Powering banking for everyone
By enabling any type of organisation to launch banking services
A tech company with a social purpose
Our goal is to power banking services that are so affordable, financial exclusion can become a thing of the past.
SaaScada was founded from a desire to provide first-class banking capabilities to the financially excluded. Those facing financial exclusion typically don’t have access to decent banking services, because providers lack financial incentive. We wanted to change that.
In 2012, we successfully pioneered a venture providing a feature-rich digital bank, on a platform which is highly scalable, whilst being inexpensive to launch and operate. We called our platform Parlez!
Parlez! enables us to offer banking services at a revolutionary low cost. This means we can provide agile, scalable and competitive banking solutions for any type of organisation, serving any customer group.
Helping clients solve financial exclusion is in our DNA. So is offering brilliant banking services. Our platform lets us do both.
