We’re taking over the financial system and using it for Good. Our first step is giving away Good Money shares to all new members. Now, you own the bank.

Good Money is a bank owned by the people in service of the planet, providing best-in-class mobile banking while empowering citizens to be part of a more equitable and transparent world.

According to the GoodMoney project team, the large-scale adoption of cryptocurrencies despite their many advantages is still limited. A few reasons they cited are: 1) Poor user interfaces, 2) Sub-par go to market strategies and 3. few teams that have experience building massive direct-to-consumer brands that scale. GoodMoney’s proposes to build a platform that will be known as “the first global alternative to fiat and fee-based banking.”

To address the 3 reasons for the limited adoption of cryptocurrency they are building:

Stable Coin and a multicoin Wallet.

The stable coin will be a 1–1 fiat to crypto which will have the following features: auditing, user friendly interface, peer-to-peer, will enable token holders to manage both their fiat and crypto cryptocurrencies in a single mobile app.

Exchange for fiat and crypto pairing without banking fees.

Token holders will be able to easily convert crypto to fiat and back. Alongside that, the GoodMoney project team expects that the “no banking fee” will entice the public to adopt their crypto solution.
Further, they are utilizing Smart Contracts, Blockchain 3.0, Stablecoin Protocol, and Stablecoin API.
