Hey all,
Since 2017, we've been transforming the financial landscape, using education and open data to make financial health accessible to everyone. We're tackling this challenge with passion and the support of incredible partners. With work used and recognized by organizations like the WHO, World Bank, IMF, Google, and Harvard, FinMango's global initiatives have already impacted millions across 100+ countries, and we're just getting started!
