L-IFT has years of experience in financial diaries research. The research participants so much enjoyed the process of the research that we developed an app through which they could continue reporting their diaries. The app enables us to serve participants in a number of ways including showing them an overview of their finances, making suggestions to improve their financial management. The track-record can serve them to build credit-worthiness and access loans. Likewise it will help users to convince employers about their experience and their attitude.
The app is beyond the trial phase. While updates and improvements continue to take place weekly, for more than 500 users in 5 countries the app is performing and serving its purpose.
L-IFT has already its first paying organisational client. Next step is selling to at least 10 organisations (international NGOs, MFIs, UN organisations or government institutions).
