As such, we will continue to create new payment, investment and asset management experiences for our customers," Babacar N. Seck, Chairman and Founder of Petale Group.
Petale continues to deploy its technologies, automating the investment and wealth management processes. Its value proposition responds to a very open market initiated to new types of digital assets. The group is preparing to open up its financial services via its mobile application to the largest possible number of qualified investors.
