Pioneers in blockchain and emerging technologies sponsor BLOCKCHANCE

TEN31 Bank AG, together with the blockchain project Nimiq and the Austrian digital payment provider Salamantex GmbH is bridging crypto and digital payments. Blockchain-based currencies are gaining more and more acceptance worldwide as a form of payment. Ten31 Bank plans to contribute to this development by providing regulated banking solutions that are independent and available to everyone. To achieve this, they will collaborate with different partners and across borders, as TEN31 Bank itself is an association of associated Fintech projects.

“This is probably the biggest revolution in payment transactions since the introduction of the credit card”, said Matthias von Hauff, Chairman of the Board of TEN31 Bank AG, as he presents on BLOCKCHANCE press conference ahead of the event. 

TEN31 Bank AG is bridging traditional finance with the new world of digital currencies. Founded in 2015 as WEG Bank, TEN31 Bank initially focussed exclusively on real estate. In 2018 they dared to leap into the crypto world and the institute expanded its portfolio of blockchain-based applications.

Hauff, himself a crypto enthusiast and a distinguished speaker and well-known entrepreneur, enjoys questioning the status quo and is always looking for innovation. Already at the age of 21 he thought the world needed a new approach to banking and finance. As a graduate of Cass Business School in 2001, he first built a career in investment banking in London. After leading an international team of portfolio specialists across Europe he decided in 2007 to found his own bank in Munich, which he later sold to a German housing association. In 2015 he founded TEN31 Bank AG.

New to HoverChain is one of the platform’s E2E approaches: Instead of individual building blocks, it is a platform that enables uncomplicated entire business processes (such as building a bank) and combines it with cloud and blockchain technologies. This means complete flexibility from scratch, allowing individual elements to be used simultaneously but also successively. At the same time, it also provides a holistic ‘seamless’ approach for customers using the platform, as well as the end consumers that can experience and use the technology in its entirety.

VG Pecunia brings actuarial science into a new era. Actuarial Science is a professional discipline that is much in-demand across a broad spectrum of industry sectors. However, it is often misunderstood and many people still think of Actuaries as someone who is boring, wears a suit and sits behind a desk all day, crunching numbers.

This misconception is a result of the average person having little understanding of Actuarial Science largely due to the profession remaining relatively invisible to the public eye despite it having a huge impact on our everyday lives such as Banking and Insurance. VG Pecunia, an independent Actuarial Consulting Firm is looking to change all that by shaking up the actuarial services industry by bringing actuarial services closer to average investors.  They combine cutting-edge technologies such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain with mathematics and statistics to minimize risks and increase profits for institutional clients as well as the average retail investor.

What sets VG Pecunia Limited apart from other industry players is that it places a strong emphasis on providing actuarial services to the average retail investor making it an industry player to watch out for in 2022.
