Xelio is pioneering an interesting approach to neobanking by building a platform accessible through SMS and WhatsApp—bypassing the need for smartphones altogether. This opens up banking services to a much broader audience, particularly in regions with limited smartphone penetration. By leveraging existing communication channels rather than requiring app downloads, the project demonstrates how Web3 solutions can expand financial inclusion through practical, low-barrier infrastructure.

Using SMS and WhatsApp for banking? That's a brilliant idea, really treating the elderly and people in mountainous areas like gods haha

SMS and WhatsApp banking is truly awesome. This is real inclusivity, not about whether those apps are downloaded or not.
