Madeleine Winkler/AFRICUNIA BANK: We have sealed several Partnerships in the past 5 years for example: Sparco Bank, Wema Bank, New Dawn Humanitarian Foundation, DAO Foundation, PEMA Innotech Switzerland, EXCOINCIAL, twilio, Mastercard, Zero#, Founder Institute, Bitcasino.io, Sportsbet.io, Muganbank, Jointium, SOSUIBEN Foundation, Multislog, Isendom, Evolve, Visa, Glade and many more…

Our upcoming partnerships we would like to have a partnership with Interswitch Nigeria, and some Central Banks all over Africa.

Asia community: Q2. Do you have any plan for burrning tokens in the future to reduce the supply of the token and increase its investment attractiveness?

Madeleine Winkler/AFRICUNIA BANK: Yes, that’s also stated in our Whitepaper…

Asia community: Q3. Revenue is an important aspect for all projects to survive and sustain. So how does your project plan to generate profit and revenue?

Madeleine Winkler/AFRICUNIA BANK: Through the transaction fees, Debit card, and credit card issuance but also through buying airtime or data on AFRICUNIA BANK platforms and other services we are providing to our customers. As well as engaging in trade and investment.

Asia community: Q4. Most users only care about immediate benefits rather than the real value of the project in the long-term. How can Your Project convince users invest to your platform in the long-term?

Madeleine Winkler/AFRICUNIA BANK: We are very much aware of this desire of investors to earn short return on their investment and because of that we made conscious decision to devalue/undervalue the real price of AFCASH from over $2.00USD to $0.25 USD in order to attract new buyers and enable them sell higher price immediately after IEO.

Asia community: Q5. Is AFRICUNIA only for elite investors, how about others with small funds, is it open to everyone?

Madeleine Winkler/AFRICUNIA BANK: Absolutely not. Our project is for all and sundry and borderless. In fact, if anything our project is aimed towards benefiting the poor, the less privileged and the unbanked even more. In order to accommodate everyone we have equally lowered our minimum buy to $10.00 worth of AFCASH unlike many other IEO projects.

Any investor who takes time to study our Whitepaper and evaluate everything we have built so far will no doubt be convinced to get involved in AFRICUNIA BANK.

Asia community: Before you leave any last word for community?

Madeleine Winkler/AFRICUNIA BANK: I will like to close the wonderful session by saying thank you very much to the organisers for this exciting opportunity to present our products before your awesome community. We do not take it lightly especially in view of the fact that we didn’t have to pay for it. Thank you!!! And to the community we say a very big thank you to you for coming here. You are amazing and we appreciate you. Sorry if we didn’t get to answer your questions. It was overwhelming. Please join us in our Telegram community, and Twitter, post your questions there and we will be happy to address them one after the other. At this juncture, let me conclude with this closing remark. The past 5 years have been an insightful journey for us all, as it has provided us with the necessary knowledge, interactions and resolution to help demystify the concept of Fintech. If there is one thing that has become clear from the discussions and questions of today, it is this: it is important for us to be on the same page if we are to embrace the opportunities and efficiently mitigate the risks that technological advances bring to the financial sector and indeed, the economy as a whole. We as AFRICUNIA BANK are now better equipped with much-needed information for the work to begin on drawing up our Fintech Strategy; one that clearly outlines what can and what needs to be done, by whom, and in what timeframe. The challenge that we now face — and it is not an unsurmountable one — is to educate and empower our local populations around the world, so that they embrace the move towards more digitalisation with less suspicion, and eventually see the benefits that AFRICUNIA BANK can bring to their daily lives. To this end I say have a very good evening
