The FinTech Impact Report: Working through the world’s to-do list #FinTechforImpact Thank you to our FinTech ecosystem A word from some of our featured FinTechs “When it comes to financial inclusion, it’s all about enhancing financial education for kids, ensuring they have access to this from a young age in a way that is relevant and accessible to them. At GoHenry, financial education has always been our number one priority because we think it’s an essential life skill that young people should receive expert training on before they reach adulthood. We use interactive and gamified lessons, called Money Missions, to make financial education a fun experience for all ages. This is done in a way that doesn’t feel like traditional learning; through quizzes, chatbots, and bite-size videos. Outside of our product, we are also campaigning for a financial education programme to be prioritised in all schools because we believe it could benefit each and every young person in this country.” Louise Hill, CEO and Co-Founder at GoHenry “Wise’s mission is to make moving and managing money internationally fast, convenient, transparent, and eventually free. We set out to bring down the speed and cost of international payments, and empower millions of people and businesses worldwide with better financial solutions. Last year alone, Wise saved our 16 million personal and business customers £1.5bn in fees on their cross-border payments. Rather than catching customers out with hidden fees and markups, Wise has increased access to financial services by offering a simple, affordable, and transparent solution for moving money across borders. We remain unwavering in our commitment to advancing a world where everyone can access fair and transparent financial services.” Nilan Peiris, Chief Product Officer, at Wise 61
