Calling All Credit Unions

Calling All Credit Unions

With the growing financial pressures that people are now finding themselves under it never been more important for people to come together and help those in need.

Credit Unions by their very nature have always had the best interests of the community in mind.

Having worked in this space for the past 8 years we take pride in the fact that our Company has been able to provide solutions to this sector better serving credit union members.

Now it is time for us to give something back so we are delighted to announce the launch of the C19 Payments Response Unit initiative

The unit is designed to streamline the flow of finances to those in need. It will work via donations from individuals, FI's, companies and government bodies who wish to provide an additional route of funding to those in need.

We are working with individual developers and companies to build a platform to:

  1. Look after those who do not qualify for a welfare payment or other support but are in desperate need of income at this time.
  2. Provide career guidance and sponsorship for those wishing to retrain due to the crisis. There will be a strong focus on sponsoring people and businesses so they can earn from on-line activities.
  3. Assist companies in looking at new opportunities to generate income. This could include assisting retailer and restaurants to provide a home delivery service or a hardware store to go online.
  4. Donate to care workers and volunteers and people assisting in the battle through other means. These could be individuals putting their lives on the line proving care or testing and those who have redeployed their resources to produce items such as ventilators. PPE etc.

What we need now.

€10,000 towards the development of the C19 PRU platform that will connect people and organisations with those in need.

The platform will be safe secure and use the best available technologies such as machine learning and blockchain to ensure the money always goes to the right people and causes.

In the first instance we will be using this money to fund developers who have indeed themselves been disadvantaged by the crisis.

What we would love you to do now.
