HubrisOne Vision

HubrisOne’s vision is to bring the benefits of traditional world of finance and banking and the new world of cryptocurrencies together in a new, secure, regulated and user-friendly way.

There is a need for a regulated, trusted and licensed go to solution that will help new investors to adopt into the cryptocurrency market, whilst still maintaining the importance of their trusted banking system they use on a daily basis. HubrisOne knows that current banking system has plenty of improvement points. HubrisOne might improve their current processes and services on offer by leveraging the technology such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

HubrisOne aims to become the world’s first cryptocurrency friendly digital bank, fully complaint and regulated within the United Kingdom.

The Problem

Challenges Caused by the Infancy of Cryptocurrency Market

Due to its infancy the cryptocurrency market is facing many significant issues, including but not limited to;

The lack of global financial inclusion (CGAP, 2018)

Lack of a full end-to-end, on ramp and off ramp platform for new investors into the cryptocurrency market.

Unregulated services and solutions such as exchanges, derivatives and indexes and other investment derivative investment linked products (TechCrunch, 2018)

Price volatility and manipulation (CNN, 2018)
Lack of trust, transparency and Fraud (HBR, 2018)

Viewing Cryptocurrency Differently From Fiat Currencies

Most of the people in traditional finance space believe that cryptocurrencies will not be around in the future. On the contrary, most of the cryptocurrency enthusiasts believe the opposite. HubrisOne sees the market evolving and developing to find a fair-balanced middle ground between the two form of currencies as noted above. Therefore, it is most probable that cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies in the future will operate as one overarching option of global currency, with each having their own use case. If cryptocurrencies are to be taken seriously by the world and for mass adoption to be achieved, HubrisOne needs to legitimise cryptocurrencies through a trustworthy, secure and regulated medium, channel or solution.

Recognising the Role of the Banking System

Most of the cryptocurrency enthusiasts are against the banking system with a subjective approach. An objective and realistic analysis of to the existing banking systems reveals the fact that it plays important roles in peoples lives. Global banking system has been established, built and trusted for over 200 years. This 200-year old banking industry has its pitfalls, however, it is important to emphasise its significance, access and opportunities it has given (BBA):

secure payment networks that keep the world’s economy moving 24/7
Providing financing and access for people to buy their dream homes, cars or holidays
Allows billions of people each day to pay for goods and services on and offline
Has provided millions of jobs globally
Pays millions of salaries everyday
Moves billions of payments everyday globally

The Cryptocurrency World Needs a Bank

Recently, the world and the cryptocurrency community has witnessed a severe backlash from traditional banks, payments processors and credit card companies banning customers and users from buying, investing or transacting in any cryptocurrency related businesses (Forbes, 2018).

Complacency & Poor Customer Service

Only 23 percent of customers globally believe their bank is meeting their expectations, according to a newly released survey of 9,000 bank customers in nine countries by FIS, a banking and payments technology company (FIS, 2015). Banks globally are failing to meet their customer’s expectations; however, customers do not have or know of any alternatives they can switch to due to the monopolistic nature and copy-cat offerings each bank presents. Below are a few issues and examples banks place on to their valued customers, not limited to the following:

Old fashioned and outdated verification systems – up to 20-minute wait times
Lack of new and innovative communication channels – no live chat
Slow and outdated payment systems
No payments processed on the weekend
Unnecessary fees for overdrafts and missed payments
Long wait times for a new card or pin number

The Banks: Extortionate Global Exchange Fees

When you are sending money to a different location and you transfer money the banks can charge you up to the purchase is in a different currency, the banks can charge you up to 13% on each transfer. The greedy and unfair part is they could give you the inter-bank FX rates whereby your fees are reduced by up to 98% to 100%. Here’s an excerpt taken from (TD, 2018)– which captures the above problem perfectly. “So let’s say you are moving countries and you sold your house in one country and bought in another. $200,000 house, transferring from London to New York, or from Sydney to San Francisco. How much do you pay the bank when you wire the money? You might be shocked to discover that the fees are as high as 13%.

That’s on a round-trip exchange, meaning if you changed the money then changed it back you would lose 13%. Of course you’re not going do a round trip exchange, but it gives you the idea of how much the banks are making. The average fees are around 7% round-trip or 3.5% one way. This means that on your $200,000 house you just paid $7,000 to the bank to transfer the money for you.”

Below you will find a table that displays the add-on fees banks commission on each of your transfers you make.

