Bankii Welcomes Ayobami-Akanbi Fareed as Head of Operations & Strategy

A New Chapter for Bankii

We are proud to announce that Ayobami-Akanbi Fareed has been appointed as our Head of Operations & Strategy. Fareed is a veteran of Africa’s crypto and fintech scene, known for his visionary approach to marketing, education, and user growth in the emerging markets. His arrival comes at a pivotal moment as Bankii accelerates its mission to empower financial inclusion in Africa through blockchain-powered solutions. With Fareed on board, we are confident in taking the next steps toward our bold vision.

A Journey Through Web3 and Fintech

Fareed’s career is a testament to his passion for the Web3 ecosystem. Early on, he joined FTX Africa’s expansion team, focusing on content and community initiatives. In that role, he helped educate and onboard users across the continent , from university students in Nigeria to crypto communities in Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. FTX was instrumental in Africa’s crypto boom, processing billions of dollars in local transactions each month and Fareed played a key part in making that platform accessible to new users.

In addition to his startup work, Fareed has been active in Web3 media. He has authored Hundreds of articles for crypto publications and collaborated with web3 media platforms helping to deliver unbiased blockchain news and education. His articles on topics like African crypto regulations have earned him a reputation as a clear, insightful communicator. In every role, Fareed has demonstrated exceptional content strategy and go-to-market skills.

Importantly, Fareed has also contributed directly to Bankii’s journey. Prior to this promotion, he served as Bankii’s Content and Communication Manager, aligning our messaging with the needs of African users. This insider perspective on Bankii’s platform and mission means he can hit the ground running in his new leadership role.

Why We’re Excited

We’re thrilled to have Fareed helm our operations and strategy because his experience matches Bankii’s ambitions perfectly. Bankii’s founding mission is to solve financial inclusion and cross-border payment challenges in emerging markets through blockchain. Fareed’s deep knowledge of these markets and proven track record will help accelerate our growth. He understands firsthand why Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans and South Africans are adopting crypto – often due to high inflation and limited banking access, and he knows how to communicate solutions effectively in these contexts.

Fareed will be instrumental in refining Bankii’s go-to-market strategy. His expertise in content and campaign execution means Bankii’s messaging will be sharper and our user education even stronger. 

Together with the Bankii team, he plans to leverage partnerships and local insights to build brand trust and user bases in target markets like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa. His appointment also signals Bankii’s commitment to Web3 leadership, blending visionary crypto strategy with real-world fintech usability.

Scaling Bankii’s Vision

Looking ahead, Fareed is focused on expanding Bankii’s footprint across Africa and beyond. He shares our vision of bringing more people into the digital economy. This means not only growing our user base, but also educating communities about decentralized finance (DeFi) and how it can preserve wealth and facilitate affordable remittances. By customizing Bankii’s offerings to local needs, he aims to make our hybrid finance solutions as impactful as possible.

Bankii’s strategy is to roll out products like the Bankii Card and digital asset services in markets with rapid crypto adoption. Under Fareed’s leadership, we will continue to innovate, enhancing the Bankii app, launching new features, and strengthening partnerships , so that anyone, anywhere can manage and grow their money safely and seamlessly. His forward-thinking approach to operations and strategy will be key to scaling those efforts.

Looking Ahead

As Fareed steps into his new role, Bankii is more energized than ever. His arrival marks the beginning of an exciting chapter. Together, we look forward to breaking new ground in crypto financial inclusion across emerging markets

Today, we’re thrilled to share exciting updates about our much-anticipated Bankii Token ($BKNY) launch.

Here’s why—and why this timing ensures $BKNY becomes a cornerstone of Africa’s financial revolution.


What is Bankii Token ($BKNY)?

$BNKY is more than just a token; it’s the lifeblood of the Bankii ecosystem. Rooted in transparency, accessibility, and innovation, $BKNY will empower users across Africa and beyond to unlock unique financial opportunities, including:

  • Rewards and Incentives: Access exclusive benefits within the Bankii platform, such as cashback programs, loyalty rewards, and discounts on services.

Why Are We Delaying the Launch?

We understand the anticipation surrounding $BKNY and the eagerness of our community to participate in its public launch. However, at Bankii, we prioritize value over haste and believe in delivering more than just promises—we deliver impact. Here’s why we’ve decided to push the launch to Q1 2025:

3. Setting Up for Success

A rushed launch might generate short-term excitement but can lead to long-term challenges. By aligning the $BKNY launch with the release of our web app, we’re ensuring a cohesive experience where every part of the ecosystem supports and enhances the other.

