A lot of big words, one simple idea
We believe that we can help create a more sustainable and inclusive society. That, is the simple idea. But getting there is not so simple: we need social and economic development (here come the big words). This is where access to financial services – like simple transaction accounts – comes in. It is a small, but important step towards economic and social development.
Being sustainable means considering the needs of future generations while making sure we thrive in the present.
How access to financial services helps create a fairer, more sustainable society
Firstly, sustainability is a complex concept. Many of us associate it with being environmentally–friendly – and rightly so. Caring for our planet is but one of three goals of sustainability. The other two are economic and social development.
Simply put, economic development means that people have better employment opportunities and the overall living conditions are improving. Social development is related to better education, health services, housing and others.
Access to affordable and appropriate financial services drives economic and social development.
Without access to financial services, it is hard to do many of the everyday things we take for granted: being paid a salary, paying doctor's fees, paying for education, having a safe place to store and save your money. It leaves people isolated from the rest of society and unable to reach their full potential.
We believe no one should be left behind. Continue reading to learn about our initiatives.
Our future goals: building sustainable digital products
What does sustainability have to do with the apps on our phones? A lot. But it is a fair question. Digital products, especially the ones we use daily, shape our behaviour. And our behaviour impacts the world we live in. That is why we are working towards exploring how sustainability can be built into our products, services and processes. We still have a long way to go, but we'll get there.
Here is how we do it – with your help
