How might we ensure low-income people who mainly live in a cash economy have positive financial health for life?
92% of low-income households state that financial stability is more valuable to them than higher income. Hundreds of millions of households manage their credit through savings pools. These, however, are inflexible and disconnected from the formal economy.
We propose a flexible, formalised savings pool model that builds credit history and generates interest income for the users that is personalised not generic, and fun rather than stressful.
