Will #Sikoba replace the banking system?

Sikoba is not a bank replacement, it is designed to bring #credit trading back to people alongside bank money.

In Germany, until a few decades ago, promissory notes (“Wechsel”) were routinely used by #SMEs - until bank credit became easily accessible.

Do I need to have a bank account or cash to get started?

No, you do not need a bank account or cash. You can simply download #SikobaPay, find other users whom you know or already do #business with, and start accepting their #credit.

#Sikoba is targeted at small #business owners, traders & artisans who do not necessarily know about #crypto. Our users will be interested in the functionalities rather than in the #blockchain aspect.
