[proposal] near on/off ramp solution worldwide

GM Fam :grinning:

I wish you all a great week!

I want to introduce our project to the NEAR community.

https://rampme.mx/

Value Proposition

  1. Improve ecosystem support by adding ON/OFF RAMP SOLUTION for more than 135 countries
  2. Improve ecosystem support by adding Payout service (pay more than 130 Services with NEAR token)
  3. Marketing and PR services to boost NEAR community, social media and conversion in terms of new users for the period of 6 weeks.
    (With the possibility of renewing the services if needed).
  • What is the purpose?

Bring financial and web freedom to the world. We can use NEAR token to process payments, send remittance and pay utilities directly from the webApp

  • What is RampMe

As of 2020 less than 48% of Mexico and Latin America population is banked, that is the main reason and the Why! We decided to create RampMe.

We believe that financial access and control is a fundamental right.

Due to the bureaucratic and tedious process of the current financial institutions a financial market, with possibilities to saving, credits and loans is not open to all sectors of society .

Ramp Me, integrates different payment services and financial solutions in one single app, this give us the power to reach even the most isolated populations.

It allows any person without the need to visit a physical branch, to create a bank account number, send remittance and pay more than 130 services (including utilities, taxes and gift cards) in a simple, fast and reliable way, all that in less than 5 minutes and directly form our app.

On the legal side we have manage to acquire License in Europe, Mexico and LatAm that allows us to make the whole process seamlessly.

Our mission is to bring financial opportunities and freedom to the whole population of Latin America, empowering the emerging markets and allowing the population to be in total control of their finances and expenses, while having a friendly and smooth experience.
