At Raenest Exchange, the company's annual community event held in Lagos on October 21, Raenest unveiled stablecoin payments, cryptocurrency deposits, multiple virtual card options, physical cards, and savings vaults.\n\nThe stablecoin payments and cryptocurrency deposits feature allow users to receive, save, and spend money across different currencies from a single account. The savings vaults offer interest rates ranging from 7% annually for dollar and stablecoin balances to 16% for naira balances. Additionally, the company introduced two new virtual card variants, a prepaid card and a standard card, along with a physical card for online and in-store purchases, POS payments, and ATM withdrawals.\n\nRaenest's founder and Senior Product Manager, Majemu Olowodola, emphasized the importance of providing a seamless experience for users by managing their money from the moment they receive it.