[[]]

Additionally, to the above HubrisOne finds the following issues are very prevalent and need to be disrupted: HubrisOne’s research and market analysis suggests the majority of people are unhappy and are unsatisfied with their bank for various reasons, ranging from, but not limited to:

Fees being too high
Lack of quality customer service
Significant inefficiency
Lack of innovation
Greed and not being customer-centric

High Competition in Customer Acquisition

Acquiring and retaining profitable customers is an ever-growing challenge for banks. It is apparent that customer demographics, buying behaviour and needs are evolving rapidly, and have accelerated even more with the introduction of cryptocurrencies.

The competition is aggressive and adapting rapidly. Traditional banks now need a 360-degree view of each customer in order to focus their resources efficiently (BoC, 2017).

Solutions & Value Propositions

Instant Digital Bank Accounts

HubrisOne has made it extremely easy and simple to create a bank account in GBP, USD and EUR dominated currencies. This means, upon approval of KYC and AML, users will be able to transact, transfer and store funds as they would in their bank account today. For free.

Users can securely pay in your salary, set up recurring payments or pay bills and merchants.

International Transfers using Stellar Blockchain

There is no need to wait 3-5 days for intentional payments to arrive, and no need to pay extortionate exchange fees. HubrisOne has made it extremely easy for users to transfer funds from their HubrisOne bank account using secure blockchain payments, this brings many benefits never seen before in the banking industry, such as:

Real-time traceability and tracking of funds, you’ll know when and where your transfer is at all times
International payments using the Stellar blockchain Connectivity across international banking payments networks
An instant on-demand settlement, when you transfer with faster payments or SEPA (usually within 2-4 hours)

A key feature of the HubrisOne app will be the ability to conduct traditional and blockchain international payments. Users will be given the option of transferring funds to bank accounts via SEPA, SWIFT or Faster Payments or send via Stellars’ international blockchain payment technology.

Why Stellar?

Quick settlement. 3-5 seconds for a token holder to send the token to someone else.
Cheap transactions
Built in exchange with any other token, asset or currency in the network.

The Growth of Smartphone Usage and Unbanked

The growth of smartphone usage aligns with our growth plans and direction of developing an app only digital banking solution which is lightweight, secure and accessible. In saying this, there are over 2 billion unbanked adults who do not have access to the banking infrastructure that we take we granted.

According to Statista, the number of smartphone users is forecast to grow from 2.1 billion in 2016 to around 2.5 billion in 2019, with smartphone penetration rates increasing we see a general global shift to mobile-only digital solutions and banking is an area that is due for a digital shake-up (Statista, 2016).

Helping Cryptocurrency Adoption

The HubrisOne app will increase the adoption rate through our cryptocurrency integrated digital banking accounts.

By presenting a familiar banking solution with cryptocurrency integration, we will slowly increase adoption and gain users at the same time

By enabling our target market to execute their day to day banking operations from the HubrisOne app and providing easy access to the cryptocurrency market infrastructure, we provide a simple vessel for users to adopt cryptocurrencies exponentially.

Business Model

The Market Opportunity: How Big is the Global Market?

The market for the HubrisOne app and digital banking solution is vast and an extremely attractive market. Firstly, we are offering a digital banking solution to people who meet the following criteria:

Have a smartphone with internet connection with access to Apple App Store or Google Play
Have or need a bank account.
Over 18

Note: The above criteria has been simplified for illustration purposes, but already, the evidence is apparent that our solution is a mass market product and applies to the mass population, which already shows the potential demand of the market we are targeting. According to the WSBI, over 37 million individuals do not have a bank account within the EU. The EU will be the first regional hub HubrisOne will launch (WSBI). On the contrary, over 430 million individuals have a bank account within the EU. The above two criteria are our target market we will focus on upon launch of HubrisOne. A combined 467 million target opportunity in the EU alone. Additionally, we have identified over 2 billion global unbanked adults which will be our secondary target market. HubrisOne appeals to the mass market, however we have further segmented this market in order for our focus to not be too wide. Hence our proposition is cryptocurrency-banking, cryptocurrency first and compliant and regulated banking solutions second.

Customer Acquisition Strategy

We will implement three key customer acquisition models which will generate revenue to cover costs, increase cryptocurrency adoption and increase the rate of customer acquisition.

Our customer acquisition model is a simple yet effective strategy. Many of our future users and customers will be acquired through the following three key acquisition strategies. We ensured that the cost to acquire was significantly lower than the future revenue and monetization potential each customer would bring.

We will be focusing and are implementing three strategic customer acquisition channels:

Freemium Model

HubrisOne will offer basic digital current accounts services for free in addition to other services. However, a fee will be charged per month for additional premium services.

By giving away the basic product for free it is easier to attract users and create a strong customer base. Some key benefits we see are: Customer acquisition, marketing effect via word of mouth and network effect, the more people that use HubrisOne the more people it will attract.

