Our objective is to create a world class application that responds to the need in the market to provide customers with a convenient and effective communication and payment tool. Our application will be ideal for travelers, digital nomads, and anyone who wants to have everything in one place and available with a click. Over the past year we have worked with methodologies such as Canvas and Kano to define the user persona for our application – a follow-up to the market analysis that we performed in 2021 with Codeversity.”
