Humaniq Opens London Office

Humaniq, a blockchain startup focusing on empowering the unbanked with financial services, has opened up a new office in London.

The London office will be a “key strategic hub” for the Humaniq team, the company announcement claimed. The office will begin the broader build-out of Humaniq across the global FinTech ecosystem and develop partnerships with startups, emerging technology experts, humanitarian organizations and the philanthropic community.

Humaniq’s London office was created with the support of Diana Biggs, an Industry Advisor at the UCL Centre for Blockchain Technologies and a published author on the use of emerging technologies by non-banks for financial inclusion.

“London is the perfect location for Humaniq,” said Biggs. “As a global fintech hub, it allows us to keep our finger on the pulse of the market and build out partnerships with startups and corporates alike for our API and platform growth, connecting the community to our advanced technology offerings from our Eastern European branch and our network of global ambassadors across Africa and Asia.”

London-based Dinis Guarda is joining Humaniq in an advisory role. Guarda brings over twenty years of experience in business and digital transformation. A strategist, curator, programmer and producer he has worked with major global organisations.

In addition, Alexander Perkins, an associate at Deep Knowledge Ventures, joins Humaniq as Vice President covering the American market.
