The Fintech Guardians of the Galaxy

We were always searching for a family, until we found each other

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is an expansion of the Marvel Universe into the cosmos, where our protagonist Peter Quill joins forces with unlikely intergalactic characters to stop villains from purging the galaxy. In Vol. 2 we see Peter, and his newfound family of misfits, fighting to save the galaxy (again) as they traverse the cosmos. Now, presented with the third volume of the trilogy we see the team come together in solidarity to support their furry fury – Rocket. Each of the characters who formed the team of intergalactic heroes brought unique skills, and their *extra* unique personalities, to help protect each other and communities across the galaxy. Well, of course, our Unlimit team couldn’t help but find the correlations between our products and some of Marvel’s most favoured characters.

Firstly, you may be unsure of how we even came to find the correlations, which is a worthy consideration. The answer is simple – we’re quirky, intelligent, industry experts and lovers of all forms of creativity! At Unlimit, our large inhouse infrastructure is focused on serving our customers and protecting them, whilst also freeing them from constraints from dated processes.

Let’s begin with the most obvious and prolific character, Star-Lord. The greatness we see in Star-Lord is his ability to embrace whatever situation he is in, and that is the same ethos we run on as a fintech provider! The world is ever changing, and just like the Guardians, Unlimit continually adapts to new trends and dynamics of the fintech world, ensuring its products reflect the evolving needs of online businesses.  Additionally, the level of connectivity and global reach that we operate on, is similar to the Guardians who travel at a galactic scale to connect with a range of worlds and civilisations. As the fintech guardians, our global outreach supports online businesses on a mission to engage with new civilisations and regions, giving them the tools to expand their operations and seamlessly enter new markets with simplified cross-border transactions.

Acquiring

Gamora, the powerful and fierce warrior of the group , is one of the leading female characters in the series. Her strength and resilience remind us of our acquiring solution,  which allows our clients to overcome the obstacles of reaching customers all over the world with ease and supports them on their expansion journey. Whether it’s through our portfolio of 1000+ directly integrated payment methods, wide coverage and high approval ratios via all major card brands, or additional payments functionalities like instalments, our acquiring solution empowers businesses to transcend barriers and provides them with a strong shoulder to lean on.

Our leading lady is recognised as a focused, honourable and serious character of the group, fuelled by the misfortunes she has witnessed during her time with her adopted father. Similar to our card acquiring solution, the technology is focused on reducing the sticky points for merchants who are trying to optimise their business’ payments. In our years of experience as a fintech provider, we’ve heard the misfortunes, gripes and complexities for merchants and retailers; which drove the development of our card acquiring service. The benefits greatly support the drive for cost savings, improved cash flow and heightened customer experience. Much like Gamora’s strategy for reaching each of her ‘targets’, our acquiring product allows merchants to successfully reach markets and audiences internationally (or should we say intergalactically), by processing payments and offering customers alternative payment methods to optimise the purchasing channel.

Unlimit Crypto

Our furry little friend, Rocket, is known for his bounty hunting and mercenary skills. His abilities arose after he was altered cybernetically, and enhanced to speak. As a result of his biological experimentation, Rocket exists as a total technological genius and can make something from anything. Perhaps you can see where this is going, but let’s break it down anyway! Our Unlimit crypto product is the next generation fiat onramp and offramp solution, designed for DeFi, GameFi and NFTs.  In essence, it’s a bit like the scenes in which we see Rocket grapple at older items and with some quick wizardry, he produces a new tool that is needed at hand in the moment. Users are able to connect with Unlimit Crypto to go from crypto to fiat, and back, in the same way that Rocket converts machinery into the right weapon for the battle at hand.

Rocket’s knowledge acts as the solution to bridging the gap between his teams’ knowledge and capacity as they travel across the galaxy and have to adapt themselves to their surroundings; and similarly Unlimit crypto is a faster and more secure bridge between alternative networks and traditional payment networks whilst mitigating the need for multiple third parties and complex barriers. We can see the resemblance in how Rocket is the facilitator of transitions, giving the rest of the guardians the tools to navigate through different worlds and challenges. Similarly on/offramp services help users transition between fiat and cryptocurrencies through a user-friendly platform, with transparent exchange rates, secure transactions and fast settlement times.

Unlimit’s crypto product is progressive technology that empowers people to make a difference within their businesses, in a similar way to which the Guardians of the Galaxy empower individuals across the galaxy by offering them salvation and protection. And whilst viewers may not have always understood Rocket’s process, there was always a method to his madness and THAT is something we can relate to! Our customers can focus on building a product their users love, because Unlimit Crypto handles all the hassle of compliance, regulation, and risk with a simple integration.

Banking-as-a-Service

Finally, let’s have a look at Mantis, a celestial hybrid empath with the ability to sense other people’s feelings and alter them. Filled with emotion felt by others and the power to alter those feelings, she reminds us of the power of fintech and altering business experience to create more positive emotions and seamless experiences. Mantis can replicate the emotions that others feel in order to connect with them, while our BaaS product uses our super technology to alter feelings by providing merchants with a solution that resolves their issues and leaves them feeling empowered! Unlimit BaaS is a product of the friction points we’ve heard from clients as they have managed their businesses through the sluggishness of legacy banks and financial institutions, including customer service, time constraints in moving funds, rigid processes and limited scalability. Our modular and scalable solution  and adherence to compliance and regulations means that our clients  can rest assured in our product that it’s reliable enough to rest peacefully knowing we’re handling the tough stuff; much like when Mantis would use her sleep inducement powers to help Ego.

Continuing with her ability to replicate and alter people’s minds, our white label products contain their own power, offering a strong impression of a brand through visual impact. Our clients have seen the visual impact of branded physical and virtual cards, offering a strong sense of brand identity. For us, Mantis exists as a symbol of flexibility and versatility – using her powers at an intergalactic scale to benefit the other guardians and save civilisations. Well, not to toot our own horn, but our banking-as-a-service product can be used to enter and launch financial products to new markets quickly and engage with new potential customers (or should we say, civilisations). Our clients know as well as we do, the strengths of having a customisable product, and that’s why our suite of products are stackable to fit the shape and vision of your business so that you can optimise engagement with your customers, with a sense of security from the backing of our fintech guardians.

If you’re looking to take your business to the next level and want a fintech provider who helps you to go beyond borders, you can contact us here to begin your journey across the fintech galaxy. We can’t promise to have antennas, blue skin or robotic powers, but we offer expertise at a local level, on a global scale. And you can turn to our fintech guardians to leverage our intergalactic knowledge, bringing you a suite of products, catering to a myriad of currencies with no intermediaries. All heroes start somewhere, but real heroes start with Unlimit.
