Providing access to the unbanked and underbanked - Jenco Tech

The most significant impact of decentralized finance is the inclusiveness it brings to the people by providing global access to the financial services that were once only available to the wealthier population. This innovative technology powered by FinTech can be used by anyone who has an internet connection and a smartphone. For example, a stockbroker at a top financial firm in the US or a farmer in a remote region in Asia will have the same access to financial services. Barriers such as wealth to invest and proximity to functioning economies, and lack of documentation would diminish.

No more intermediaries

The removal of intermediaries is one of the most significant advantages of DeFi. For example, the remittance fees will become much cheaper for the global population, especially those living overseas and may need to send money regularly. International transfers, such as Paypal, Xoom, Transferwise, and WorldRemit, are some of the apps that provide remittance services that are cheaper and faster.

“Utilizing DeFi is more beneficial since users do not have to follow centralized rules. Direct, peer-to-peer exchanges can occur, given that various values are agreed upon irrespective of the current offline values. Dealers or third-party mediators can also be utilized. However, transactional prices are significantly lower than when using traditional and offline institutions,” says Tony Jackson of Jenco, a decentralized service platform

This means that anyone can send money to anyone directly without going through banks or remittance centers, which usually lengthen the process. The same goes for investments; it cuts intermediaries, allowing traders and investors to invest directly without the need for third-party companies.

“DeFi uses electronic devices to interact and display bidding or asking prices in real-time. Hence, traders do not necessitate being in the same location to initiate transactions. Everything is done virtually, and digital markets are made secure by blockchain technology,” adds Jackson.
