South African Fintech Startup FinMeUp Partners Consulting Firm to Launch Digital Financial Consumer Education Solution
FinMeUp, a South African fintech company that assists clients in investing in themselves and their financial future, has partnered with a consulting firm Decusatio Human Capital Solutions, to launch a digital financial consumer education solution that allows organizations of different sizes to onboard staff and benefits.
This partnership is part of FinMeUp B-BBEE and human capital development strategies which are aimed towards the improvement of financial literacy.
Speaking on the partnership with Decusatio Human Capital Solutions, CEO of FinMeUp Higgo Van Biljon said,
“We are excited by this partnership and look forward to working with the Decusatio team to deliver high-quality financial education and help ordinary South Africans make smarter financial decisions”.
Also commenting on the partnership, Decusatio CEO Marc Ashton said,
“Having covered financial markets for nearly 20 years, the subject of financial literacy is something I am very passionate about and the fact that we have been able to find a scalable and innovative partner for this project is incredibly rewarding”.
Reports reveal that in South Africa, less than 40 percent of citizens have a formal retirement plan, which implies that over half of the adult population in the country lacks a basic understanding of financial concepts, highlighting the crucial need for financial education and literacy.
Therefore, FinMeUp’s partnership with Decusatio Human Capital Solutions will provide individuals with information and tools to enhance their financial literacy, helping them to make informed decisions about personal finance.
Founded in 2020, FinMeUp offers a comprehensive range of solutions including an education platform, investments, insurance, credit solutions, and financial advisory.
As a community-based platform, the startup believes that everyone has the potential to achieve financial freedom, as it is dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment where individuals can learn, engage, and grow together.
