Company Description

BanQu seeks to provide financial inclusion for the un/underbanked of the world using blockchain technology

BanQu is the first ever blockchain Economic Identity technology that enables a secure and immutable platform for creating economic opportunities for people around the world living in extreme poverty. BanQu platform uses a proprietary method to create a mashup of selfie plus iris scan for people with no access to technology or banking. This Economic Identity then can be augmented by critical pieces of information such as land rights, voter registration, relationship based credit profiles and health records etc. While the uses cases are infinite, BanQu is focused on solutions in the areas of 1) refugee crisis, 2) food / medical / payroll distribution in conflict zones and 3) increasing revenue streams for social enterprises via diaspora capital participation.
