Professionals from Top Banks have joined Cashaa
Cashaa is creating a better bank, challenging legacy banking by building an app and products with input from our community of users. This ambitious mission required a greater understanding and vast experience of Banking and needed a strong team who can deliver it. We are now on the verge of closing our Token Sale (CAS) distribution. Due to our strict KYC policies and approach towards compliance we were able to set an example for the entire cryptocurrency industry. We have raised more than $33 Million, but rejected $14.7 Million to keep Cashaa’s foundation strong and clean.
Cashaa was able to prove to the world that we are more than just another company conducting a token sale. This is why people from top banks and technology companies like HSBC, Barclays, Bank Of America, JP Morgan Chase as well as from large Indian banks like ICICI and Axis, have started quitting their comfortable jobs and joining Cashaa.
In the last 3 months we have welcomed a number of 28 new key team members into the Cashaa family, which will grow further to 49 by the end of June.
