Swiss Forex trader and social network provider has recently unveiled its new messaging application called Dukascopy Connect.
Amidst the recent acquisition of messaging application WhatsApp by Facebook for $19 billion and revelations made by Edward Snowden about the NSA’s personal privacy concerns, Dukascopy is entering a trending market with a secure massaging platform.
The application, which until recently was used internally by the bank, will not be made available strictly to its existing clientele such as FX traders, but will be made available to the general public.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the new messaging service is the future promise of the possibility of “making cash transactions to anyone in your phonebook”. Following a trend which has proven successful in China with services like Tencent’s WeChat and Alibaba’s Laiwang, Dukascopy’s mobile messaging service can fill a niche missing in the majority of the western messaging applications.
Registration to the service will help build Dukascopy’s social network and offering a mobile payment and remittance service will connect more people to the bank’s services.
