We Believe in a Connected
Digital Economy for All
We’re a team of developers and financial experts who believe digital payments have the potential to create a more just and equal economy – for all.
Today over 1.7 billion people remain unbanked globally. That means 31% of the world population has no access to a bank account or proper payment services to exchange money. For too many, today’s financial system works like pre-internet telecom networks.
The outcome of this is that people with less end up paying more for basic access to financial services. Over time, hard-earned income is eroded by fees, from remittances and wire costs to overdraft and ATM charges. First is here to help change all that.
