in #cryptocurrency8 years ago (edited)

Too good to be true?

When I was growing up, my mother’s favorite saying was: ‘if something is too good to be true, then it probably is. With regards to Nexo, I would modify this to-- If something is too good to be true, maybe it’s just good enough to be true.

Meet Nexo

Nexo is the first instant crypto overdraft. Yes, you heard that right. It is a never before heard of innovative approach to lending in the cryptocurrency world. Clients do not need to sell their cryptocurrencies for immediate cash they need on the go when they can get an instant overdraft through Nexo and save their cryptocurrencies as the value of coins continue to change.

Long before this, with the controversy and uncertainty trailing cryptocurrency, they had never been a convenient way for cryptocurrency miners, investors, gamers and virtual reality users, cryptocurrency exchanges, hedge funds and ICO and crypto companies to leverage on the value of their coins without selling them. Now, rather than selling off their valuable crypto assets, they can withdraw an overdraft from Nexo instead without cumbersome exchange fees or credit checks.

It does sound too good to be true.

Not when you learn that Nexo is backed by Credissmo, a top FinTech group. With more than a hundred and thirty employees and a staggering millions loan applications under her belt, Credissmo was founded in 2007 and with her best practices caught the eyes and approval of the financial regulatory community and recognition from top companies all over the globe.

Illustration
Let’s assume a customer, Sarah has two bitcoins in her cryptocurrency wallet and she needs instant fiat currency to pay her bills. Usually, the only option available to Sarah would be to sell her immensely valuable crypto assets. With the highly volatile cryptocurrency market, Sarah is well aware of the risk of selling off too soon, but she has no choice.

Here enters Nexo.

Rather than lose ownership of her considerable cryptocurrency assets by selling, Sarah can transfer her two bitcoins to the Nexo instant overdraft wallet. Upon reception, the Nexo Oracle then sets up the overdraft.
The instant overdraft could be in Euros or USD. This is then sent to either her Nexo Credit Card or through bank transfer to her bank account.
The overdraft limit made available to Sarah is directly proportional to the crytocurrency assets owned by Sarah and transferred to the overdraft wallet.
Sarah can make repayments on the overdraft at her leisure in different ways-- through fiat currency, cryptocurrency or Nexo Token. The repayment through Nexo Token offers more flexibility to the customer because of the discounted interest rates.
To make repayment options even easier for customers, Nexo also allows customers to make repayment by selling off some portion of their cryptocurrency assets in the overdraft wallet if they so choose. Unlike most loan repayments, Nexo do not exert compulsory monthly payments from their customers on the condition that their withdrawal never exceeds the overdraft limit.
Sarah can then withdraw her cryptocurrency from the overdraft wallet.
