The company aims to improve financial and social inclusion, providing current accounts for those in rural areas and target Hispanic and Muslim diasporas.

The patent-pending “Bumping” technology is now available in the Saurus.com App and allows smartphones to act as a virtual ATM, for nearby users to deposit cash through them and instantly receive that money in electronic form in their first-ever created current account.

An innovative instant payment transfer device, acting as an NFC repeater, is ready for commercial release, with the first 10 thousand units being manufactured with initial deliveries starting in July 2021.

CEO of Rewire Holding, Jose Merino, is a former Silicon Valley-based Vice President Operations of Philips Consumer Communications and a co-founder & COO of Sensei Ltd which he took from start-up to a trade sale exit to Vtech Holdings of Hong Kong.
