Binance Lab backed Nigerian startup Xend, has developed Xend Finance built on Binance Smart Chain to offer decentralized finance (DeFi) based Credit Union, with the intent of giving a platform capable of yielding higher savings to Nigerians.
Aronu Ugochukwu, Xend founder and CEO stated the flaws of a local or traditional credit union thereby showing the necessity of this new developed package at this time.
In his words; “Traditional credit unions have a number of limiting drawbacks, including only 1% annual percentage yield returns and geographical limitations. A major problem faced by these credit unions or cooperatives is a constant devaluation of the currency, because most of the time, our economy is unstable”.
However, they have come up with an ideal solution to tackle these problems through Xend Finance, a DeFi based service built on blockchain backed by Binance Labs, Google Launchpad, AU21 Capital, TRG Capital, Matic co-founder Sandeep Nailwal and others.
