CMO
As of 2024, more than 10% of the world's workforce works online. This digital economy will continue to grow at double digits for the unforeseeable future. This digital work revolution contains the opportunity to give hundreds of millions throughout the global south their financial independence. It contains the opportunity to free people from their local constraints, giving individuals, their communities, and their countries control over their destinies.
In many emerging markets, the demand for US dollars is high, yet access remains limited. Cross-border payments from businesses to contractors or employees can take up to six days to process, with transaction fees averaging over 6%. Additionally, payments made in local currencies are susceptible to rapid devaluation due to inflation. Workers in these markets seek stable earning opportunities, while businesses in developed countries like the US aim to hire them.
At Airtm, we see a world where the global south thrives thanks to Digital Entrepreneurs and their ability to generate and capture value in the global digital economy. Our mission is to make it happen. Through our swift, comprehensive financial infrastructure solution, we facilitate low-value cross-border payments and local cashouts, connecting Digital Entrepreneurs with the enterprises and online marketplaces that need their talents.
Being pioneers in decentralized payment infrastructure, we understand that the future of payment companies lies beyond their payment capabilities. It lies in fostering an economy and giving it a new place to exist entirely.
