Xend Finance: How to use, save and invest

Xend Finance is a blockchain banking application that allows users to save in stable currencies (USD) and earn high interest of up to 15% per year. In this post, you will learn how to use Xend Finance, how to create an account, how to deposit, how to invest, and many more.

What is Xend Finance, and how does it work?

Backed by Google Launchpad and Binance, Xend Finance is the first blockchain banking application in Africa. It uses decentralized finance (DeFi) to solve currency devaluation.

It is a secure savings platform where users can also buy, sell and deposit cryptocurrencies and then safely store them in their Xend Finance crypto wallet. Users can get up to 15% return on their savings.

You will want to pay attention. Here’s how Xend Finance works.

1. Are you an individual user, cooperative, or Credit Union? You can set your saving targets and save towards achieving them.

2. Stake your money on DeFi networks. Xend Finance will convert your savings to a stable currency and lend it out to other companies.

This is done to make sure that Xend Finance users earn a considerable amount of interest in their earnings, which is usually up to 15%.

3. At the end of the day, you will earn interest in your savings. Xend Finance will add that interest with the amount of cryptocurrency you staked.

Your cryptocurrency will be available for withdrawal.

Is it safe to use Xend Finance?

Yes, it is. Xend Finance was brought into existence through the Google Launchpad Africa Accelerator and the Binance Incubation Programme.

Xend Finance is in sync with the Binance technology ecosystem, with its DeFi products built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
