Webtransfer: From a Pioneer of Social Lending to a Decentralized Future

Founded in 2006, Webtransfer began as a global money transfer service with a presence in major cities worldwide, from London to Shanghai. By 2013, leveraging its vast international network, Webtransfer ventured into the realm of social peer-to-peer (P2P) lending. This social credit network was established with the support of Webtransfer Corp. (NY) and Webtransfer Europe Ltd, and received regulatory backing from the FCA in the UK, ensuring its operations adhere to high standards of financial conduct and consumer protection.

Recognized as the first social credit network to reach over one million participants by 2014, Webtransfer introduced a revolutionary platform where users from various social networks could engage in P2P lending. This model, backed by a Guarantee Fund, proved more advantageous than traditional lending, growing to nearly 5 million members by 2015.

Innovation continued with the launch of Webtransfer VISA debit cards in 2015, enhancing the ease of transactions among participants. By 2017, the network expanded to 10 million users, handling over $100 million daily, despite global economic challenges.

Webtransfer also emerged at the forefront of the cryptocurrency wave by establishing the first non-custodial P2P exchange for electronic and crypto currencies. This platform set a precedent before the emergence of major exchanges like Binance, providing secure and innovative trading solutions.

The transition to blockchain in 2024 marked a significant pivot to decentralization, aiming to enhance transparency, security, and user engagement by integrating cutting-edge financial tools and DeFi innovations.

Today, as Webtransfer embraces blockchain technology, it is set to redefine mutual social lending, continuing its legacy as a fintech pioneer by making financial interactions more accessible and reliable for a global community.

The story of Webtransfer is a story of constant development and pursuit of innovation. The shift to a decentralized model is a logical step that will enable the company to take a leading position in the field of social finance of the future.
