BanQu Is Contributing to a Brighter Future for Refugee Populations

Having access to identification documents is vital for refugees as they try to resettle in a new homeland. BanQu’s innovative technology gives refugees tools for managing identity data and connecting to the global economy

The road to resettlement can be an unstable one for many refugees. But what if technology existed that connected refugees with the global economy and provided them with safeguards to protect important identity records? Thanks to BanQu, this technology has been created.
