==Idea== <vimeo>477207185</vimeo> 11 million people struggle with restricted access to financial services in the UK. This exclusion heightens poverty and inhibits social mobility, and Pockit believes it is one of the least discussed social problems of our age. Pockit is on a mission to change this. Virraj Jatania’s family has conducted a lot of business in emerging markets, seeing firsthand the challenges faced by people with no access to a current account, who rely on cash, cheques or family accounts to manage their income. This need sparked the idea to build a solution. Pockit offers its 500,000 registered users access to a current account they can open in minutes. With a Pockit contactless prepaid Mastercard®, customers can send and receive money, make payments online and in-store. They can also send money abroad to over 29 countries. But this is only the beginning. Since launching in 2014, Pockit has built partnerships to enable customers to improve their credit scores and earn cashback when shopping for essentials. Pockit has raised over £24M so far from leading investors. This investment has allowed Pockit to scale and process over £1B in transactions for users. Pockit does not plan to stop here and will continue scaling the business, which is why it is fundraising. This crowdfund will allow them to reach the next step of their journey to provide smarter financial services to even more people across the globe.
