Bringing Banking Access to the 60% Unbanked Mexicans | Iliana de Silva, CEO & Co-Founder at Techreo

Purpose Driven FinTech

Financial Inclusion means reaching out to customers who are by definition not very digital savvy, so how do we do it in the age of digital banks? … A hybrid partnership approach seems to work as a solution!

In today’s episode Iliana de Silva, CEO and Co-Founder at Techreo brings her perspectives on financial inclusion, financial wellbeing, and how Techreo is actually reaching the unbanked in Mexico with a Bank Partnership model. 60% of Mexicans do not have access to a bank account, and social media and referral rewards won’t be enough to include them, we need a different approach and Iliana and the Techreo team bring a sustainable solution!
