We are happy to share that Littio is live!\\\n\\\n🚀 [Littio](https://www.littio.co/) is a **dollar bank** tailored made for people in Latin America to fight devaluation. \n\n**Why we started this**\n\n300 million people in Latin America have no way of accessing basic financial services in U.S. dollars. We are financially cut off from the world. Access to dollar financial products is limited to the richest 1% and only them can effectively protect their money from hyper-devaluation.  \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=68339\u0026key=user_uploads/201195/800b4078-18be-4a6b-83ec-f9be1565d897)\n\nHaving lived this problem first hand for years, we want to fundamentally change the dynamics.
