Twitter co-founder leads $6M investmentJack Dorsey has led a $6 million funding round for Azteco, a provider of Bitcoin (BTC) vouchers. This is highlighting the Twitter co-founder and Block CEO’s continued commitment to building more and more advancements in the cryptocurrency landscape.
Azteco, established in 2014, says it uncovered a significant disparity in global banking access. There are over 2 billion smartphone users lacking regular financial services.
Blockworks online pubcalition mentioned the fact that in order to address this, Azteco says it devised a practical solution by harnessing the potential of Bitcoin as a cost-effective and secure alternative.
Via this technology, the company says it enables the unbanked population to “store value, engage in transactions and access credit without requiring a traditional bank account.”
Azteco likes to refer to its vendor sites as “ATM-less ATMs.”
The same online pubcalition mentioned above notes this: “The company claims to make buying bitcoin as easy as purchasing mobile phone credits. Here’s how it works: You can visit an Azteco outlet with cash or a credit card. At the outlet, you can buy an Azteco voucher. You then go to their website and redeem your voucher.”
Dorsey stated this:
“The unbanked population is immense. We have the technology and resources to close this gap, but until now, no one has taken that important next step,” Dorsey said in a statement on May 18.”
“Azteco is providing so much more than just access to a secure financial system; it is building an ecosystem of financial self-determination that is secure and supported by local communities. I am honored to support them,” he continued.
