On a mission to use the power of blockchain technology to radically transform financial service: Figure

Blockchain technology has shown its ability to revolutionize different industries, even in its infancy. The features of decentralization, transparency, and immutability are appealing for business sectors all over the world, but the industry leading the way in implementation is finance. Blockchain technology is a decentralized, distributed, and public ledger that can be used to record transactions across many computers within a network. Because of its design and properties, blockchain is secure, transparent, and nearly impossible to alter. In the finance industry, this underlying technology allows the transfer of currency with confidence that the transaction is secure and reliable. Transferring money to other countries presents many problems and challenges for consumers and financial institutions. People can send billions of dollars internationally each year, and the process is usually expensive, laborious, and error prone. Blockchain can change all that. Many major banks have adopted international payments with blockchain technology, which saves time and money. Consumers can also use blockchain money transfers to complete electronic transfers with mobile devices, avoiding the cumbersome process of visiting a money transfer facility, standing in line, and paying fees for a transaction.

Figure is transforming the trillion-dollar financial services industry using blockchain technology. In three short years, Figure has unveiled a series of fintech firsts using the Provenance Blockchain for loan origination, equity management, private fund services, banking, and payments sectors - bringing speed, efficiency, and savings to both consumers and institutions. Today, Figure is one of less than a thousand companies considered a unicorn, globally.
