Pixpay - Nurturing Financial Savvy for the Next Gen
Pixpay, a neobank designed for teens, empowers parents to transfer pocket money regularly while equipping the younger generation with vital budget management skills. Teens get a payment card and user-friendly app that breaks down spending habits, encourages careful allocation of funds for necessities and pleasures, and showcases saving techniques—even with automated methods. "The vision is to let them track their spending patterns, learn about balancing essential and discretionary expenses, and save effectively," shares co-founder Caroline Ménager. The app further has features such as setting an educational interest rate dictated by parents as a motivator for saving.
Les Premières de Guyane - Empowering Women Entrepreneurs
Since 2013, Les Premières de Guyane has been a driving force supporting women in starting businesses by emphasizing the central role of financial education. Their holistic approach covers drafting the business model, business plan, and legal structure for future companies, as well as personal financial guidance. "Our focus is on nurturing financial experts, who can manage their own wealth, en route to creating successful businesses that last. It's essential to understand the relevant financial jargon for collaborating effectively with banks," says Amélie Riga, an expert within the structure. In the last decade, more than 700 women have benefited from guidance through the program, leading to the formation of over 200 companies in Guyane.
