Novi is the new name and brand for the digital wallet that will help people send and hold Libra digital currencies.

„While we’ve changed our name from Calibra, we haven’t changed our long-term commitment to helping people around the world access affordable financial services. Whether you’re sending money home to support the family members who supported you, or you’re receiving money from your friends no matter where they are, the Novi wallet will make money work better for everyone.

Novi was inspired by the Latin words “novus” for “new” and “via” for “way.” It’s a new way to send money, and Novi’s new visual identity and design represent the fluid movement of digital currencies. We’ve also included a nod to the Libra icon in the brand logo to underscore our commitment to the Libra network”, declared David Marcus, Head of Novi.

With Novi, sending money will be as easy as sending a message. Novi will be available to be used as a stand-alone app, as well as in Messenger and WhatsApp. According to the official press release, there will be no hidden charges to add, send, receive or withdraw money and transfers will arrive instantly. All Novi customers will be verified using government-issued ID, and fraud protections will be built in throughout the app. And, whenever needed, 24/7 access to chat-based support and customer care team will be available.

„Our hope is to introduce an early version of Novi when the Libra network is available. We’ll roll it out in an initial set of countries, with features that will make cross-border money transfers instant, secure, and with no hidden fees. If you’d like to be one of the first to know when Novi becomes available in your country, sign up for updates at Novi.com„, declared David Marcus, Head of Novi.
