Company Summary
We offer a methodology where anyone can create a small bank with FB friends, just as traditional village banking. Everyone in the group will be able to save and borrow from that fund in a easy, fast and social way. In the short term, our customers will be students, migrant communities, religious groups and small entrepreneurs. In the middle terms, our customers will be any US citizens that use credit cards and have access to technology.
