About us
Bankuish works to improve the lives of freelancers and gig workers by providing a path to full financial inclusion. We're bridging the gap between gig workers and financial institutions. Our platform allows users to leverage their work history to demonstrate their creditworthiness and access preapproved loans and other financial services. Users can also use our app to grow their credit score and reach their financial goals. We've de-risked the process of lending to gig workers for traditional banks, allowing them to discover new customers, improve customer relationships, and increase productivity.

Global Money Week 2025: Empowering the Next Generation of Financial Resilience As we celebrate Global Money Week (GMW) from March 17-23, 2025, we recognize the critical role of financial literacy in shaping a secure future—not just for young people but for everyone, including gig workers, creators, and freelancers. 📊 According to an OECD - OCDE study on financial education, only 33% of adults in member countries have an adequate level of financial knowledge. This gap in financial literacy highlights an urgent need for better education, awareness, and access to financial tools. At Filance AI and Bankuish, financial education and inclusion are at the core of what we do. We are committed to empowering the future of work by providing independent workers with the tools, knowledge, and financial resources they need to thrive: ✅ Educational Resources – We provide financial literacy tools to help independent workers make smarter financial decisions and build long-term stability. ✅ Alternative Credit Scoring – Our model evaluates actual earnings, ensuring gig workers have fair access to credit, even without a traditional salaried income. ✅ Free Performance Reports – By linking their work accounts, users can consolidate their metrics across multiple platforms, saving time and gaining actionable insights to improve performance. ✅ Personalized & Real-Time AI Insights – With Aimee, our AI chat assistant, users receive real-time advice on boosting earnings, improving efficiency, and accessing financial products tailored to their needs. This week, more than ever, join us in our mission to bring financial dignity to the lives of independent workers 🔜 Stay tuned for updates on how Filance and Bankuish continue to empower the future of work. #FinancialInclusion #GigEconomy #GlobalMoneyWeek #FinancialLiteracy #Bankuish #Filance #Empowerment #FinancialResilience #GMW2025

We are here to change financial inclusion—not just 4 years from now, but today. Our CEO José V. Fernández shares his insights on the impact of winning the 4YFN Startup of the Year award at #MWC2025.
¿Qué Significa Ganar el Premio 4YFN para Bankuish? Ser reconocidos como la Startup del Año en 4YFN es más que un logro; es una poderosa validación de nuestra misión: brindar dignidad a la vida financiera del futuro del trabajo. Ya sean repartidores, conductores de apps, freelancers o creadores de contenido, todos merecen un amplio acceso financiero y mejores oportunidades. Durante los últimos cinco años, nuestro equipo ha trabajado incansablemente para desarrollar soluciones innovadoras para esta fuerza laboral que crece año tras año. Con la economía gig proyectada para crecer a una tasa anual del 16.18% hasta 2031 y la economía de los creadores ya superando los $104 mil millones, la demanda de soluciones financieras justas y personalizadas nunca ha sido tan urgente. Sin embargo, a pesar de sus contribuciones económicas, los trabajadores independientes siguen excluidos del sistema financiero simplemente porque no tienen un salario tradicional. Para millones, esto significa no tener acceso a productos financieros justos, lo que a menudo los obliga a recurrir a préstamos abusivos que impactan directamente su bienestar y el futuro de sus familias. Durante mi pitch, compartí solo una de las muchas historias que escuchamos a diario de nuestros 700,000 usuarios activos semanales en América Latina y EE.UU. bajo el nombre Filance AI. Sus experiencias son el motor de nuestro compromiso en transformar el acceso financiero para el futuro del trabajo. Este premio también otorga legitimidad a los modelos alternativos de puntuación crediticia y destaca la necesidad urgente de que las grandes instituciones financieras adopten modelos de evaluación crediticia más justos y basados en datos alternativos. Al aprovechar datos más robustos y herramientas avanzadas de gestión de riesgos, los bancos y las instituciones financieras finalmente pueden atender a un mercado masivo y desatendido: el futuro del trabajo. Esperamos que este #MWC25, con el lema “Converge.Connect.Create” haya generado el impacto que buscamos crear cada día en Bankuish: ✅ Que startups e instituciones financieras CONVERJAN en mejores modelos de evaluación crediticia ✅ Que millones de trabajadores independientes se CONECTEN con ofertas financieras justas ✅ Que CREAMOS un futuro con mayor inclusión financiera La reciente inversión de €500 millones en IA en España es una señal clara del poder transformador de la tecnología. En Bankuish, lo vemos como un respaldo e inspiración para seguir innovando y abrir oportunidades de crédito a millones de personas, especialmente en un evento donde la revolución tecnológica ha sido protagonista. .¿Nuestros próximo pasos? Continuar la expansión de nuestra tecnología y generar más inclusión financiera en Canadá, Europa y Asia. 🚀
