Spanish and English Personal Finance Platform to Provide Tools and Information for Financial Literacy
Crediverso is the first online financial products marketplace built for the US Latino audience. Crediverso’s mission is to provide access to financial products and financial information to Latinos living in the US. Bridging the cultural gap where US banking institutions have fallen short, Crediverso addresses the needs of Spanish speaking communities as the only financial services platform completely available in both Spanish and English, with culturally relevant content and tools specifically designed for the Latino community.
Latinos represent 20% of the US population yet US banking institutions have been unsuccessful in addressing this growing market. “Although US Latinos spend billions of dollars on financial products every year, financial institutions and service providers are not effectively marketing to this segment of the population, and they remain dramatically underbanked as compared to the general market,” says Founder and CEO Carlos Hernandez. The three-time Harvard graduate who holds a BA, JD and MBA explained, “There are 61 million Latinos in the US, yet most banking establishments fail to provide fully bilingual sites and lack understanding about the distinction between different Spanish speaking ethnic groups. Furthermore, many of the largest companies in the country spend less than 1% of their marketing budget on reaching Latinos. These practices lead to poor access and information. Our goal is to change that.”
The Spanish and English digital platform provides consumer access to free, relevant, and unbiased content, including comparison tools, credit resources, and vital information for making smarter and more informed personal finance decisions. Crediverso will allow users to save time and effort on research as it has developed a proprietary system that provides personalized recommendations based on user interests and spending habits. Crediverso’s many partners include Western Union, WorldRemit, Remitly, TransferWise, and XE, among others.
