The Fact

When the Internet was commercialised in the mid-90s with payments provided only by the banking system, it excluded a large portion of the global population—those without access to banking or living in cash-based economies—preventing their participation in e-commerce.

Hal Finney's invention of Bitcoin and blockchain technology made online payments without banks possible.

Boom has commercialised this innovation as the commerce, payment and settlement system for cash, enabling online transactions without the need for traditional banking.

To maximise human economic potential

Our Mission

Boom has ushered in a new era of financial freedom by enabling everybody to transact online without banking, and to pay for goods and services across borders in their local currencies.

As an equitable, inclusive, and currency-agnostic global commerce ecosystem, Boom connects the cash-based economies of Africa and other emerging markets to the global digital economy as a partner for their GDP growth, while securing the socio-economic well-being of their citizens, for generations to come.

About

Boom stands at the forefront of financial inclusion by enabling the 1.7 billion unbanked people and businesses across the world to buy, sell, pay and get paid online without requiring a financial institution for payment processing.

At the core of Boom's comprehensive commerce ecosystem is the mass market Boom superapp, encompassing a Marketplace for all goods and services, a Wallet for payments, Boom Talks for secure communication, and Boom Hose for community engagement.

Boomswap is the ecosystem's decentralised digital asset exchange protocol where all the world's currencies have been tokenised to foster cross-border trades in local fiat, and at layer one is the Boom blockchain, and its root asset, the Boomcoin (BMC), the only acceptable form of payment for fees, goods and services across the entire Boom Ecosystem.

Boom Foundation is the ecosystem's non-profit, focused on impact investments for social good using its grant of 50 million BMC.
