Episode 71 - RemittDAO - Crypto, the future of remittances, and inclusion for the unbanked

For Episode 71, we’re excited to welcome Craig Schuster, Founder of RemittDAO, a social impact DAO focused on building wealth in migrant & refugee families, worldwide. They do this through teaching web3 skills & enabling digital remittance payments; especially for those who are unbanked. In this episode we discuss how crypto can build a fairer remittance system for migrant workers and those who are unbanked, their plan to provide web3 and digital remittance education to migrant communities, how crypto and web3 can lead to financial inclusion for the unbanked, and much more.

Three Key Takeaways

• The remittance system is broken, and those who are most vulnerable, such as refugees, migrant workers, and the unbanked, are paying the price with high fees and interest rates.
• The tools exist to fix the remittance system with cryptocurrency. However, we can’t go by an “if we build it, they will come” approach. Coordinated education is needed to make sure those who need these tools most have the support and onboarding to make use of them.
• A community-driven approach is needed to implement web3 solutions in vulnerable populations. These solutions must be locally-driven, with the local communities having ownership over the project.
