We design financial services specifically for women and support the growth of women-led businesses.

Around the world, women are more likely than men to be excluded from the formal financial system, according to the World Bank. They earn and own less than men, making it much more difficult to control their finances, apply for a loan, open a business, get a job, and much more. By designing financial services specifically for women and women-led businesses, we’re helping to close gaps in access and usage and benefiting families, communities, and the economy.
