In crypto-banking industry, Datarius wants to become the first financial institution capable of offering its customers a full range of financial services implemented within a decentralized system. Datarius will operate on the basis of peer-to-peer (P2P) ecosystem, where transaction participants are private users and not banking institutions.

The customer selects a service according to his/her own requirements and pays the price without customer service charge. They also plan to issue a cryptocurrency card that will operate within the system and in partnership with other companies’ systems. Customers can use the card to pay for goods and services and make purchases on sites that accept bank cards as a payment method. It will be possible to withdraw and deposit cash at partner’s ATMs.
