Impact on the Poor
I hope that my contributions to the self-service app, and eventually to the mobile wallet app, will help financially empower the users of these products by improving their experience in working with financial institutions, make them more aware of various financial products at their disposal for various needs, help them make better economic choices, and manage their finances in a way that improves all facets of their lives.
