Empowering Central Banks and the global gig economy
The Harvard/Stanford led team at UberFi has developed a global infrastructure applying state-of-the-art fintech technologies to provide financial services to the two billion unbanked. We partnered with BitMinutes as a cash token that can be used or transferred between the four (4) billion people who have to prepay their mobile phone time and internet access.
However, in a seminal white paper, the Gates Foundation outlined the need for a network of trusted agents as the human interface necessary to accept and disburse cash for electronic cash tokens like BitMinutes. To meet this exact cash in/out need, our team created the Trusted Agent Network or TAN which, as a welcome beneficial by-product, creates financial services jobs in the developing world by turning the corner retailer into the corner banker.
UberFi provides Central Banks with a turn-key solution to issue a Stablecoin or digital version of a country’s fiat currency. These digital currencies are immediately interoperable with BitMinutes, and we collaborate with third-party providers to deliver retail CBDC distribution through our global Trusted Agent Network. No one else in the world has this solution ready today.

A complete, integrated stack from Central Bank issuance to consumer wallet.
UberFi’s custom Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) platform is built to be the virtual representation of a nation’s fiat currency. It provides a unit of account tied on a 1:1 basis to the official currency, regulated by the respective monetary authority, and supports retail, wholesale, and cross-border applications.
Liquidity pool technology using smart contracts on a decentralized basis ensures transparency and fairness. Our BonDeFi.io protocol issues digitized bond offerings using proprietary interest-bearing stablecoin tokens, raising Central Bank reserves and providing up to 10% APY for depositors.
The TAN retailer Point-of-Sale software solves the “last mile” problem identified by the World Bank and Gates Foundation. Live in Kenya, Nigeria, and Guatemala, TAN turns corner retailers into corner bankers — delivering cash-in and cash-out services to the unbanked at scale.
