# Welcome to NØFI

![NØFI — NEW ORDER FINANCE](/files/B18rK8af3WvtHRFGNYJe)

{% hint style="info" %}
**NØFI** — NEW ORDER FINANCE. A self-custody stablecoin neobank for the people traditional banking ignores.
{% endhint %}

#### The Opportunity

Over **400 million people** in Latin America and Southeast Asia earn internationally but are stuck banking in broken local currencies. They lose value to devaluation, capital controls, and predatory FX spreads every single day. Stablecoins solved the "hold in dollars" problem — but almost nobody has solved **"live on stablecoins"**: spend them like money, get a real card, earn real yield, without giving up self-custody.

NØFI is building that missing layer.

#### What NØFI Does

| Feature                        | Description                                                                                |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Self-Custody Wallet**        | Non-custodial embedded wallet — you control your keys, not us                              |
| **Visa Debit Card**            | Self-custodial Visa card, live in Colombia — spend stablecoins at 80M+ merchants worldwide |
| **Yield on Idle Balances**     | Earn APY pass-through yield on stablecoin holdings                                         |
| **Fiat Off-Ramps**             | Seamless local currency conversion — COP live, more markets coming                         |
| **Cross-Chain Routing**        | LI.FI-powered liquidity aggregation across chains                                          |
| **White-Label Infrastructure** | Deploy branded neobanks for diaspora communities worldwide                                 |

#### Why Now

Stablecoins have crossed **$200B in circulation** and **$30B+ in daily volume**. Monthly active stablecoin users have surpassed **30 million** — comparable to top neobanks like Revolut. Yet the vast majority of this value is held and traded, not spent as money day-to-day.

The rails are ready. The users are waiting. What's missing is the product that makes stablecoins feel like a bank account — with the UX of a Nubank and the self-sovereignty of a hardware wallet.

#### Distribution Strategy

NØFI scales through two parallel channels — direct acquisition and white-label deployments:

**Direct: Content Creators in Medellín**

NØFI's first direct market is the content-creator economy in Medellín, Colombia — a community that is paid internationally, underserved by local banks, and has zero patience for friction.

**White-Label: Diaspora Communities**

NØFI's infrastructure can deploy as **branded neobanks** for specific diaspora and community markets. The first white-label deployment is **DaywaPay** — a version of the NØFI platform built for the Myanmar diaspora (\~7M people, \~$5B annual remittances), co-founded by **Dave Leduc**, the World Lethwei Champion and a household name in Myanmar with 4M+ followers.

Same self-custody infrastructure, same Visa card, same yield — localized branding and community-driven distribution.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Two flywheels, one infrastructure.** Every white-label deployment shares NØFI's core stack, meaning each new market adds volume and leverage without rebuilding.
{% endhint %}
