a safe place to keep their money, send and receive with friends and family, and pay digitally, unbanked users can start to form an economic identity and experience the benefits of digital financial services.
HOW LEAF USES BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
Leaf is developing a mobile application platform to facilitate cash to virtual currency conversion through blockchain technology. Blockchain technology with its distributed ledger, decentralized administration, and secure cryptography presents an opportunity to provide affordable financial services to people crossing through multiple countries.