At Bankii, we believe in the power of community and collaboration to shape Africa’s financial future. Over the past two weeks, the Bankii Hive Referral Campaign created an electrifying buzz, bringing together a vibrant mix of crypto enthusiasts, innovators, and dreamers from across the continent and beyond. Today, we’re excited to share the results, celebrate our winners, and reflect on this milestone in our journey.


The Campaign That Made Waves

The Bankii Hive Referral Campaign aimed to grow our Telegram community while rewarding participants for their enthusiasm and efforts. Starting with just 1,200 members, our community has now soared past 4,000 members—a testament to the passion and belief people have in Bankii’s mission to redefine financial access for Africa.

We saw participants actively engaging, spreading the word, and bringing their networks on board. Together, we achieved something incredible, and this growth lays a solid foundation for the future.

🏅 Winners are kindly requested to send their shipping addresses to @Web3Legend_1 to claim their prizes.


Ensuring Fairness and Integrity

While the campaign was an overwhelming success, maintaining fairness was crucial. Unfortunately, some participants were disqualified for violating the campaign rules. Disqualifications were based on:

  • Unnatural Invite Patterns: Excessive or rapid invites within seconds indicated automated or non-genuine activity.
  • Misrepresentation: Non-genuine influencer collaborations or fake endorsements.
  • CAPTCHA Failures: Failing verification checks during the onboarding process.
  • Lack of Engagement: Invited members who did not participate in group discussions or left shortly after joining.

The Disqualification Process

Unnatural Invite Patterns

Invites coming in large bursts within seconds strongly indicated automated tools or purchased referrals. For example, one of the top paticipant exhibited patterns where referrals surged unnaturally, suggesting bulk actions rather than genuine outreach. Also, this participants “bought invites” Such behavior went against the campaign’s principles of organic and authentic community growth.

Misrepresentation and Misuse of Endorsements

While the Bankii Hive Campaign was promoted by our official ambassador, some participants misrepresented their collaborations or used improper methods to amplify their efforts.

Specifically:

  • Two top participants claimed their referrals came through posts made by the ambassador. While the ambassador is officially associated with Bankii, further investigation revealed issues:
    • The referred audience from these posts showed unnatural engagement patterns, such as thousands of views paired with little to no activity on the group indicating bot activity.
    • Many of these referrals failed the CAPTCHA checks upon joining the Telegram group, leading to automatic removal or muting.
    • This misuse reflected poorly on the spirit of collaboration and fairness, as the campaign rules emphasized authentic efforts to grow the community.

CAPTCHA Failures

To maintain group integrity, a CAPTCHA system was in place to filter out bots and ensure only real users could join. A large portion of referrals tied to disqualified participants failed this verification, confirming the use of automated or non-human invites.

Lack of Engagement

Bankii values an active and thriving community. Some participants invited members who joined the group but did not engage meaningfully. Others left shortly after joining, highlighting a lack of genuine interest. Referrals were only counted if the referred members participated in discussions or reacted to posts, ensuring quality over quantity.


Why Disqualification Was Necessary

Bankii’s mission is to build a community rooted in trust, authenticity, and shared values. Allowing fraudulent or manipulative actions to go unchecked would:

  • Undermine the credibility of the campaign.
  • Dilute the quality of our growing Hive.
  • Be unfair to participants who worked hard to bring in genuine members.

By enforcing the rules, we ensured that the rewards went to deserving participants who contributed meaningfully to our community.


Key Lessons from the Campaign

  1. Authenticity is Key: Genuine referrals and honest collaborations drive real growth and engagement.
  2. Clear Guidelines Work: The rules around CAPTCHA, engagement, and fair play helped maintain integrity.
  3. Growth Must Be Meaningful: Numbers alone don’t matter—what counts is the quality of the connections we build.

A Message to Participants

  • To Our Winners: Congratulations on your well-earned rewards! Your dedication and genuine efforts helped make this campaign a success.
  • To Those Disqualified: While we appreciate your interest and participation, disqualifications were necessary to ensure fairness. We encourage you to participate in future campaigns with the same enthusiasm, while adhering to the rules.

Looking Ahead

The Bankii Hive is stronger than ever, with our community growing from 1,200 to over 4,000 members during this campaign. This milestone is only the beginning of what we’ll achieve together.

More campaigns, rewards, and opportunities to connect are on the horizon. Let’s continue building with integrity and enthusiasm. Together, we’re shaping Africa’s financial future.

Stay buzzing! 🐝

We appreciate the enthusiasm shown by all participants but had to take these measures to ensure fairness and the integrity of the campaign.
