Over the course of history nothing has done more to spread peace, prosperity and progress than trade. The same can be said of the Hamsa. Believed to provide protection, luck, and a warm welcome to its holder, the Hamsa amulet has been carried by traders from all continents for centuries. In the hands of these brave souls, its enlightened perspective has reached around the globe, spreading peace and prosperity. At HamsaPay, we seek to carry on this mission to unite the world through enlightened trade.
Today’s global trade faces a new challenge: a $1.7 trillion financing gap that is paralyzing the world’s supply chains. Without financing, the SMEs of APAC and LATAM that power the global economy are unable to respond to the demand of their global buyers, or to invest in their futures. With no common ledger for bills of exchange, no common risk assessment protocols, and no common marketplace for financiers to provide funding, the world’s small businesses have been left out in cold.
With over $40T in receivables in circulation on any given day, there exists enough value to solve the SME financing gap 30 times over. By unlocking this value, we can unleash the potential of the world’s SMEs to power the economy and to own their own futures.
That’s exactly what HamsaPay has set out to do. Led by a renowned Silicon Valley Webby-winning entrepreneur and supported by the technology leader behind AliExpress and AMEX China, HamsaPay is reinventing global trade finance. By combining the best of the existing financial system with blockchain technology we’re democratizing access to trade finance and empowering the world’s SMEs.
With offices in San Francisco, Shanghai and Sao Paulo, we are building a global community of like-minded developers. We invite you to join our team to help unite the world through enlightened trade.
