Published

on

Q: What can you tell us about your company?

Everex is a Singapore registered financial technology company, with head office in Bangkok, Thailand, that provides Ethereum blockchain-powered solutions for cross-border money transfers, direct payments and fiat to digital asset swaps using stablecoins. Although there are different types of stablecoins, we are only focusing on fiat pegged digital currencies that represent units of national currencies, such as USD or EUR that are powered by smart contract and exist in Ethereum blockchain token format. Everex was a second company in the world after Tether (USDT) to introduce a second fiat pegged stable coin THBEX in 2016, representing Thai Baht.

Using stablecoins in financial services allows to achieve much faster settlement times, usually in a few seconds, with very low transaction cost regardless of the transferred amounts. We implement Ethereum blockchain technology as a new rails for faster and cheaper money transfers to challenge existing legacy payment systems and also to address growing global financial inclusion problem.

Q: What types of services offer?

Everex has applications for ensuring cross-border money transfers for migrant workers sending money to their families, and SMEs looking for a cheaper way to pay domestic and international suppliers.

As Asia is one of the main target markets for Everex, currency exchange for EU and US travelers and expats living in Asia is an important service the company seeks to develop as a highly attractive alternative to traditional exchange services. Users will be able to save on FX and withdrawal fees, as well as gain access to cryptocurrency markets.

With Everex, users will not only be able to save on exchange and withdrawal fees but also gain access to digital asset markets through the Everex platform. This will open up a whole new level of opportunities in the application of digital assets made available for payment and investment.

Q: Are you targeting the consumer or business market? How does the business model work?

Q: What can you tell us about what you have in the pipeline?

We have built a strong foundation so far in the Asia Pacific region and will soon be launching our international remittance service i.e. within South East Asia for both individual and SMEs. This initiative by Everex has received great support by a number of partnership banks including the one with Myanmar’s Shwe Bank and the more recent one with Krung Thai Bank. These partnerships will help close the remittance corridor between the two countries. Furthermore, we plan on expanding our offices in the US and obtaining an MSB license to enable access to the US markets. In fact, after the launch in January, we have already started onboarding users in New Jersey and plan to move further into Tennessee, California, New York, Washington, Florida, Pennsylvania by the end of 2019.
