About OuroX
We’re building bitcoin-native capital market infrastructure for a more open and inclusive financial system.
Why?
Imagine a region where a simple wire can be a daunting task taking up to two weeks at high costs; where there is limited access to basic banking services (e.g. insight into transactions, credit card statements). Where you can forget being able to purchase anything online. With businesses having limited access to funding or only at a 12-19% interest rate. A region without a modern digital exchange for buying, selling and trading of securities, derivatives or even forex and commodities. And don’t get us started on remittances!
Sound preposterous? Millions of people in underdeveloped nations face hurdles like this every day. Did you know over 400 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean are currently unbanked. Yet 67% of them have mobile phones?
This failure to keep up with technological advances in the financial services industry is impeding regional economic growth and competitiveness in Latin America and the Caribbean. Costing more time and funds for even basic financial transactions, compared to North America, Europe and Asia. This led CEO Maya Parbhoe to pursue the creation of this company.
We have a vision of changing the way people interact financially in Latin America and the Caribbean, with eyes on a global future.
OuroX aims to improve the way people interact financially by realizing our long term vision: It starts with providing liquidity to the region by trading on the OuroX exchange. Followed by OuroPay, our blockchain enabled payment processor for fast, secure and low-cost payments online and mobile. And, to complete the vision is Fuente, a top-flight, online marketplace supported by next-generation logistics applications. The goal is to expand throughout the region, by either establishing a local subsidiary or partnering with a local entity, in compliance with local rules and regulations. By using the latest technology (eg. blockchain and mobile applications) and maintaining high standards for listings, dissemination of information and regulatory compliance we can establish transparency, trust and efficiency in these markets.
As you can see, everywhere we add value to the financial ecosystem with our products, allowing us to provide a lifeline into the future to hundreds of millions of people.
