If anyone is going to introduce a properly operational and, most importantly, popular banking ecosystem built on blockchain, that certainly won't be UCBI. This company is just too unprepared, underfunded, and understaffed. Plus, they are going to be eaten alive by the regulators in any jurisdiction other than their current one. Establishing a banking network requires organization, planning, connections with regulators, and the understanding of the current needs of both banked and unbanked people. UCBI appears to be missing most of that at the present stage of development.
The creation of a global cryptocurrency bank is one of the most important destinations for many projects in this space, because without it, the crypto would remain largely a means for tax evasion and money laundering. With all due respect to UCBI Banking, I can see that these people have put tremendous effort into bringing their ideas into light, I don't see them arriving at that destination, because they are still at the stage of concept development and presentation while others already have the fully (or at least partially) functioning ecosystems.
The idea of creating a blockchain-based banking system has been circling around for years, but not a single project seems to have made any significant progress in this regard. UCBI seem to have a viable idea, and they have proven it by hitting the softcap. But, once again, it is a very tough space they are about to enter, with plenty of regulatory troubles, so you would have to be 100% sure in this project to invest even 300 EUR.
