Telcoin visiting Manila 🇵ðŸ‡
Our Telecom Business Development team, led by Paul Neuner, spent time in the Philippines capital last week. They met with telecoms to discuss new agreements. The Philippines has provided a positive and open environment for fintech solutions in the past - for both mobile money and cryptocurrency. This, combined with the country’s large remittance market, bodes well for Telcoin, and the meetings were extremely positive. We are now engaged in talks regarding next steps to allow Telcoin remittance directly to/from mobile money as well as Telcoin purchase from prepaid credit. We have also found great interest in the disaster relief use case, as the Philippines endures an average of nine typhoons annually.
As shared previously, Telecoms are sensitive regarding any news involving cryptocurrency, and all insist on non-disclosure agreements covering any POCs. We are focused on POC deployment with telecom operators at this point - not media approval. Rest assured, we will be sharing details about these partnerships with our community in due course.
