Should BABB receive an appropriate banking license, it aims to provide access to a bank account for the unbanked and underbanked across the world with global economic connectivity built-in.

* Mobile App – customers will be able to open an account in a few seconds via the app, connecting instantly with other customers to make payments, raise funds and exchange currencies.

* BlackCard – The BlackCard will be a decentralised payment card independent of Visa and MasterCard. It links to the BABB app via QR code or NFC tag.
