LONDON, May 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Cashaa is creating a better bank, challenging legacy banking by building an app and products with input from their community of users. This ambitious mission required a greater understanding and vast experience of Banking and needed a strong team who can deliver it. Cashaa is now on the verge of closing their Token Sale (CAS) distribution. Due to their strict KYC policies and approach towards compliance they were able to set an example for the entire cryptocurrency industry. They have raised more than $33 Million, but rejected $14.7 Million to keep Cashaa's foundation strong and clean.

Cashaa was able to prove to the world that they are more than just another company conducting a token sale. This is why people from top banks and technology companies like HSBC, Barclays, Bank Of America, JP Morgan Chase as well as from large Indian banks like ICICI and Axis, have started quitting their comfortable jobs and joining Cashaa.

In the last 3 months they have welcomed a number of 28 new key team members into the Cashaa family, which will grow further to 49 by the end of June.

Some of their new team members who are working to build a worldwide integrated banking system for Cashaa are :

His incredible experience in design, architecting and development of banking systems comes from HSBC.

During the project development he has been a key resource in analyzing the requirements and designing the framework using UML to support different platforms. Being associated with Banking and financial domain services for the last 12 years, he possesses strong knowledge on areas such as internet banking, cards, security and payments, software applications based on various frontend and backend technologies.

Dhanasekaran Sukumaran, Cashaa Project Manager, has over 13 years of experience and worked with investment banks such as Merrill Lynch, Bank Of America, JP Morgan Chase and BNP Paribas on project implementation and has excellent knowledge on Business Intelligence and Equities.

With an outstanding professional approach and keen knowledge, Garima has worked for top companies such as: Capital One, Barclays, American Express, Cvent and Auxesis Group.

Their new members, working together with their existing team members (with a vast experience of Banking) will be crucial for the development of Cashaa's ecosystem. With the help of their team members like Rakesh Lakhey, Cashaa EVP Sales - Asia, who has more than 15 years experience in Banking, including working for the World Bank. Simo Mcunu, Cashaa VP Sales - Africa, who joined them from the First National Bank in South Africa, during their Token sale. Thanks to Dominic Melo, Cashaa's Chief Payments Officer whose constant hard work is helping Cashaa to build a complete banking team around its ecosystem.

"Our hard work in following the compliance process and rejecting millions of dollars has finally started paying off in the form of talents joining us. Extraordinary minds have started quitting their comfortable positions in huge banks to join Cashaa. This is the validation that Cashaa is moving in the right direction to become the next generation banking solution." - Kumar Gaurav
