Interview with Yonatan Badash and Liam Nabet: Inside PesaCredito's Mission to Simplify Crypto Loans
DeFi Nexus: Today, we’re sitting down with Yonatan Badash, Head of PesaCredito, and Liam Nabet, Head Of Talks, to dive into their new venture, PesaCredito. This company is making waves in the DeFi space by offering collateral-free loans in cryptocurrency. Welcome, Yonatan Badash and Liam Nabet!
Yonatan Badash: Thanks for having us!
Liam Nabet: Great to be here!
DeFi Nexus: Let’s start with the basics. What exactly is PesaCredito, and how does it differ from other lending platforms in the crypto space?
Yonatan Badash: PesaCredito is designed to be a breath of fresh air in the crypto lending space. The idea is simple: we provide loans in cryptocurrency without requiring any collateral. Most platforms ask users to lock up significant amounts of their crypto as collateral, which can be limiting and even risky. We wanted to create a service that makes borrowing easier and more accessible for everyone, regardless of how much crypto they currently hold.
Liam Nabet: Exactly. We noticed that the crypto lending market was cluttered with jargon and complicated processes. Our goal with PesaCredito was to strip all that away and offer something straightforward. You don’t need to be an expert to understand how to use our platform. It’s as simple as pressing ‘Loan USDC’ and getting the funds you need.
DeFi Nexus: That’s an interesting approach, especially in a space where complexity often reigns. How did your partnership with L Pesa come about, and how does it enhance PesaCredito’s offerings?
Yonatan Badash: L Pesa has been a leader in financial technology for years, and when we were conceptualizing PesaCredito, it made sense to partner with them. Their technology and infrastructure are robust, and they share our vision of simplifying financial services. This partnership allows us to leverage their experience and provide a secure, reliable platform for our users.
Liam Nabet: Ron, the CEO of L Pesa, has been a pivotal figure in making this partnership happen. With L Pesa’s backing, we can focus on making the user experience as seamless as possible, knowing that we have a strong foundation supporting us.
DeFi Nexus: It sounds like you’re really focused on user experience. Can you tell us more about the goals you have for PesaCredito in the next year?
Yonatan Badash: Our primary goal is to scale PesaCredito and make it accessible to as many people as possible. We want to prove that crypto lending can be simple and that more people can benefit from it without having to jump through hoops. We’re also working on expanding our offerings, possibly introducing new types of loans or integrating with more cryptocurrencies.
Liam Nabet: We’re also focused on building trust within the community. The DeFi space can be intimidating, so we want to make sure people feel comfortable using PesaCredito. That means transparent communication, continuous improvement of our platform, and listening to user feedback.
DeFi Nexus: That’s commendable. Lastly, what would you say to someone who’s on the fence about using PesaCredito?
Yonatan Badash: I’d say, give it a try! The best way to understand what we’re offering is to experience it yourself. We’ve designed the platform to be user-friendly, so even if you’re new to crypto, you’ll find it easy to navigate.
Liam Nabet: Don’t let the complexities of the crypto world hold you back. With PesaCredito, we’re here to make things simpler for you. Just press ‘Loan USDC’ and see how easy it can be.
DeFi Nexus: Thanks so much for your time, Yonatan Badash and Liam Nabet. It’s exciting to see how PesaCredito is shaking things up in the DeFi space.
Yonatan Badash & Liam Nabet: Thank you!
