modernize how people transact. Pending to see Clinkle achieves its dream, to roll out its platform across US universities before expanding, the Virgin Founder said that there’s a lot of room to make a difference in alternative payment methods, and praised the vision of Clinkle CEO Lucas Duplan.

"I was excited that someone as bright and promising as Lucas has chosen to tackle it. I’m a believer in dreaming big (actually I’m at a Virgin Galactic gathering right now surrounded by 400 people with tickets to space and 260 people who are building the spaceships to take us there!), and Lucas has big ideas around eliminating the need for cash. I’m also a believer in simplicity, and Clinkle is going to make payments to friends, businesses, anybody very simple." Said Richard Branson
