An application aimed at connecting unbanked individuals with finance professionals, for the unbanked individuals to seek professional help on their journey to becoming more financially-savvy.
- They will first have to login or sign up for an account.
- They will be redirected to the home page after logging in / signing up. We used simple words and emphasized buttons in the centre for easier usage - especially if our target audience may be less educated.
-
They will be connected with financial professionals that will create a chatroom via the backend API.
-
Backend api requires both the userId of the professional and the user in the body.
-
They can also remit money via the application. (Intention is to use 3rd party remittance applications via their APIs)