Hubris Token Reward for User Sign up

The second key strategic acquisition channel we see as being effective and significant is leveraging the native HubrisOne cryptocurrency tokens (HBRS) which will be used as a reward (among other uses) for each customer that signs up with HubrisOne.

By rewarding users to sign up with our Hubris Token, we incentivise and reward new users to join and share. This will increase the rate of our customer acquisition, and significantly increase the growth rate of our customer base via organic network and marketing effect.

Partnerships & Third Party Open Platform

The third key strategic acquisition channel we see as being effective and significant is creating and building an open platform for third-party blockchain and non-blockchain services.

Creating an open platform for non-conflicting third-party services and solutions we:

create a revenue stream via commissions and on-boarding fee.
we create awareness of blockchain services thereby increasing adoption
we increase the scope of services we provide indirectly without increasing the cost of having to offer these services directly. Partnerships will be key and we are in discussions with key players in financial services, insurance, and retail.

Competition & Differentiation

We are aware of competing solutions which offer similar or fragmented digital banking solutions. However, we are yet to identify a solution which offers the same offerings as HubrisOne. Upon analysis we find the market is in it’s infancy and our value propositions have been tailored to our primary customer segment.

Below you will find three potential competitors, now and in the future:

Wirex
Revolut
TenX

Note: There may be smaller competitors, however we have not identified them as serious contenders for the cryptocurrency and digital banking market. These smaller competitors have been identified as: MinexPay, ViaBuy

Although we have identified there are competitors, we have mapped out the market ad understand that our solution differentiates significantly.

Revenue Generation & Sustainability

Revenue Generation Split

The chart below visually displays whether the majority of our revenue generation streams will derive from, this is subject to change as we launch and test the market with different marketing and customer acquisition strategies.

Membership Fees

We estimate and predict that the majority (~70%) of our revenues will be generated from monthly membership fees which will be billed in the user’s nominated currency. It is important for HubrisOne to capture market share early on, and convert users over to the paid premium membership.

Crypto-Backed Lending

20% of revenues will derive from cryptocurrency backed loans and financing which will be available directly from the app. We aim to apply a 10% APR flat interest rate on any applications made through the app. Once again volumes will be very important for the company to grow and increase revenues.

Open Partner Marketplace

We anticipate generating the least revenue from our open partner marketplace, however, this was stablished upon developing this value proposition. We expect this solution to add value to our customers, increase the scope of services that we offer without the added costs and partner with some of the world’s largest corporates.

Customer Acquisition Analysis: Years 1-5

Below you will find details and data points regarding our customer acquisition within the first five years of operation. We have based these predictions on real, tangible, relevant data points. We have used Revolut’s growth rate in the past two years as a base standard. Revolut in some respect can be identified as a potential competitor of HubrisOne.

The data below has been adjusted to reflect the following:

The infancy of HubrisOne
Lack of brand awareness of HubrisOne
Proof of concept only and no working product
New cryptocurrency solution and a relatively new market

According to (CNBC, 2017), Revolut was signing up and acquiring over 3,500 users every single day. As mentioned above we will not use the same growth and acquisition rate due to the reasons mentioned earlier. We will apply a 50% reduction in customer acquisition growth. See below for our estimates, analysis and predictions for HubrisOne.

Customer Lifetime Value

Our customer lifetime value, is a simple equation – (current revenue – cost to acquire, projected over the customer lifecycle). However, it is very difficult to measure in today’s changing and always evolving business context. We’ve simplified the above formula to apply to the estimated customer acquisition, number of paid users over a predicted 17 years LTV (life time value cycle).

A new study suggests that the average time a customer remains with a bank is 17 years (Gaurdian, 2013). We will use this as our foundation to generate a customer lifetime value based on 30% of our acquired customers being premium paid users.

Upon launch and through the development of HubrisOne we will establish the perfect monthly fee to charge users per month for our services. The above is only analysis to illustrate the potential of our targeted market over a five-year period without factoring in growth, inflation and others.

As the chart displays above it is important to acquire users, as the more we acquire the higher the growth opportunity and LTV becomes for HubrisOne.

HubrisOne Membership Breakdown

For the purposes of this descriptive whitepaper we have decided to focus solely on membership fees which will form the backbone of our revenue and sustainability model.

See below for our proposed membership model. Free and Premium, with each having their target customers and benefits.

Marketing Channels

HubrisOne has identified it’s user base and customer segment to be digital natives, so it only makes sense for the company to focus heavily on digital marketing channels. As a full digital banking alternative the companies focus is to use analytical tools to effectively target and acquire customers. HubrisOne’s digital marketing campaigns will be the building blocks or actions within customer’s strategy that move them toward their short-term and long-term goals.

