PLATIO A SMART BANKING PLATFORM BASED ON CRYPTOCURRENCY AND EOS TECHNOLOGY
The advent of cryptocurrency has drastically changed the face of the world and brought about so many possibilities. However, the ability to purchase goods and services using cryptocurrency has been limited due to the absence of established links between the crypto world and the traditional financial system. This leads to poor public perception and understanding of the potential benefits of digital asset usage. Most traditional banks can be very selective in the services they provide for crypto users within their current banking systems, and many of them have not adopted the digital method of currency exchange. The platform believes that mainstream users will embrace this new digital currency technology only after links between the cryptocurrency and traditional banking worlds are established.
PLATIO is the all-in-one smart banking platform for encrypted assets, fiat and stocks. The system is focused on making cryptocurrency a widespread means of payment by increasing its utility. The system is backed by EOS’s blockchain technology, which helps in providing users with a secure and convenient way to manage transactions between traditional and digital finance. The Ecosystem will be based on a seamlessly operated mobile App and web interface, where individuals using the system will have at their disposal all the necessary data and tools to carry out transactions with crypto, fiat and stock.The system will bring about the growth of global markets in digital assets.The platform will offer the following seven essential products to users;
While most traditional banks will not accept cryptocurrency and may even deny accounts to users, Platio will provide banking services to the crypto community and eventually become a widely accepted means of payment. Moreover, most crypto payments are irreversible, and may lead to loss for those who their counterparties refuse to honor their end of a deal. However, Platio holds funds in escrow, and will only release them when a deal has been completed to the satisfaction of both parties. The loss of private keys in most cryptocurrency platforms leads to loss of assets, but Platio transfers assets to a previously selected crypto wallet or fiat account, once an individual’s account is inactive in the platform. Furthermore, most platforms requires multiple logins to access crypto wallets, banking and brokerage accounts, but Platio requires just a single login to access crypto wallets, fiats and stocks. Crypto market sometimes can be quite volatile, and therefore exposes stake holders to risk, but Platio will protect customers from market movements by automatically transferring funds between assets types if pre-specified conditions are triggered. Business owners do not accept cryptocurrency as a payment option due to the complexities associated with it. Platio will make the accepting and storing of cryptocurrency easier to understand so that crypto payments will be accepted with confidence. The platform will dynamically improve to help ensure an optimum service in the transaction of cryptocurrency for both individuals and business owners alike.
SEVEN FEATURES LEVERAGED BY THE PLATFORM
Asset guard
This product is for the protection of all types of user’ assets stored in the Ecosystem against losses caused by the high market volatility or access loss to the account. It is made up of two types of smart contract, which are Auto Exchange and Standby transfer. Once the preset conditions are met in the contract, the process launches immediately. Moreover, the use of this product reduces the need to constantly monitor the market. The Auto Exchange can automatically make an exchange of a user’s cryptocurrency or stocks to fiat, once relative prices hit a specified level, and vice-versa. It also ensures that losses are capped and allows for purchases at a desired price. While the Standby Transfer allows each user to specify an inactivity period for their account, which if reached will trigger a transfer to a previously selected account either a Platio wallet or an external bank account of the user or a trustee.
Platio Payment Cards
This product will provide users with plastic and virtual payment cards issued by partnered international payment companies. The payment cards will support top-up from tokenized assets in the user’s wallet, both in cryptocurrency and fiat, and after the top-up the user can be able to make payments at any merchant that accepts relevant payment cards. Moreover, Platio will allow all assets held on the Ecosystem to be easily converted into fiat currencies for transaction settlement using an integrated exchange.
Internal Transfers
Most transaction platforms charge users with skyscraping fees and still take a long time to finalize transactions. However, Platio will prevent users from going through such dilemma, by making it possible for assets to be transferred internally. Furthermore, all assets that are linked with Platio crypto, fiat or stocks, will be transferred without charge and less processing time. This will be achieved by means of an internal messenger, which will make such transfers an interactive session for users to negotiate the transfer of assets through the Platioblockchain. Every transaction carried out will be immutable since they will be stored in Platio.
Payments and Remittances
This product will combine two methods of payment which are; payment and remittances using SWIFT/SEPA/Ripple & payment using OCT (Original Credit Transaction). By means of SWIFT/SEPA/Ripple all supported crypto and fiat assets may function as a means payment. However, payments that can be made by converting cryptocurrency to fiat will be executed automatically by an integrated automatic exchange. While the OCT functionality will be available for private and business users. In order to use this payment method, users must pass all KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures necessary for operation with fiat currencies. Platio users will be able to make transfers using both crypto and fiat as a means of payment and this will provide business users with mass payouts also initiated in crypto or fiat.
Invoicing and Processing
Although this product is mainly designed for business users, it will definitely be available for any user who wants to keep track of their incoming payments, since it will help in creating invoices in any crypto or fiat currency that is supported by Platio. Important details can be added to the invoice and it normally directs the payer to make payments through the Ecosystem. The online merchants will be able to accept both crypto and fiat currencies as payment for the products tjey normally sell and the services they render. Moreover, the merchants processing API will allow them pay via card, SWIFT transfer, or even a transfer in Platio or a crypto that works with Platio.
Smart Escrow
The Smart Escrow component will save money until the buyer receives any goods or services purchased while protecting the seller from late or loss of payments. Smart Escrow will only issue an individual his password after what they are paying for. Smart deals send crypto, fiat or stock to the seller of the product or service only after the parameters of the deal are met and the buyer actually receives product or service that was promised. This product will eventually act as a mediator and provide a service that allows for transparency in carrying out Escrow deals. Since this is likewise a smart contract, users involved in the contract can use the internal messenger to negotiate or communicate between themselves.
Exchange and Brokerage
This will be an essential part of the Platio smart ecosystem. It will be one of the most relevant instrument for users to exchange and trade fiat, crypto and stocks, while also being the underlying technology that will enable other products to obtain functionality. Moreover Platio will aim at supporting both the crypto community and prospective projects by allowing its users to buy and sell crypto assets with higher growth potential. The brokerage functionality will allow Platio to provide users with both traditional and crypto derivative financial instruments. The stocks and derivatives supported by Platio will be carefully selected by the platforms analysts. The ecosystem will be integrated with fiat and crypto liquidity providers and stock markets via API connections to achieve stability. Furthermore, the pricing of Platio trading pairs in crypto-fiat, fiat-crypto and crypto-crypto will be determined by internal supply and demand.
WHY CHOOSE PLATIO?
