Our proposed solution is built on insights from existing research and market observations that highlight the critical challenges faced by underserved communities in accessing financial services. Studies reveal that high transaction fees and hidden charges deter low-income populations from using digital financial platforms, pushing them back to cash dependency. Reports from financial inclusion initiatives also emphasize the need for localized support networks and financial literacy programs to empower these communities.

Our pilot research with small retailers demonstrated the effectiveness of direct company-retailer connections, resulting in increased trust, better service delivery, and improved financial outcomes. Furthermore, industry data supports the correlation between reduced costs, enhanced support, and greater adoption of financial tools among economically disadvantaged groups. This evidence validates our approach, showing that affordable, transparent, and customer-focused solutions can drive significant developmental impact.

Our proposed activities include stakeholder consultations, randomized control trials, and real-time data collection to test assumptions and generate robust evidence. By building upon existing research, we will document and share findings to contribute to the broader evidence base of financial inclusion and innovation.

Our ability to provide affordable, transparent services while maintaining high customer satisfaction makes our innovation both impactful and cost-efficient compared to alternatives in the market.
