October 1-st held an Ask Me Anything session at ICO Speaks telegram chat. From the Cryptoxpress side there was: Nilesh | Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer at CX | @NileshCryptoXpress My name is Nilesh Patel, and I am the Chief Growth Officer for CryptoXpress. I’m based in Manchester the UK and I have been involved in the cryptography sector for over 18 years. My last role prior to going full time at CryptoXpress was as the CIO of a company that was previously owned by Symantec, the developers of Norton Antivirus. That’s just a bit about me but please feel free to reach out after this AMA.
Let’s get started! Q: Who is CryptoXpress? What’s your company mission and vision?
A: CryptoXpress is a team of global professionals based in the UK, Australia, Germany, UAE, and India who have come together to create the future Fintech.
The vision for the platform is to become the most user friendly and feature rich mobile application in the banking and cryptocurrency sectors.
CryptoXpress marries traditional banking (fiat bank accounts, transfers, and debit cards) with the future of banking which is cryptocurrencies and NFTs (real estate and other assets in the future).
Ultimately, the goal is to take our experience, knowledge and networks to impart it onto future founders and projects through our own crowdfunding and launchpad platforms.
Q: What problems are you trying to solve?
A: In the next 10 years we expect over 5 billion new entrants into the market, who will need several financial technologies to manage their daily lives.
Currently that journey requires multiple accounts on multiple platform which are poorly integrated and difficult to use.
The CryptoXpress team includes global leaders in the User Experience and User Interface sector, Technology Sector, Cryptocurrency Sector, Marketing Sectors, Legal Sector and others to create a platform that will allow global citizens to manage all their finaadsfncial needs, all in 1 app, and all with a few clicks.
No headache, no fuss, it just works.
Q: What are the main features of CryptoXpress? What differentiates you from the competitors?
A: CryptoXpress includes a full E-banking platform which includes fiat bank accounts and debit cards, along with a full 1000 coin pair trading platform, and also a cutting-edge multi-chain NFT marketplace.
In the future it will include additional features such as a retail and travel platform.
Currently the closest competitor we have is Revolut and already our application which is launching this month has many more features which they do not include.
Our user interface is absolutely cutting edge, and in our target markets, nothing like CryptoXpress currently exists, which is why the team has come together to create the platform.
Q: Who are the core members of the team?
A: 🔸The CryptoXpress team has more than 300 years of combined Cryptocurrency, Information Technology, Finance, Marketing, Design, and Management Consulting expertise across multiple global markets:
👨💼Yogesh Panjabi 18 years experience in the IT industry, servicing global governments, currently at KPMG Australia.

Q: What is the XPRESS token? A: Еhe XPRESS Token is a utility token on the Binance Smart Chain.
CryptoXpress is part of the Binance Broker program which very few companies are a part of globally and we have a strong partnership and working relationship with them.
The XPRESS Token utility features are as follows:
🔸Discounts on service commissions
🔸Discounts for e-banking services
🔸Discounts on travel and retail services
🔸Required for NFT purchases
🔸Used as part of merchant account services for external vendors
🔸Many other uses to be announced
Q: What are your tokenomics like? What is the vesting period?
A: Current vesting periods are 4% TGE and then monthly vesting after that.
The monthly vesting depends on which round the investor invests in.
Below are the besting period for the token sales.
ㄴAngel Round 4% at TGE, 4% Monthly Vesting
ㄴSeed Round (VCs and VIPs) 4% at TGE, 6% Monthly Vesting
But I think it should be clear that our tokenomics have been well thought out and the team is only interested creating a long term environment for the token. Q: In terms of regulation, are you fully compliant? How is CryptoXpress ensuring that it remains compliant?
A: Yes CryptoXpress is fully compliant and regulated in Estonia.
We have a fully registered company along with a full cryptocurrency license which is indefinite.
In terms of our e-banking offerings, we are sublicensing the banking license from our banking partners and in this way we leave the professionals to do what they do best while we focus on our strengths too.
Our head compliance manger was previously employed at EY’s compliance division.
Our head legal counsel is an ex-SEC lawyer, who has been the counsel to multiple blockchain projects, including some that have been worth over 1 billion USD.
He also co-wrote the world’s first ICO laws for the country of Anguilla (this can be Googled).
We only work with best in class providers and best in class professionals.
Q: What stage are you at right now for your product and token launch?
A: The CryptoXpress app is complete and is ready for launch later this month and our IDO will be at the end of October/First week of November.
While I cannot reveal the key IDO platform that we will be launching on rest assured, the entire crypto communities have heard of them. We are also exploring the option of launching our IDO jointly along with an IEO on a major exchange at the same time.
Q: What is CryptoXpress’ product roadmap looking like? One year? Five years?
A: CryptoXpress will be launching its mobile application in October, as mentioned, then further in December, we will be adding ebanking features. Later next year in March to April we will be launching our own launchpad and crowd funding platform. Further in 2022, towards the middle of the year, we will be adding retail and travel features to round out the feature set. That is when our base feature set will be complete and then the real innovation will begin. Stay tuned for more details, I think we will be surprising many people out there with what’s coming.
