With Vella Finance, businesses are able to send money to suppliers and partners in over 80 countries and also receive payments seamlessly from their customers via payment links, invoices, and payment gateway integration.

When Bitpowr’s Head of Sales approached Vella, the company was relying on a merchant’s in-house Wallet infrastructure for its Blockchain operations. However, as Vella continued to experience growth, they realized the need for a more reliable and scalable solution and Bitpowr was providing it, from there the team decided to give Bitpowr a try and the rest they say is history.

The Problem

Vella initially relied on a direct competitor’s infrastructure to power their operations. However, as they started to experience growth, they soon realized that their existing infrastructure had limitations in terms of scalability. The increasing demands of their expanding operations outpaced the capabilities of the competitor’s infrastructure, creating a challenge for Vella. In response, they opted for Bitpowr a more reliable and scalable solution to support their growing business.

Gabriel’s thoughts on the future of finance for cross-border payment solutions?

The potential is already here, waiting to be fully realized. The main factor that will drive this future is the adoption and approval by government bodies, along with the necessary licensing and regulatory frameworks. Once these elements are in place, we can expect to see widespread implementation of blockchain technology in the financial sector.

From my perspective, the future of finance on the blockchain offers several advantages, including cost reduction, increased efficiency, faster transaction speeds, enhanced security, and greater transparency. These are all critical aspects that can revolutionize the financial industry.

It’s important to note that the adoption of blockchain in finance is not a matter of if, but rather a matter of when. The benefits and potential are already evident, and it’s only a matter of time before governments recognize and embrace this technology for the betterment of their financial systems.

As we navigate this path, a collaboration between industry players, regulators, and governments will be crucial to ensure a smooth transition and to establish the necessary trust and confidence in blockchain-based financial solutions.
