N.M. Thakur, Chief Executive Officer of Unicorn Currencies
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

Businesses do not leave their bank over features. They leave the day a six figure payment is held, a supplier is not credited, and nobody takes ownership. I built Unicorn Currencies for that day. When your money is in motion, someone here is answerable for it, by name.
