    Xend Finance launches as it raises $1.5m strategic investment

    By Staff Writer on November 9, 2020 Funding

    Xend Finance, a Nigerian-based decentralized finance (DeFi) platform for credit unions and cooperatives, has announced their public launch following a $1.5 million strategic investment round.

    Companies involved in the funding round include Binance Labs, Google Developers Launchpad, AU21 Capital, Ampifi VC, JUN Capital, TRG Capital, and Sandeep Nailwal (Matic Co-founder), amongst others

    Xend Finance gives everyone access to the global money market so members can save and invest in stable currencies. The Xend Finance platform also allows users to create their own credit unions and cooperatives, eliminating traditional middle men, while earning up to 15% annual percentage yield on their savings.

    It is one of the first companies to build on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and the first company out of Africa

    According to Aronu Ugochukwu, CEO of Xend Finance, “Traditional credit unions have a number of limiting drawbacks, including only 1% annual percentage yield returns. Unlike credit unions, Xend Finance is not limited by geographic location, low liquidity, or absence of deposit insurance. Our groundbreaking technology fixes these problems and is safe, secure, open to all, and transparent”

    User savings can be converted to stable currencies and staked — the process of actively participating in transaction validations on blockchains — on Lending platforms so members can earn compound interest on their money. A Xend token will also be introduced to further ensure a decentralized governance on the Xend Finance platform, while also incentivizing members even more on their savings. Xend Finance will be one of the first companies to build on Binance Smart Chain and the first out of Africa.

    “Along with Google, we were very impressed with the team at Xend Finance,” said Kenzi Wang, Partner at AU21. “They’ve already built a network of 55,000 users and are tackling a trillion dollar industry that is perfectly suited for DeFi disruption. The Xend Finance product protects people’s savings in developing countries by giving them access to stable currencies on the global money market.”