We will focus on social media and digital marketing channels, with zero print or television media. The following channels is where we will be focusing our efforts:

Google Adwords
Instagram Influencers
Twitter Ads
Youtube Ads
Instagram Ads
Facebook Ads
Quora Ads

We have divided our strategy by deeply segmenting our target customer by the following criteria: Quantitative (or Demographic) Information

Location
Age
Income
Job Title

We will utilise the following three forms of media in conjunction with above social media channels mentioned, HubSpot has provided a short summary on what each type of media provides.

Owned Media This refers to the digital assets that your brand or company owns — whether that’s your website, social media profiles, blog content, or imagery, owned channels are the things your business has complete control over.

Earned Media Quite simply, earned media refers to the exposure you’ve earned through word-of-mouth. Whether that’s content you’ve distributed on other websites (e.g., guest posts), PR work you’ve been doing, or the customer experience you’ve delivered, earned media is the recognition you receive as a result.

Paid Media Paid media is a bit self-explanatory in what its name suggests — and refers to any vehicle or channel that you spend money on to catch the attention of customer’s buyer personas. Marketing will be extremely significant for HubrisOne and as a result the team has dedicated over 20% of funding to marketing alone.

Conclusion

Cryptocurrency space does not need fastest blockchains, flawless dApps, shortest settlement times or lowest fees to proceed to the next level. It only needs wider adoption to achieve that. Current phase of cryptocurrency ecosystem is not mature enough to replace traditional systems or processes. It is in its’ infancy.

It is not realistic to expect cryptocurrency to replace fiat currency. On the other hand, cryptocurrencies will not disappear or become idle. In order to achieve wider adoption of cryptocurrencies, we need a solution which, respects and identifies the importance of the traditional banking system and the benefits it provides, however at the same time, removing the greed, unfairness in exchange fees, removing the inefficiencies such as physical branches and call centres – whilst at the same time improving the customer service, product innovation, technology and becoming more customer centric.

Banks have been enabling the tradition to continue globally, letting everyone to have their dream belongings, helping everyone to receive salaries, etc. These are a few significant benefits and real-life examples of what banks provide to the mass population on a daily basis. We recognise the importance of this and at the same time we understand the issues banks have created globally through greed, lack of transparency and complacency.

In order for the market to mature and to increase mass adoption we need to promote freedom and autonomy over people’s own finances. The solution is not to abolish banks, or financial institutions or to overthrow them with the rise of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, but the solution is to merge and marry the benefits from both of these powerful worlds.

We feel there is a strong need for an all-inclusive, end-to-end banking and cryptocurrency solution. Not only will HubrisOne open more doors for cryptocurrency adoption, HubrisOne will allow users and investors to use one solution for all of their banking needs, today and more importantly, in the future. This is banking for the cryptocurrency generation.

It’s about time we move this industry into the future and whilst we’re doing this, HubrisOne is bringing banking into the digital age, and we’ve future-proofed it with the integration of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

The above key pain points is our main focus, including cryptocurrency integration. We see a spectrum wide problem with banking today and this is where we believe the opportunity is. We want to incorporate a customer centric, innovative and trustworthy application that welcomes your feedback.

Regulatory Compliance & Company Jurisdiction

We are legally registered with companies’ house in the UK company number: 11529615.

Our choice for registration within the United Kingdom was a careful strategic decision which we took after careful consideration, the reasons and rationale for this choice are as follows:

Firstly, the UK alongside the United States has the most advanced, innovative and established global banking infrastructure in the world.
Secondly, the UK government is very open-minded with respect to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.
Thirdly, the United Kingdom has great protectionism over banks, financial institutions which favour the customers, this means our customers funds will be protected under the FCSC scheme (FSCS, 2018).
Lastly, the United Kingdom along with other EU countries are supporters of digital banking innovation and disruption hence the introduction of the electronic money licence regulation (2011), which we will be leveraging through our card partner upon launch (Europa).

The above decisions were considered, among others, when deciding where to register and create our company. HubrisOne is a trading name of HubrisOne Technologies Ltd.

HubrisOne will be authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) through our UK card issuer as an authorized agent, under the e-money institution license. Thereby granting access HubrisOne EEA passporting permissions to all 31 EU countries in the EU. The introduction of the e-money license and the regulation is to allow and spur innovation in a safe and controlled way.

The Electronic money (e-money) is a digital alternative to cash. It allows users to make cashless payments with money stored on a card or a phone, or over the internet. The reasons this license was introduced is primarily for such services such as HubrisOne and many others to flourish and capture market share from traditional banking operators. EU rules on e-money aim to:

facilitate the emergence of new, innovative and secure e-money services
provide new companies with access to the e-money market
