PART 1, INTRODUCTION AND COMMUNITY QUESTIONS

Mary | Satoshi Club: Hello, Satoshi club! We are happy to announce that our guests today are from Cashaa.

Janina Lowisz: Hello everyone! great to be here. ☺️

Mary | Satoshi Club: Welcome to Satoshi Club 😀 @BlockchainGirl. How are you today?

Janina Lowisz: Thanks everyone for joining! I’m very well thanks.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Can you introduce yourself and how did you start with Cashaa?

Janina Lowisz: My name is Janina Lowisz, I am co-founder and VP Corporate Services of Cashaa. I joined when Cashaa started, in 2016, and overall I have been in the crypto space since 2013. I will help you get banked, open a company, get a license, and get any of our other products and services.

Q1 from Telegram Username @stekbyte

The website says that services is only available for the companies registered in the UK and Europe. Are you planning to expand your service area?

Janina Lowisz: First of all, Cashaa is a neobank that includes the following live services so far:

UK Current account, EUR IBAN account, US Current account, Online payment processing, Debit and Prepaid Card issuance, FX and crypto liquidity.

Our main offer is the UK current account, EUR IBAN account, and US current account – these 3 accounts are available for businesses worldwide, except for sanctioned countries, whereas our online payment processing and the debit and prepaid card issuance is only available for companies registered in the UK and EEA. if you don’t have a business from this area, we can register it for you, e.g. in the UK, Estonia, Malta, Cyprus or Gibraltar.

Mary | Satoshi Club: It includes only Europe Union countries? EUR IBAN? For example, I live in Europe, but we are not EU.

Janina Lowisz: EUR IBAN accounts are also available for businesses worldwide, except for sanctioned countries, so if you live in a non-EU country or your business is from a non-EU country, you can apply for this account as well.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: This is a very important package of banking services. and it can be very interesting.

Janina Lowisz: Thanks! yes, we are solving one the biggest problems of the crypto space, the lack of crypto-friendly banking services.

Mary | Satoshi Club: What advantages my business will get from this account?

Janina Lowisz: Our accounts include all the features that you would get from a traditional bank account – without getting judged based on the industry you’re in. traditional banks and other challenger banks would decline your application if you are involved in crypto. That is the reason we exist, to provide a crypto-friendly alternative. with our accounts, you get all you need to smoothly run your business. Here is more information on each account:

EUR account: https://cashaa.com/euro-current-account

USD: https://cashaa.com/usd-current-account

GBP: https://cashaa.com/UK-current-account

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: It is a very necessary solution for today to combine crypto and banking system.

Janina Lowisz: Yes, that is another advantage – having come from the crypto space ourselves, we understand the pain points and have built Cashaa with that in mind, what a crypto business needs, and combining traditional banking with crypto. As you mentioned international expansion earlier, another point:

In 2021, we want to expand in the US and India. We already started issuing USD accounts regulated by the Banking Division of Colorado, to our existing business clients as beta users. Crypto brands who already started to use our USD accounts are Nexo, CoinDCX, Unocoin etc. Concerning India, we are already the largest liquidity provider and providing offshore banking to most of the major crypto exchanges. We are now planning to launch a neobank to start crypto-friendly banking in India regulated under the Reserve Bank of India.

So, while we are alredy available worldwide, we are ongoing working on adding more products and services to become even better. ☺️

Mary | Satoshi Club: India, it’s great, but what about rumors that India wants to ban crypto? Or it’s just speculations?

Janina Lowisz: Speculations have kept coming and going for a long time, and in earlier years it was the same with other countries, so the current situation is nothing new. eventually, nearly every country in the world over time has become positive and constructive, and doesn’t ban it.

Q2 from Telegram Username @Jonahapagu

I see that your Your Regulatory approval for Integrated Banking Platform is being delayed and the launch of Cashaa Banking Platform (India) is being Moved to 2021…what are the issues that lead to the delay of this regulatory approval and also the postponement of cashaa Banking platform (India) to 2021?

Janina Lowisz: There are actually no issues, it is more a normal process that such things can take longer than expected. we do actually have a few milestones upcoming earlier: we so far used regulated partners that were issuing the accounts, e.g. FCA-regulated partner EMIs in the UK. We have been able to move ahead so now in October, we have new accounts coming up for GBP and EUR, new USD accounts in November, and personal accounts afterwards.

Mary | Satoshi Club: How long does it take to get a license? On average.

Janina Lowisz: This can vary, it can take a year for example, in our case, we didn’t want to wait but we as early as possible launch the business accounts. So we used partners and were already able to launch with them more than a year ago, starting with GBP accounts, then earlier this year, we added EUR accounts, and most lately, USD.

In this way, we are already helping many businesses get banked, and only need to move them to new accounts later. In this way, we already have around 2000 business signups and hundreds already using our services, be it a business account or one of the other services. In the last 11 months, we had hundreds of crypto brands using us to run their banking operations, while serving more than 250,000 individuals worldwide through 200 corporate customers.

Q6 from BTT username Nyosant

In these days of DeFi and ERC-20 frenzy, it is strange to see a project moving away from the ETH network. What were the reasons for that full swap from the ETH chain to the Binance chain?

Janina Lowisz: Last year we had moved to Binance chain due to its speed and low fees. Binance back then also had more businesses moving to it for the same reasons, and seemed overall more business-friendly, aiming to create a startup community around itself. Which was another reason, personally, I until now see businesses moving away from ETH to other chains that are more scalable, Binance chain but also others.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Understand so, that was full swap, you didn’t leave any tokens on Ethereum network?

Janina Lowisz: Anyone who still has old tokens can contact us to get the swap instructions.
