Social Impact: Financial Access for the Unbankable
Most goods are created by millions living in poverty around the world. BankQu uses its blockchain technology to empower those who are unable to prove their identity and economic participation. Through implementation with corporations to record all impoverished farmers or workers that are contributing crops, raw materials and services to their supply chain, it enables these farmers and workers to have financial identity and viability.
BankQu is an award-winning, social impact enterprise that is providing the invisible poor with digital identities and transaction history. It is the winner of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2019 and Fast Company's 2019 World Changing Ideas Awards in the Developing World Technology. Ashish Gadnis has been recognized as MIT Innovate for Refugees Award, Young Global Leader (World Economic Forum), Change-Makers Innovator Award and Battery Ventures Innovation Award. BankQu has been featured in leading media outlets including Forbes, Wall Street Journal and Wired.
