Vision & Mission
Sustainable Development Goal 10
SDG 10 is to “reduce inequality within and among countries”; ARYZE is building the tools to do so, creating a financial ecosystem that reduces international money transfer costs enough to allow 100% of remittance money to make it back to developing countries.
Financial Inclusion
Asian SME´s have countless issues getting a bank loan. This is a problem when they account for 99.6 % of the entire industry in Asia.
Adults Unbanked
31% of the world’s adult population remains unbanked. Without access to basic financial services, it is nearly impossible for that population to rise out of poverty.
Financial Inclusion
Conforming to the 2017 Global Findex data, 65% of women worldwide have a financial account, compared to 72% of men. Hereby, another relevant indicator is that over 70% of women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have inadequate or no access to financial services.
A survey performed by the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), half of the Philippines’ population does not make enough money to be included in the financial system. SMEs, in general, have issues borrowing money in some parts of Asia, and there is an information asymmetry gap, which results in higher due diligence costs, perception of risks, and higher interest rates to SMEs.
The World Bank established a connection between reducing poverty and inequality with providing access to financial services. It is a huge problem that micro, small, and medium-sized businesses do not have access to financial services given that they account for 99.6% of this region’s industries, according to the ADBI surveys.
