Every year, millions of people send money across borders to support their families, often losing significant portions to fees and waiting days for transfers to complete. Gnosis Pay is transforming this reality by combining the efficiency of blockchain technology with the convenience of traditional payment systems.
Reimagining International Transfers
The current remittance system poses significant challenges: high fees, long processing times, and limited accessibility. Gnosis Pay addresses these pain points by leveraging blockchain technology while maintaining the familiar experience of using a Visa card. This means workers can send money home instantly, with minimal fees, while recipients can access funds immediately through their Gnosis Pay card.
True Financial Inclusion
At its core, Gnosis Pay is a self-custody wallet integrated with Visa payment rails. This unique combination means users maintain complete control over their funds while enjoying worldwide acceptance. Backed by Safe, pioneers in self-custody multi-signature wallets, the system ensures security without sacrificing convenience.
Beyond Traditional Banking
Traditional remittance services often require both sender and receiver to have bank accounts, creating barriers for the unbanked. Gnosis Pay bypasses these limitations by allowing users to become their own bank. With reduced transaction costs, faster settlement times, and an always-on network, it delivers on blockchain technology's original promise of peer-to-peer electronic cash.
