Facilitating mass adoption of
cryptocurrencies, NFTs and DeFi products,
by simplifying their usage in everyday life

EQ Group is an Austrian Fintech company whose aim is to facilitate blockchain-


technology mass adoption, by simplifying the use of cryptocurrencies, NFT’s and DeFi
products in everyday life. EQ Group’s disruptive banking solution, the 'PowerWallet', is a
hybrid of a crypto wallet and an internet banking app, utilizing a virtual pooling concept
to allow crypto assets to be factored into the total spending limit for debit and credit
card payments. This virtual pooling feature will extend to freeing up crypto liquidity to
be used for traditional banking payments, like bank transfers, standing orders and direct
debits. EQ Group’s social fintech products aim to create a link between crypto and fiat
assets for its European customers, as well as accelerate financial inclusion within the
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region.
In contrast to Binance, Crypto.com or NEXO, the EQ Group offers far more than a card
connected to a crypto wallet, as their PowerWallet enables the complete automation of
spending on crypto assets. PowerWallet will allow users to make money transfers, direct
debit or debt collection payments, without the need to manually convert crypto into
fiat. PowerWallet will be user-friendly and an easy-to-use product for customers of any
age, irrespective of their previous experience with crypto.
With the integration of the messaging and social media app ‘flaim’, the EQ Group has
acquired over 1 million customers in Africa and across the globe. This has opened the
possibility of integrating payment services directly into the #flaimapp, which will enable
the rapid adoption of simplified mobile banking in the respective regions.
IQV4U is a virtual currency, representing the commercial value across the entire EQ
Group ecosystem. As the IQV4U coins are being used for rewards and cashback within
the MobileCommunity, the continuous expansion of the user base and the use of a wide
range of products creates a natural demand for the coin. The IQV4U coin is an ERC-20
token currently listed on Uniswap, 1inch exchange and Chaintoro with the aim of
becoming a cross-chain asset and being listed on various DEXs and CEXs.

VIRTUAL POOLING SYSTEM

Unique Selling Points

• Connecting traditional fiat currency with digital currencies thereby making it accessible to
everyone in everyday life in the simplest possible way (fictive pooling concept)

• First mover advantage in the individual life-insurance NFTs space – one of the most
lucrative and yet unexplored market segments within DeFi

• In-house messenger ‘flaim’, social media marketplace ‘flaim-market‘ and payment system
‘flaim-pay‘ with over 1 million combined users and growing, creating a natural demand by
using the platform products and services

• Combining online and offline channels for partner and client acquisition (existing 10,000
sales agents plus a dedicated sales team)

• EG Group’s internal community platform ensuring cross-selling and client loyalty

• Standardized plug-ins for product suppliers enabling the connected communities and their
partners to generate revenue and profitability. This commercial interface is a challenge
many of the existing fintech companies find difficult to overcome, often only being achieved
by penalizing their users with unnecessary fees

• Specialized industry teams leading the various EQ Group divisions, in particular banking,
insurance, digital assets, social media, sales and community

The EQ Group has already reached several milestones, such as the integration of the flaim super app
1.0 with 0.5 million subscribers and the MobileCommunity platforms 1.0 & 2.0 with over 10,000
sales partners. Facilitation of blockchain technology mass adoption is still largely untapped, which
creates a great opportunity for EQ Group.
EQ Group is uniquely positioned, as it aims to simplify the usage of cryptocurrencies, NFTs and DeFI
products in everyday life. Further improvements to the PowerWallet and the release of the stand-
alone app in the Q4/2021 will significantly increase the benefits of the entire EQ ecosystem. After
the successful completion of the ICO with over 15,000 private investors, the EQ Group's conversion
into the DeFi space will reduce systemic risk and increase the long-term profitability of the project.
