About Boom

Boom enables online payments without banks.

As a decentralised global payments and settlement system built for financial inclusion and systemic resilience, Boom connects 2 billion cash-dependent consumers and the $33 trillion in offline value they hold to the digital economy.

With nodes distributed across the world and soon in space, Boom also provides traditional banks with a fault-tolerant backup payments rail that keeps transactions flowing even when core banking systems fail.

Whether it’s ordering a pizza or booking your next holiday, all online payments require a bank account—yet over 2 billion adults worldwide remain unbanked, limiting their participation in the digital economy. They rely solely on cash, which cannot be spent online.

Boom Technologies Ltd (“Boom”) bridges this gap by digitising cash and connecting it to the global digital economy, empowering everyone to securely spend, accept, and save cash online—without ever needing a bank, while maintaining robust compliance with AML/KYC regulations. Each transaction is traceable, verified, and compliant with local and international financial regulations.

Digital assets are generally subject to high volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and operational risk. Users should conduct their own due diligence and may wish to seek independent financial advice before engaging in any digital asset activity.

Tokenised Cash on Boom — including the tokenised GBP (bGBP) — should not experience volatility because they are backed 1:1 by GBP-denominated reserves held in-country for the benefit of bGBP holders. These reserves are managed in a Boom Reserve Fund, custodied by regulated financial institutions, and may consist of short-term Government bonds, gold, Bitcoin, and cash.

Boom Technologies Ltd, registered in England & Wales (Company No. 15034868), is not a bank, does not operate as one, and does not intend to become one. Boom is not authorised or regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
