Supporting customers’ digital needs

VNB described the combination of the two businesses as an important step in the Web3 revolution that will support “the digital needs of its customers.”
As a result of the acquisition of FHM by VNB, the safcoin, launched in 2018, will “list and consolidate all digital use cases and platforms on the new VNB-created Cowrie exchange and partnerships.” Neil Ferreira, co-founder and CEO of FHM, had this to say about their plans to list more exchanges:
Together with VNB, we plan to expand our global reach with more international exchange partner listings. We received good support from the international crypto market with our initial listing and we are proud to fly the SA [South Africa] flag into the global crypto space.
